Control pads.

[Beardy]

Be it a keyboard, a joystick, a motion sensor or whatever... what's your favourite control method for games?

[Nuudoru]

FPS/RTS/Sim - Keyboard and mouse

Pad with everything else I care about.

[Beardy]

I prefer a SNES pad to play Cannon Fodder even though a mouse is objectively better.

The main reason I got an Xbox instead of a PS is because of the control pad. Any PS3 owners out there who think the control pad is awful?

RTS I need a keyboard and mouse but as for everything else, going for the controller. (even on my computer bought a wired Xbox 360 controller to plug into my comp.)

What controller?

[Nuudoru]

I forgot to say that I use arcade sticks for fighting games. Oddly enough I don't use them for arcade games..

I do miss joysticks as a default.

Not forgetting handhelds. Loco Roco was maybe one of the best games ever.

What sticks do you have?

I love the GameCube and Xbox 360 controller. N64 was ....strange but I liked it and the Wii feels great. I think controllers depends on the game you play. For Fighting games and some arcade games (Like Metal Slug and TrialsHD/EVO) I use a fight stick. For hard core Racing games I do enjoy using the wheel (though the last one I owned was for PS1) and I do have a lot of fun with the Guitar Hero controller. FPS works well on Keyboard and Wii. RTS works great with Keyboard.

Kinect....can [expletive deleted] off.

FPS-RTS-MMO-RPG: Mouse&Keyboard
Fighter: Gamecube Controller (I own a converter for PC)
Retro Arcade: Joystick

Anything else doesn't really matter. As long as it's not those gimmicky controls that ruin zelda games.

I love the really light iMac keyboard for PC games, it's small and efficient with great battery life, and it only weighs like 1.5 lbs. Works great for FPS's and RPGs

I dunno dude. I always thought it was quite fun to spend 5 minutes trying to slash either vertically or horizontally to kill a measly Deku Baba.

Xbox controller is the best apart from the d-pad, only at a tie with Gamecube in my opinion.

But Sony's controller is just eugh, it's designed for the Japanese I assume, it's way to wide, and the distance between R1/2 and sticks is quite a lot, also dem convex triggers.

Dreamcast was good too, bit large, but I got over it.

GUUUUUUH IT MAKES ME SO MAD!

Gamecube controller (wavebird) is the best for anything, but shooters, than the ps2 controller, if it was wireless. The wii controller felt really good holding normally with a nunchuck, but the lack of buttons is disappointing.
