imo, I find the psx controllers hurt my hands after a while. I very much like the 360 controller though. It feels great and has all the buttons. I don't actually have a 360 nor do I really need one, I just like the usb controller :b

Despite my bias opinion on the psx controllers, something that should be mentioned is the PS4 controllers are backwards compatible with PS3 which I thought was pretty okay. Apparently they're nicer to hold, I haven't tried one yet. They're also apparently good for plugin'play for pc.

Gamecube controllers have always been the most comfortable. If the analogs clicked like buttons and there was a second Z button above L (like M or whatever it was on the strange GC controllers), I would be set.

Um.. reading the info on the power consumption, I'd like to guess that one usb hub would not be enough for 4 ngc controllers vibrating all at the same time. I'm probably wrong- I may have just missed something :o

Also- those lovely wireless Wavebird controllers. If the plugin hardware is all the same, they'd work just fine which is sweet.

When the motor initially turns it could pull 200ma or more but that is just a short bursts. If all controllers start at the same time ( technically impossible ) it could pull too much current. Once they are turning and the initial bust is done they may pull 100ma at max. One usb port at 500ma will take that. If 3 are turning ( 100 * 3 ) and one is starting ( 200 ) you still have enough current but just enough. My guess is that is why Nintendo did that. Since each controller data "poll" is done consecutively there is no way all controllers will turn motors at once. The way I make it work is with an internal hub. There is enough resistance in that hub to allow constant rumble for all 4 controllers. So again, Nintendo would not install a hub, I'm sure... as to why they did that, just to be on the safe side.
