There’s no shortage of great games to play no matter what platform you’re on, but let’s face it: if you’re not playing with an equally great controller, the experience can be lacking. You can be presented with great graphics and well-designed gameplay, but if the only way you interact with those offerings doesn’t feel good, the entire experience can be ruined. Fortunately, we’ve been graced with dozens of fantastic options for video game controllers across the generations. So we’ve taken the 10 best and compiled them into a handy list.
A quick note, though: we decided that gaming peripherals, such as keyboard and mouse, Donkey Kong Bongos, and even our wonderful plastic instruments didn’t exactly fit in this category, so we’re keeping it specifically to at-home video game console controllers. Apologies in advance to the Guitar Hero X-plorer.
Here are our picks for the top 10 video game controllers.
Love it or hate it, the Wii Remote had a massive impact on the industry, and proved just how much fun it could be from day one. At a time when game controllers would change minimally from one generation to the next, the designers at Nintendo didn’t just upend the tea table, they literally borrowed the design of the classic TV remote sitting on it. ...
While Nintendo’s NES controller deserves all the credit for ushering in the more modern gamepad revolution, the rounded, more ergonomic Super Famicom (SNES) controller took everything that worked before and improved it. Gunpei Yokoi’s groundbreaking Game & Watch/NES D-Pad design returned alongside the familiar Select and Start buttons, but it was t...
Nintendo is known for its outside-the-box approach to controllers, and that’s already been shown on this list. And while not every attempt has been a success, Nintendo’s first attempt at a wireless controller became an instant classic. The WaveBird for the Nintendo GameCube introduced us to a low-latency wireless controller that didn't try to be mo...
Microsoft leveled up its controller game in a hurry in the early Xbox days. The bulky, cult-classic "Duke" quickly gave way to the much-better Controller S for the original Xbox, but the beloved form that has become the Xbox gold standard arrived in 2005 alongside the Xbox 360. The 360 gamepad became an instantly iconic controller, both comfortable...
Nintendo is no stranger to making risky plays with its hardware, with a history of standard controllers for every console dramatically differing from not just the competition but one generation to the next. To make up for that, Pro Controllers have, over the years, been the go-to for offering a similar experience to Xbox and PlayStation gamepads. T...
The newest PlayStation controller may be young, but it's already shown the promise and potential of its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in just a few months. And that's on top of being one of the most comfortable Sony controllers to ever hold. While not a massive departure in form from the DualShock 4, the textured grip and less obtrusive lig...
From an accessibility standpoint, nothing compares to the Xbox Adaptive Controller. With the capability to customize the position of every input through varying peripherals, the XAC provides physically disabled gamers with a level of independence that is unrivaled with standard controllers. Each button or joystick, such as those found in the Logite...
Before we get to the final three, we wanted to take a minute to recognize what may not be the "best" controllers ever, but are definitely some of our favorites. First up is The Duke for the original Xbox, which may not have been the most comfortable or best-looking controller around, but its big, beefy size has earned it love from the community we share. There's the "Taste the Pain" PS1 controller that was released alongside Wu Tang: Shaolin Style. Thankfully it wasn't flavored or anything, it was, just, like, objectively the coolest design ever - even if it played like trash.
There’s of course the cutest controller, or the most cursed depending on your point of view, the Dragon Quest Slime controller by HORI. One of the *wildest* designs around, though, is undoubtedly that time Capcom said "What if we took the GameCube controller and made it a CHAINSAW" for Resident Evil 4. And who could forget the most underrated design of Nyko's AirFlow for the GameCube, which had a *built-in air conditioner* to keep your palms from getting sweaty. Anyways, there are plenty of other great controllers out there, but these next three are our top picks.
Fourth time's the charm? The DualShock 4 is the culmination – and undoubtedly the best – iteration of PlayStation's long-running controller family. After the wonky PS3 switch to the SixAxis and then quickly back to the DualShock 3, the fourth-generation controller nailed it right from the start. With a better heft and grip, the DualShock 4 got away...
