10. Steel Battalion Controller (Xbox)
True, it may only work with one game – two if you count the now-defunct online counterpart Line of Contact – but the functionality of the Steel Battalion controller is unbelievable. It comes in a huge box and then folds out as a big dual-stick unit with dozens of buttons and a pair of foot pedals. It even comes with an "eject" button, in case you're not feeling confident in your robot's stability. If you still have an Xbox and $200, invest in this immediately – even if you need to set up a table in front of your television.

how do you figure the 360 controller is best? My hands hurt between my thumb and index finger for nearly 2 months of play when I got my Elite. It also made my thumbs sort of ache, and I didn't play for more than an hour or two at a time when I played.
What is with the constant advertising of Guitar Hero 4?
thank god they didnt put the Sega Activator on there haha i do have to agree the 360 controller is amazing
the XBOX360 control is totley the bst
where the hell is the wiimote?
I dont know why the original playstation controller isnt on here it was lightweight and felt great, also the n64 controller felt very comfortable, i own both a ps3 and 360 they're both good in different ways and i agree that the 360 controller is a far improvement over the old xbox controller the sixxaxis ps3 controller feels pretty much like the dualshock 2 which ispretty comfortable also.
I'd be hard-pressed to even call the Xbox 360 DPad 'decent'. On the flipside though, the controller itself actually is very comfortable.
They made a special xbox controller for the release of Halo 2, it was like holding two pistols, it was awsome! definately belongs in a top ten, plus Playstation controllers are crap, they're not comfortable and feel flimsy. 360 controllers are fairly awsome :D
The running pad on NES remember that.
i have the super nintendo its fun kirby super star and mario world
