Which Xbox controller do you guys think is the best and why.

I like the S controller. The original controllers were just way too big.

If you're a midget....

I think the S-controller blows. I cant even hit the Black and white buttons...

I like the Original. Though, I will commend Microsoft for releasing two different types of controllers...eventhough they took a while for the S-Type. No big deal to me, though...I strongly prefer the Original...best damn controller ever created, IMO...and most comfortable, too.

I like them both the same. I own both. And both are really good controllers.

I dunno... I like them both, have both, use both.

The original is actually very comforitable, but the S-type is the one im more used to. I like the analog on the original alot though...

I'm about 5'8 so I'm far from a midget but the S controller feels so much better to me. The original just seems awkward. I recall a poll done by XBOX.com I think and about %70 preferred the S type too. Don't the new units come with only an S or the original?

I like both and can play well with both. The only thing I have against the original is the oval shape of the buttons. Once I got the S the oval shape felt a bit weird. Still they are both great, well laid out, comfortable controllers.

The original is definitely the best. I could not own them both and use them both because after being accustomed to the original I jam wrong areas and just feel really uncomfortable with the S controller. I do however wish Original controllers would come up with different colors. Thatd a been sweet. They should invert colors and make controllers. Id have two original and two inverted originals. Sa...WEeeet! :p

Yes. I found out today for sure and they do not make the original larger controller anymore. S controllers are the only types that come with the XBOX now. They were voted out by users.

I use both, and I used to be a die hard big controller man... But I would have to say that the small controller is by far my favorite of the two and the best controller Ive ever touched. :D

Ditto. I hate the damn S controller. The original is perfect, in my opinion...Everything about it just works well for me. :cheers: It's so stupid that they've stopped making the old ones. Moronic, if you ask me.

Hmmmm I'd best pick up another while supplies last. I like the feel of the thumbsticks much better on the duke.

I didn't like the big controller at all, not in the least, so I'm glad when I got my own Xbox it came with an S. Its perfect for my:

I haven't found a game where the black and white buttons were too far out of position for me.

So, *two thumbs up* for the S.

P.S The only thing I've noticed is that the green cables have started to disappear! I ahve a green S w/ black cord, blue w/ black cord, black w/ green, and black w/ black. Those green cords are the ****!!!

I have 2 duke controllers, 1 American S-type, 1 Japanese S-Type, and a Intec programmable S-Type which is a bit smaller than a s-type.
I like the Japanese S-Type. The B and W buttons are raised a bit more than the US controller, and so are the face buttons. The Intec is too small, but perfect for my wife. I'll still use the Duke if I have friends over, but if it came down to it, I prefer the Japanese controller. Looks the same except the center jewel is a light green plastic disk, and the buttons are clear plastic with the color inlayed on the bottoms of the buttons.
The Dukes are also handy if you want to swing it around your head like a bolo and knock someone out.

I like the S controller because the analog sticks have better grip. Doesnt matter to me, both are fine.

Duke
01-17-2004, 11:11 AM
The Duke owns the S. I can't stand that one.

I've got two, one's only for when people come over who prefer it, and the other's still in the box my second xbox came in.

Whenever I've had to buy a new one, I have to explain at least 3 times that I want the large one. Nobody believes me.

I like the triggers and buttons on japanesse controller S, in my opinion the triggers have a lighter, better feel. I own two large controllers and two type S... this allow people with either preference to play with me... guess it doessnt matter near as much anymore.... all my friends own xboxs now and can bring their own controllers. :)

I have 4 original controllers. I can't believe that they are stopping the production of the original controller. Now I can't buy replacements in case my first 4 crap out!:cry: Hopefully Microsoft will still be able to repair any controller.

I guess I'm going with S because I'm just more used to it then I am the original. I do want try the Logitech wireless one, but that ain't gonna happen until I get the extra cash to spend on it (probably in like a month or two).

Has anyone tried out that new 'Pheonix' controller? I was it at my work (blockbuster) and it came in lots of colors, and felt pretty heavy...and what about a wireless Pelican...are these good, or should I get logitech?

I used the original (large) controller for ever.. didn't want to try something else and get used to it.. until my dog chewed up the cord in 5 places.. so I went and bought a S-type.. I hated it at first it felt like I had to move my thumb back so far to hit the white/black buttons.. but im so used to it now.. and i like it better

I got to go with the S. I like the size of the "Duke" but the S controller has a better d-pad, and the black/white buttons aren't so far from the others.

About the regular controller:

I also like the fact i can press the black & white buttons with my index finger. That saves me the trouble of having to move my thumb off the right analog.

The phoenix is a pretty good controller, I like it better than the S.
And at BestBuy for 20 bux, it's a great deal!
The white and black buttons are better positioned and the buttons are easier to press than on the Original Microsoft.
It feels only slightly larger than the S.
No response because not many have tried the Phoenix.
:cool:

And what is even worse is that some tool in Development said ' hey, let's screw with everyone and switch around the white and black buttons' Yea...good move http://www.xboxaddict.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif Morons!! I hate the S controller and have 5 of the originals - I've wore through 3 already actually, so I had to stock up, due to excessive use of the white button on GR :)
