There's been many different designs over the past few decades, some good, and some.. err.. well.. ?

Which designs have been your favourite, whether it's down to comfort or functionality?
 
Probably Xbox One honestly. Always loved the PS controllers but once I got a 360 controller for my PC I just realized how much better it fit my hand - the wireless One is a massive improvement over the wireless 360 because there's no massive battery pack on the back of it squashing your fingers.

Xbox have always had such comfortable controllers. More so than the PlayStation. I never really liked their feel.

Historically it's been the reverse for me where I found the Xbox controllers too clunky and the Playstation ones fit my hand better. I believe this is because my hands are small! The latest Xbox generations' controllers are designed much better in my opinion. We actually no longer own a Playstation and only have the Xbox One.
 
I don't really have enough experience with Xbox controllers beyond the X360, but found that controller to be much more comfortable than the PS3..

The PS4 and PS5 controllers I've found pretty comfortable though to be honest, thankfully a vast improvement! ?
 
Having used both the Series X and the PS5 one, I like the PS5 one a lot and that's just based on the appearance and the size of it. The Series X controller just feels a bit weird and cheap for some reason. Not a fan of the horizontal stick layout either but that may be because I'm used to the DualShock and DualSense.
 
For me, it's definitely the Xbox 360 controller for Windows. Need another one as I can't find my off-brand one since we moved. lol
