Top 19 3D controllers
7) Xbox 360 Controller
Ergonomic excellence, responsive triggers, and solid buttons. But the left stick placement feels weird if you grew up with symmetrical controllers. The D-pad feels wrong, and nobody likes constantly running out of batteries.

Top 19 3D controllers
8) Wii Classic Controller Pro
Nintendo remembered some of us like actual buttons. Dual sticks, proper shoulder buttons, and an okay shape. Odd placement of the cable (plugged into the Wii Remote) was clumsy, but this felt like a real pad again.

9) Wiimote & Nunchuck
Nintendo ditched tradition for something unique. The split hands felt surprisingly natural, and motion opened new doors. But outside of Wii exclusives, the setup struggled to match traditional controls. Innovative but uneven.

10) OG Xbox Controller S
Smaller, better button placement, and far more comfortable. The black and white buttons are still weird, but everything else works. Still not perfect, but a leap forward. The accessory slots, borrowed from the DC, are a great idea

11) PS3 Sixaxis
Sony ditched rumble claiming it wasn’t compatible with motion, then re-added it almost immediately. Lightweight to the point of feeling hollow, and lacking the haptics we’d grown to expect. Playable, but feels like a real downgrade from the DS2

As a Tolkien fan, the cover for this makes it look really exciting. The main menu is a bit more rough though.

12) PS Dual Analog Controller
The forgotten sibling. Came before the DualShock, and added sticks but no rumble. Solved the ergonomics issues with the small release day controller, but ultimately it was just a step on the way to greatness.

13) N64 controller
Different grips for different games, but also 1/3 of unused controller most of the time. The analogue stick was groundbreaking for Nintendo, but also wore out fast. The first hints at thoughts about ways to "switch" playing styles

I’m sure all the Americans will be totally okay with this, same as how everyone is suddenly okay with $80 games (which will be $100 with tariffs I guess).

14) GameCube controller
Strange, asymmetrical, and one-of-a-kind. Comfortable grip, great stick, but weird button sizing and layout makes it a poor fit for many multi-platform games. Still, there's a reason people willingly use it 20 years later
