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.

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?

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.

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 shocked 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.

Yeah, and making the Share button difficult to hit, with a share screen that is slow to respond, was a big whiff.
