The DS4 is good but it's not perfect for every use. Amond other things it lacks analogue face buttons (PS2 and PS3 emulation) It lacks 6 face buttons on the right side (N64, Saturn, MAME fight games)
There's really no one controller capable of doing all systems justice, the DS4 is good for modern PC games and Wii U emulation due to the built in gyro.

I personally own an 8bitdo Snes controller which i use for NES/SNES games
A real N64 controller with adapter for N64 and sometimes NES games (great D-pad)
Xbox One controller for PC and Gamecube games (not perfect for GC but ok). I also use it for Wii-U but gyro sections in games require use of my Wii controller

And last but not least i have a Wii-Motion plus with nunchuk and sensor bar for Wii games.

Looking to buy a DS3 for PS2 and PS3 games though.

Well it's MUCH better than 360 dpad bullshit. It is a bit too clicky, but I've played all NES, SNES and Neo Geo games on it without problems. Then I moved fully to DS4 because while analog sticks and triggers are worse, the rest of the controller is much better.

The knock-off Mega Drive controller that comes with the korean version of Guilty Gear X is one of the better Win 9x gameport controllers out there.
The drivers are absolute ass and only in korean though, could probably be fixed by a competent software engineer in an afternoon.

iBuffalo SNES controllers are what you're looking for, similar to the originals in almost every way except for the fact that it's about 1g lighter (you can fix this by taping a quarter to the inside). Don't buy the famicom variant, the shoulder buttons are too tiny since they weren't designed to be on famicom controllers.

Can anyone suggest a decent knock-off 6 face genesis controller to me? I've tried a few but most suck ass.

I am this fag >>5193870 and snooty about dpads. I can at least say that the xbone dpad is a hell of a step up from the absolute garbage xbox 360 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""dpad"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" (re: axis with a dpad-like face). It's not the best but if you want to settle for an okay dpad with a controller with more versatility then the xbone controller is serviceable to say the least.

Dual Shock 4. The dpad is centrally placed, it doesn't matter than it also has analogs.

The dpad is also extremely comfortable and a huge step up over previous Dual Shocks, which have a rough dpad for some insane reason.

American SNES had pink and purple buttons on a gray controller. You probably didn't know that Super Mario RPG has battle menu buttons were color coded outside of the USA release. So, it's technically less optimal but the pink/purple is very nostalgic for me.

Speaking of SNES controllers, don't buy this. I got it as a gift, just tested it and it's broken. Not a QA problem either, it's just designed this poorly. The contacts are not fitted to the dpad, so pressing a direction on the dpad doesn't cause input. Instead, you have to press down the center and 'rock' the dpad in the direction you want.

It came with a Wii to USB adapter but the wii classic controllers have really short cables. If anyone has advice on fixing the dpad let me know.

Top kek kid. The device works well enough. Must do because it's running the same code on the same CPU as other devices. And I guess if you want to spend $50 to save yourself a little wiring that's your call. But no. People who made the same thing or better for a few bucks didn't "already fucked up".
