I hear lots of conflict on this one. For me there is no other controller that handles as smooth as the 360. Your thoughts?
In order:
1. N64/GC
2. Dualshock brand
3. 360
4. DC
5. SNES
6. Duke
7. Genesis 3-button
Honestly though, after you played with the SNES controller, the main button layout was imprinted on you for life. Every controller since has kept the face button diamond layout from that controller. From discussions I've seen online it's usually a three way dance among 360, Dualshock, and GC/Wavebird.
