Original dual shock is uncomfortable as fuck
And I'd never do it but it's not a joke; I can't tell the difference when I'm all alone

PS2's would be even better, but they had poor build quality and would often break

The current gens D pads are much better than the 360s. Xbones and PS4 and the current gens have decent d pads.

PlayStation controller stans are a sad lot. Its okay to admit they have the worst modern controller. Its okay to admit Xbox came up with the perfect design and have only improved it since.

that said, the 360 controller definitely needed some refinements so its a good thing they fixed it all with the Xbox One controller.
the xbox one controller is what the xbox 360 controller failed to be

Sega's D-Pad's have been generally superior to anything Sony or MS could come up with.

Nintendo's Cross Shaped D-Pad isn't that good compared to Sega.

The Xbox one controller I bought for pc broke within a week, couldn't use the joystick for anything. Went back to Xbox 360 controllers and no problems.

The only thing Xbox did that was perfect was using AA batteries.

You don't have to worry about taking apart your controller to replace a proprietary battery.

Something Sony is infamous for doing, proprietary BS instead of using standardized equipment.

IMO Symmetrical > Assymetrical.

But that's a personal preference issue.

Not sure. But it comes with a little charger base that is nice. The case has a little port that allows you to plug the base in without taking it out of the case.

Good god no lol. DualShocks have been terrible until the DualShock 4. That controller is absolutely one of the reasons PlayStation never really appealed to me.

My biggest gripe with the Xbox 360 controller is when the battery packs start to become loose. And somehow on every wired one of gotten, at least one of the control sticks has been squeaky

Fifty years from now when you're looking back on your life, don't you want to say you had the guts to get in the car?

These days, Xbox style controllers all the way.

Anything else and if I play more than about an hour, my hand starts cramping and is pretty much useless for a day or so.

They use proprietary batteries that slowly wear down over time and have shorter & shorter total battery life that you have to disassemble and replace.

This is my SIXAXIS battery that I have to replace, completely proprietary.

You do know that people can like different analog stick configurations.

Some people prefer "Symetrical Analog Stick setups", others prefer "Asymmetrical Analog Sticks"

That's why the modern "Modular Controller" is a good idea.

It lets users customize the controller to what they like.
