What is your favorite controller of this generation? I personally prefer the Xbox 360 controller.
 
I'm so used to the Ps2 controller that the Ps3 controller has to be my favorite. I have small hands and with bumpers from gamestop it feels like my old ps2 equipment. The xbox controller is just too big and clunky to be comfortable to me.
 
Xbox 360 controller, it feels pretty comfortable when you are holding it, and I like the button layout.
 
Wii Remote + Nunchuk. Best control scheme ever, in my opinion. As far as traditional controls go, nothing beats the GameCube controller for me. =D Though, after using the 3DS's Circle Pad, the control stick on the GameCube controller feels really weird to me now. I'm gonna have to learn how to play Smash Bros. with a Classic Controller Pro eventually, anyway, so I might as well try switching to that... I just wish the control sticks were staggered on it like they are on the GameCube controller, then it would be one of my favorite controllers.
 
I prefer the PS3 controllers, because it's comfortable and simple. The Wii is pretty good to, but I prefer to have just one controller, that is comfortable. I haven't tried the XBOX the controller so I don't know about that one.
 
I use Xbox but I prefer Playstations one. I hate the wii's but I love GameCubes and the keyboard and mouse get annoying

And occasionally my Xbox 360 game pad for stuff like Super Meat Boy!
 
my only gripe with nintendo controllers is the 8-way analog sticks they use.

the only time i miss them is when i use a ps3 controller, but really, i'm okay with that and have gotten used to aiming a little up/down when i wanna go left/right. it's just in the way i'm accustomed to tilting. 8 way grooves on an analog stick = oh **** what are you doing, nintendo.

mouse and keyboard are good for RTS and FPS, but that's about it, aside from a few special cases.
 
Xbox controller is the most comfortable for me. Its comparable to the Gamecube controller for comfort.
 
A tie between Mouse and Keyboard and 360.

Classic Controller Pro is a close second, but they should really make it a tad bigger, because I feel like I'm going to snap the sticks every time I play. Also, switch the D-Pad with the left C-Stick.

Playstation Controller comes next.

The WiiRemote comes last for me. It's awkward playing it with a Nunchuck because the of the wires. Also, using it sideways is one of the most uncomfortable things I have experienced in my life.
 
The PS3 controller since I grew up with the PS1 and it's the easiest to use imo. I also like the GameCube controller.
 
ps3 For years Nintendo had crazy controllers when I grew up SNES dog bone? ******** n64 tri thing? better but strange lay out on the GC? then I got a wii and was like i guess this is better? but then I got a PS3 and the heavens cried the buttons all accessible and the sticks parallel finally I felt home!!! No but really its the best controller EVER and I have no clue why people dont just copy the idea? and have only one game controller... cuz dual shock WORKS!
 
I enjoyed the use of the N64 Controller, but looking back, I've recently tried to use one that I've modified to work with USB and it just feels so strange. The Z button will always and forever be the bane of my existance, but I have to applaud Nintendo for putting buttons everywhere on every inch of space they have.
 
The PS3 seems like the most normal feeling controller to my hands. Wii is odd, and Xbox 360 is awkward. A mouse and keyboard is also a good choice. I also like the Nintendo 3DS's controller as well.
