The best controller I arguably thing is the 360 controller. It just feels right to use in fighting games and fps. I like xboxs layout with the analog sticks.

Dualshock comes a close 2nd but was never a fan of the analog layout.

I find the n64 most jarring and I get that it was meant to be used differently for different games, but I still preferred the 3rd party options that took it closer to a standard gamepad.

Your thoughts?

I really wanted to like the OG steam controller but the touchpad-joystick-analogue makes it basically impossible to play any of the games I'd want a controller for. It's a great controller for using on things that aren't really intended for controller. Want to play an FPS leaning back in your chair? It's great for that. Want to play Hades? I'm gonna pass and plug in my dualshock instead.

I actually revisited it recently and gave it a second shot after getting used to the steam deck pads, but unfortunately it's still not really doing it for me personally.
