I've been playing my GameCube lately. The small D pad and awkward Z button prevent it from being the best.

The Switch Pro is pretty great. NES Max is an old favorite. The Duke is criminally underrated. The 6-button Genesis / Saturn was spot on too.

No doubt. It is a thing of beauty

Yup. The battery sucks on my PS4 version though. I wish they offered a wired 1st party controller.

I can't see this image at my work computer. What is it?

DualShock

The Switch Pro controller, Wavebird, or Dual Shock 4 are my favorites.

Least favorite would be the original XBOX Controller (The Duke) and the Wii U Gamepad.

Yup. The battery sucks on my PS4 version though. I wish they offered a wired 1st party controller.

The new model (with the light sliver on the front) gets significantly better battery life than the launch version, but I agree. Even with the light bar on dim it still only lasts 5 hours or so.

I just leave mine plugged in as I play most the time.

How close do you sit the TV? Or do you plug it into something else?

My gaming chair is about 6 ft. from the TV in the living room.

Have not tried a Switch or Gamecube, but I would be dualshocked if their controllers beat the perfect ergonomics and overall size of the Dual Shock 4.

Switch Pro is slightly better. Both controllers have hard to hit options/start buttons though.

I loathe this controller and always have. Too small for my hands, feels flimsy. The PS4 controller is excellent, but all the previous PS controllers were trash.
