What is your favourite game control pad I like the xbox s one best, mainly cause it fits my hands and the trigger buttons, as you can get good throtle controll, i know you can with ps2 ones by ajusting how hard you press the buttons but its tricky.

PS2 controllers are crap, I have now had 9 different ones since the ps1 was released, and I think theres a problem with the black ones with duel shock in blue writing at the top. I have 4 black ones and have the same problem with all of them, the problem is the L2 and R2 buttons knack up straight away, I will never again buy a black ps2 duel shock pad, period.

PS2 is my fave but who can forget the brilliant Z trigger on the N64 controller that was great!

Pretty sure it's the S. That's what it says on the box anyway. If the older one was bigger, god knows how anyone managed to play Halo.

PS2 pad for me, can't stand the Xbox one and those trigger buttons and the gamecube one is too weird for me. PS2 is simple and the ergonomics are great on it.

Lucky you Coin you have problems with the analogue sticks. My D-pads always get worn out so quickly and its so hard to play pro evo with the analogue sticks so i end up having to buy new controllers frequently.

My PS2 controllers always get f***ed real quick.

One controller - no Analogue light...
Other - no grip on Analogue sticks.

Other than that, the PS2 controller is my favouritest, at the moment anyhoo.

GC isn't bad though.

And neither is the DC's.

GC, only as they seem to fit my hands perfectly. The PS2 ones are too basic and regular to be as comfortable as GC or XBox
