Which console controller did you prefer?
Question is in the title!
This isn't just limited to this generation - so if you preferred the rectangularness of the NES controller or the smooth curves of the 360 controller... just say!
For me it was the N64, that was pretty much the perfect controller for me. Even with the weight rumble pak plugged in.
N64 was kind of a weird controller but I liked it anyway.
The Xbox 360 controller is good too.
SNES is hands-down GOAT
When I was a kid, I thought the N64 controller looked like a penis.
Yeah, I don't know either.

Two analog sticks. Directional buttons. 4 Face buttons. 4 Shoulder buttons. Start and Select button. That's all I need and it served me fine!
While the PS3 is my favorite this gen, Gamecube had it all.
The PS3 controller is basically perfect as far as I'm concerned.
Never had too much of a preference, never used a controller I didn't like. The only criticism I would have against one is that I wish Nintendo had a second stick on the N64 controller, since four camera buttons was forward-looking as to where games were headed, but not quite far enough ahead.
I'm partial to having analog sticks horizontally aligned, it feels more intuitive for shooters and, of course, katamari ^_^
What he said! (SPOILER)Although I have no idea what "GOAT" means but as long as it means something along the lines of "stellar" then I'm hip to that.
I believe the hip slang our boy Denmark is using stands for "Greatest of All Time" dear chadmonkey.
Personally my favourite is the gamecube just because for mine it's by far the most comfortable controller I ever used.
This generation it depends on the game, 360 by far the best pad for FPS games and strangely for Fifa, however is utterly and completely gash for fighting games. PS pad is the king for fighters as far as pads go, not so much for FPS, but that's just personal preference to where I like things for certain games. I hate having the left stick down low for shooters, but find the 360 pad way too big to play fighters comfortably, and the D-pad on the 360 is the worst d-pad in the history of consoles.
Excellent. (SPOILER)That makes more sense than Generalized Occupational Aptitude Test.
PS3. The PS2 controller was already near-perfect, and for once Sony didn't change what wasn't broken.
Though I will say that the N64 controller was oddly comfortable for some games.
The original XBox controller before they shrank it was the best controller ever. It was actually a decent size for my hands and I didn't have to contort myself like I did for the GameCube or anything. I truly expected better of you Dan. I don't understand how anyone can think that's a good controller, aside from feeling cheap and plasticky it's the only controller I've ever used that causes physical pain within about half an hour.
360 controller is very good too.
But I hope all you tiny-handed freaks responsible for terrible too-small controllers suffer from paper cuts on your little fingers
Like lovely DK said. Pretty much that.
I'm 6'2" with rather monstrous hands and I couldn't hold that thing comfortably. You're actually only the second person I've met who said that thing was comfortable. And the other person actually once had his thumb start bleeding while playing Tony Hawk because those face buttons are an abomination.The original XBox controller before they shrank it was the best controller ever.
