Top 10 Best Controllers of All Time

Through all the calluses, stiff fingers and bouts of tendinitis, we chose our favorite video game controllers.

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.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH WHAT A BUNCH OF ****ING IDIOTS. 360 CONTROLLER #1? no way... Obviously this site... is a bucnh of ****ing 360 fanboys.. when everyone obviosuly knows the PS2 controller is the best.. its the most comfortable and can used to sort all cases in most games. Go learn something game daily... your a bunch of ****ing tards.

wow you guys are dumb, the PS3 controller is ****, they have no support for the triggers so your fingers slip, and the six axis is **** to, it's so hard. i mean it has alright graphics but you only get the full affect if you get an HD.. with the 360 it has amazing graphics without the HD..and with the HD its rocks your world....plus who can argue with xbox live....so any of you who thing the 360 controller is ****....you guys obviously haven't even used one

Are you kidding me? Are you rating the console or the controller here? This controller sucks, compared to previously mentioned ones.

its obvious they are biased 360 fanboys. every single lilttle "top 10" thing has the 360 number 1. to me, the 360 is a great console. the only reason i DIDNT get it was because it had the LEAST comfortable remote out of all the systems. so how the hell is it number 1?

I love this game system. I wish I still had it. It was actually my brothers, but I played Tetris Attack on it and that was my favorite game ever!! I miss it. Bring back Tetris Attack please!! ^_^

lol, the dual shock 3? now thats bull****, you mean the regular old Ps1 controller? The same one theve been peddling for years? Yea right it has those horrible R2 and L2 buttons that are unreachable, and that horrible battery life. If any PS controller were to be up there it should be the logitech wireless ps2 one, now that was comfort!!!! SF Third Strike never felt so good.
