Dualshock 3. It's truly wonderful. Still working flawlessly after all these years thanks to all the time and money put into developing it, something you won't see in almost any third party controller. That's the only real problem with third party stuff. They can be comfy, they can come with features, but somehow there's always a build quality issue (doesn't last long, made of cheap crap, or both) because they just don't have the funding.
I've heard the DS4 is even better, but I'm not gonna go out and pay for the difference unless my DS3 starts falling apart.
I like the Xbox controller's general size and shape and the Gamecube's octagonal analog stick, but overall they're not really as nice. I can also understand how people would want to play older games with older controllers, but I'm glad those shitty, old, stiff controllers are gone. It feels way nicer to use a modern pad and buttons even with games from the 80s.
The only thing I really wish my DS3 was better at is playing N64 games just because the N64 controller was weird and nonstandard as fuck. I guess the Sega consoles kinda face that same six-button problem, but I was never a Sega person.
