At the moment I use my 8bitdo pro2. It was kinda expensive but its a huge upgrade from my no name switch controllers and awful gamesube one from powera.

Also, the 3ds had really good controls (we don't talk about the c stick)

Another vote for the steam controller - it's versatile enough to work comfortably with every game I've wanted to play.

PC game for decades with a recent (5 years?) Switch purchase. I was never a fan of controllers and still aren't for anything to do with aiming, but the Switch Pro Controller impressed me as a real nice piece of hardware. Battery life is phenomenal too.

Not practical with anything else, but the Gamcube controller was so comfy. Def part of the 8bitdo ultimate gang now.

GameCube ones are nice

But powera can eat shit

PS3 (that’s the Dualshock iirc?), Steam Controller, and the Wii U Pro Controller (I quite like the two analog sticks at the top). In that order probably.

PS5 controller. Bought a broken one to fix and replace my xBox 360 controller I'd been using and it feels so much better. The trackpad is also useful for games with partial controller support like My Summer Car.

I recently upgraded my XBox 360 Wireless controller and got the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro. Hall Effect Sensors trigger guard. Picked it up for und er 50 bucks on Aliexpress. They are available on Amazon US, but not in Europe.

Really happy with it so far.

I'm using a Thrustmaster Eswap X Pro. The joystick and dpad modules are hot swappable and can be put in any orientation you prefer. They sell replacement joystick modules for $20, which is nice because you don't have to replace the whole controller if one gets stick drift.

I really enjoy the Gulikit King Kong Pro 2 (and would assume the 3 is better) because it all runs on firmware. No software to install, it just works as it should. Also works on Linux without fuss.

On its functionality side it has hall effect triggers and joysticks plus nice buttons.

Nice :3

The 8bitdo also had good firmware but an optional app for macros
