[QUOTE="Stephano, post: 7788796, member: 383640"] With almost 40 years worth of gaming peripherals made, everyone most likely has a favorite. Whether it be because of nostalgia, utility, design, or just the feel of it, [U]what are your favorite controllers or peripherals for games?[/U] If you can't decide, [I]what are your three favorites?[/I] [U]What do you like about them?[/U] In addition, [U]what are some controllers that you just can't stand?[/U] It's not rare that there are otherwise good games on systems that are ruined by a bad controller. These controllers/peripherals can range from Fighting Sticks, Keyboards, Modern controllers, paddles, the Kinect, or even the [I][B]Steel Battalion[/B][/I] controller on the original Xbox? [SPOILER="My Favorites"] 1. Xbox 360 Controller While the 360 was a piece of trash, although fun, it's controller to me is so good to hold. It's heavy, the control sticks are reliable, and the buttons never stick. The main reason I like this so much is because i can use it on my computer as well. While yes a keyboard is superior to controllers, I like to lay back and play sometimes since i'm always hunched over at a computer for school. 2. Gamecube Controller I like this controller for the same reasons as the 360. It's solid, feels good to hold, not too light, and the buttons never stick. My favorite aspect about the controller is the analog bumpers. They just feel so good to press. 3. Keyboard Obvious answer is obvious [/SPOILER] [SPOILER="My most disliked controller"] The PS3 Controller Many may disagree with me on this but I cannot stand this controller. I really like heavy controllers because most of the time they are durable. The PS3 controller on the other hand is super light and can easily break if dropped.When i squeeze the controller, i can feel the bottom half and top half move ever so slightly as though its about to snap. While i can get over this, what I can't get over are the joysticks. I don't know if y'all had the same issues i've had but those things tend to stick.... like a lot. In fact, about 90% of all of my falling deaths in [I][B]Demon's Souls[/B][/I] are caused by those joysticks sticking to the edge and causing me to fall. This my biggest gripe with the controller. Feel free to disagree. :) [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol
