All I want from the Elite Series 3 is better thumbstick components.

The ones the iFixIt claimed would only last a few hundred hours. For $180 I'd like the thumbsticks to last longer!

I would bump the wii-remote + nunchuck motion plus controller down into honorable status. When it was used correctly, it was used to great effect in games like Metroid Prime Trilogy, Red Steel 2, No More Heroes 1+2, and Super Mario Galaxy 1+2. However, when the developers didn't care or tried too hard, it resulted in a numerous games with broken controls (including ironically enough the first Red Steel). It still deserves honorable mention since it was thankfully comfortable to hold and the version with the motion plus tech was more accurate with motion controls. If anything, I am surprised the Sega Saturn Japanese controller or the Saturn MK2 controller in the US isn't anywhere to be seen. It's generally regarded as one of the kings of controls for fighting games. Heck, I'm also surprised the Wii U pro controller was only briefly mentioned. I actually like it better than both the 360 controller and the Switch pro controller in terms of comfort. While the GCN controller lost its spot as the best 3D gaming controller a long while back, I would not place it only number 8.

Strong Disagree. The switch pro controller is so much better for many more games without its adaptive triggers where you can out them down halfway. Also the durability is amazing. I drop it all the time and never breaks, dropped xbox controller once and the R button was completely broken. Unlike Joycons, I have been using it since 2017 and never got drift. Also I prefer the Nintendo ABXY layout due to preference and steam supports it greatly due to the capture button still working on Steam.

Solid list, but I strongly disagree about the DS4 being on it. It has a pitiful battery life. The thumbsticks have an annoying bump instead of a chasm, which makes my thumbs slide off of them constantly. This gets really infuriating in open world games where you have to hold the stick down to get around. The grips feel plasticky and hollow compared to other controllers, which gives it a cheap overall feeling while playing. The triggers, while an improvement over previous generations, don't hold a candle to the xbox one triggers. The handles are for some reason perpendicular to each other rather than bent - the designers apparently had no understanding of basic human anatomy, and holding this thing for hours is really not comfortable. The light on the front is the most baffling feature - it doesn't add anything to the experience, but it does cause annoying screen glare if you happen to sit too close. The touchpad isn't bad, but it doesn't really add anything, and I imagine it mostly drives the manufacturing cost higher for no good reason. I really like the little speaker in the few games that take advantage of it, but like the touchpad it was also underutilized in most games. I'd give the DS4 credit for its durability though - I burned through two Xbox one controllers throughout last gen, while my original DS4 still goes strong with only minor stick drift (used both consoles about equally). I'll be the first to proclaim that the PS4 was the better console, but to imply that the controller was better than the xbox controller, or even good, is absurd to me.

I'm wating for the Elite Series 3. Something tells me, it'll have adaptive driggers (of course under another name :) ). Can't wait to have it.

The Xbox One controller is pretty much the most ergonomic controller there is, which is why all new controllers nowadays seem to be very similar to it.

The DualShock 4 is better than the Wavebird, the 360 controller, and the Dualsense? I mean, I guess you’re allowed to have an opinion... even a wrong one

Okay okay, I know what you're gonna say but hear me out. I love the joy-cons. I'm not saying they deserve first place, but they really should have been in the podium. Let me go over the pros and cons. Cons: Drift. It sucks. A lot. I hate that part. The buttons are quite... clicky. It's something I can enjoy, personally, but I can see it being a major downside. The d-pad. It's not irredeemably awful, but it's a considerable downgrade. The shoulder buttons are VERY clicky and feel quite fragile, as well as the trigger ones. (My ZL button from one of my joycons doesn't even do that clicky sound after playing splatoon 2 for so long) Pros: You barely ever charge them. Even if you constantly forget to dock them you almost never see the "low battery" warning. They are cozy. Maybe not comfortable, or professional, but they just kind of irradiate a feeling of joy and simplicity. The fact that you can play handheld or docked. It may seem like an awful way to play but sometimes I pick my switch out of my dock to play handheld just because I feel like it. It's just, different in a weird but awesome way. The hd rumble. If you have ever played 1, 2, switch then you know what im talking about. The hd rumble is a whole other level. There's also the normal controller looking form it can take, which is way better to use than you might think. It really does feel like a dualshock while also feeling completely different. The only reason I bought a pro controller is because the drift is killing me. It becomes unplayable at times. Were it not for the drift It would be my personal 2nd place.

Wave bird at release was basically science fiction. A low latency multichannel high precision controller with extreme battery life released in *2002?* I am confident that Nintendo forced the hand of every other console manufacturer with that design in the subsequent PS3/360 generation.

Why hasn't someone made a controller that is an Xbox mirror? Instead of the analog stick being on the left... put it on the right where the ABXY buttons are

I totally agree with this list, BUT I do also think that it depends on the type of gamer that you are Of course the Elite pro controller is amazing, and the Dual sense falls behind it not because of the technology used, but the implementation of it, 'cause an actual gamer doesn't need more FEELIN AND TASTE, what he needs is to be able to have total control in the most ergonomic way, and for me that's why the Elite is first in any list

the thing for me with the xbox controllers have always been its size. like its just too big for my liking. dont have a ps5 yet and do kinda worry since it seems closer to an xbox controller in terms of size. but perhaps my familiarity with the buttons will make it less of a problem than i think it is.
