If Saturn isn't allowed then I vote for Dualshock or Dual Analog.

I wouldn't vote for the Saturn anyway. The top row of buttons are quite uncomfortable because of their bizarre nub shape. The SNES wins hands down. I prefer the rhombus over the square layout for the face buttons that became the norm.

1. 8BitDo M30
2. SEGA Genesis (6-Button)
3. SEGA Genesis (3-Button)
4. DualSense
5. DualShock 4

>>10609215
GameCube.

This doesn't narrow it down at all.

snes controller for 16 bit

for retro, probably dual shock, since it's basically a modern controller minus a couple features.

>>10609215
Even if Saturn was allowed its still PSX non dualshock

>>10609215

Dreamcast then

This is not a terrible answer. The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S have two of the best controllers I've ever held. Yes, even for retro.

>>10609215
Easy.

>>10609361
No analog triggers, discarded.

>>10609370
Only matters for racing games. Digital buttons are superior for the other 90% of games because using analog triggers for digital functions is shit.

Only games that matter.

Atari Paddles. just a perfect controller. bliss to use if you have a pair without jitter.

Hail to the king baby

>>10609259
Just take the Ps2 saturn pad

>>10609352
I haven't used a PS5 controller, but I'm planning to buy one and a PS1/2 Bluetooth adapter to use it for those systems.
I could use a dual shock 4, but I don't find it comfortable after using a series X controller.

I want to play Mario 64 on that.

I really like the Gamecube controller. I think Dualshock is better designed for general gaming but part of the reason I like getting as many of those Retro Game Collections for Gamecube as possible is because I like playing all of them on the Gamecube controller.
It just feels really nice in my hands.

>>10609215
That is my favorite controller aside from the six-button on Genesis.

>>10609578
Ahhh, the duke. I have pretty big hands, so it fit my grip nicely.

>>10609215
I'd say it's the 8BitDo M30... but I've been having issues with mine. I'll be fair, I got this one cheap, I didn't even expect it to do so well for me, it's the Bluetooth version too, and I've had few issues on delay and things like that... but despite me loving the D-Pad, it's the part that's ruining it all, I'm not sure how common this issue is, but my D-Pad has been "sticking" when I press "Left" sometimes...

What I mean is that all other directions work fine, but sometimes, not all times, when pressing it, it just stays there and keeps inputing it despite me wanting my character to stand still, and it sucks.

It's happening for upper left diagonals too, but the main issue is simply going left, trying to stop, but the disk gets sort of stuck to it's surrounding housing and inputs when I don't want it to do so.

I've seen that one of the ways to fix this issue is by removing the D-Pad, which is somewhat easy to do as all that it takes it pulling it a bit harder, and cleaning it up a bit before putting it back in, and the issue has become way less pronounced, but it's still there, and I get the feeling that in the future even cleaning won't work anymore, what did I do wrong and what should I next time?

dualshock 2 for me

got a retro-bit saturn pad last week and finally understand why autists have been preaching about saturn controllers like it's the second coming of christ

>>10609215
If you don't know what this is you aren't a gamer or person above 80 IQ.

>>10609215
Has anyone here actually got the new RetroBit Saturn controller with analog sticks? I've been curious about this one for a while, but it having those Switch style analog sticks rubber me the wrong way... how does it actually feel to hold it though? Is it alright to use those analog sticks? I feel like this could be my favorite controller if it feels good to use them, it looks quite perfect.

>>10611525
Personally, I love the controller. It takes a bit to get used to the small joysticks, but after that it's pretty comfy

>>10609215
Dualshock is goated

>>10609215
Genesis 6 button

DualSense

>>10609839
Why don't you actually disassemble it and clean it? If your dumbass can put together a Lego set then you can take apart and reassemble a controller.

>>10609215
My personal favourite is Gamecube because its so comfortable in my hands and I really like the button layout, the gated joysticks, as well as the general feel of the buttons and joysticks. I wish the c stick wasn't tiny though.

Trying to be a bit more objective though, it's the dualshock, it stood the test of time and got it right almost the first try, it set the standard for what game controllers should be from then on.

For 2D consoles it's the SNES. Best Dpad and buttons (don't like the start and select buttons though, but thats not exactly major), and it's basically the blueprint for the dualshock too. I kinda like the 6 button mega drive controller, but the snes controller has almost every button to hand except for start and select without any excessive movement.

RIP thumbs.

>bottom row of buttons is 3, 2 and 1 (decreasing)
???

>>10609215
SNES then Dualshock for anything that needs sticks and/or 4 shoulder buttons.

>>10609215
Sony or Xbox from the 6th (I say it's the 5th generation) generation

Technically it's the one right after the Xbox original because the buttons aren't as rounded but they're both good. Ps2/late ps1 are also good

I would have a redesigned Xbox original controller because it's the best sized one and just flatten out the buttons and make it more tactile

>>10612509
At least they put the sticks further apart. That's an improvement

>>10609338
I don't like the colors. Looks like the ugly Jordans

Other than the ugly colors this is probably best or the new xbox one

>>10609578
The red blue green yellow buttons on this suck because of them being too rounded

Everything else about it is great. I would replace the joystick tops with something grippier though

>>10609361
A non ergo version of a logitech design, that came out after.

Let's be honest, logitech and hori are better than 1st party.

>>10614105
>Logitech
Throw that into garbage bin and buy a 1st party controller.

Four buttoms right in front of the controller. It's enough to work with unless you program it like all into like weird kinda crazy button combinations and shit

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
