I don't plan on getting a Wii U.

Why? It looks exactly like a 360 controller except they shuffled the button and stick.

>>332383439
For NX duh

>>332383480
I'm asking why the Wii U controller is the best of all time.
>>
>>332383439
It works on PC, the buttons and D-pad are great, and it has godtier battery life because it uses re-purposed 3DS batteries.

For its time, the Snes controller. It nailed most of the design that's now standard in modern controllers and had just the right amount of buttons.

Commercially, the Wiimote, it made the shittiest console of the generation the most successful thanks to a retarded hype.

Currently it's very subjective

Although I do love its starship aesthetic, the dpad is just so uncomfortable to use. It actually has cut up my thumb a few times when I've been forced to use it. VMU was supercool, though.

I didn't actually play the 360 much but that controller was comfortable as fuck. I've been thinking about getting one for my PC, but I've already got a DS4 that works well enough so I can't really justify the purchase.

DS4's nice too, but not quite as comfy as the 360 pad. It's miles better than the previous PS controller design though.
>>
Whats the best controller for pc gaming? Im kinda used to the PS controller layout but the xbone controller doesnt seem too bad except for shitty bumpers
>>
>>332384945
There are chiclet-style keyboards with mechanical switches.
>>
>>332385218
A wired 360 controller will last at least 5 years and is really damn good.

Don't get meme'd on and buy something more expensive when these old 360 controllers are as good.
>>
How does the 360 pad compare to the Xbone pad, in terms of comfort & size?
>>
>>332381609
The Gamecube controller is great for the most part but it's not perfect and isn't suited to all genres.
Fix the D-Pad, add a matching shoulder button for Z on the other side, and make R and L a little crisper, and it's just about perfect.
I don't get why Nintendo didn't bother to do this and just rereleased the original for Sm4sh.

DS4 or Xboner?

I don't know why Nintendo would discontinue the gamecube controller. It's the best gamepad.

>incredibly ergonomic
>bumpers cradle your fingers
>each button is differently shaped allowed for extra sensory recognition of input
>c-stick in the perfect position for quick flicks
>joystick lies in octagon

The only criticism is the d-pad, which works just as well for extra input buttons.

>he doesnt know about the updated controllers
>>
>>332385986
I think this could be improved upon a bit. Just add like 2 more face buttons and 2 more on the sides, then add two joysticks. Lastly, adding a touchpad in the middle would make it all come together beautifully. Heck, while we're at it, let's get rid of the outdated "Select" button and replace it with a "Facebook" button since no one uses the "Select" button anymore but EVERYONE uses Facebook!

The Xbox 360 and Gamecube controllers felt really natural in my hands, but the buttons on the DS2, especially the triggers, makes it a clear winner for me.
>>
I loved my Logitech Chillstream.
>>
>>332381609

Gamecube controller is what I play best, but that is mainly because I got used to hitting 4-5 buttons per second in Smash.

Honestly the DS4 is really comfy in my hands

Great library, perfect controller, 2D power house, numerous perfect ports of arcade games, expandable RAM, the greatest 2D and 3D games of its generation.

Six face buttons are excellent though, don;t know why this isn't being done more (with both bumper and triggers as well). I hate context sensitive buttons, and those things mess up more than they work.
