Which controllers do you prefer?

In terms of gaming, which do you like the most?

It can be for anything - PC or console, even handheld if that is your jam.

I have not liked any controller as much as I have liked the Xbox 360 ones. They are still my favorite and I still use those for PC gaming. I do have a new Xbox and like the "improved" controllers but for whatever reason, the 360 ones are still my favorite. They seem to last longer too. I already had to buy a new controller and have not even had my new xbox 2 years. I think I have had it about a year and a half if that. Had to deal with my stick drifting and could not fix it.

Anyways, share what you like most!

I am partial to xbox controllers as well, I think the newer ones are fine though. Like they have the same shape and feel in the hand but I will admit, the older ones felt better made. They likely cheaped out on the cosmetic parts. Either way, they still hold up longer than any other ones I have used which is why I keep getting them. I tried getting one of those pdp ones and it did not last long, maybe 9 months.

I had an issue like this too. I had one of those After Glow ones I think they are called, the RGB one by the brand and the wire ended up becoming bad after like 4 or 5 months. I was able to replace that but then the sticks started acting up and the right trigger seems like it is locked sometimes. I thought something was stuck but I couldn't find anything when I opened it up!

Just stock name-brand controllers honestly. I have tried off-label and third party ones and the never last. Yeah you save some money but you end up having to buy them again and again whilst the big name brand controllers last years with care.

I prefer keyboard and mouse but if I just want to sit back I have a Razer Xbox Controller for mostly RPG games. The mouse and keyboard is more for FPS fast paced games.

I tried this for FPS games and I just can't grasp it. I know the mouse is more precise and all but it feels so awkward to me playing games like this on a keyboard that I could just never get used to it.

All controllers seem to have their defects and it is just an unlucky draw. Even when you see most people being pleased with them, there is always a good 5% that had bad experiences even with proper care. Some are just duds!
