I guess it doesn't count because it's not a console controller, but the Sega Nomad has the best D-pad in the universe.

Lies! It's amazing.


Best PCE pad overall is probably the Avenue 3.

The Avenue Pad 6 is awesome too, but the Avenue 3 wins because of the button placement. If a game uses Run or Select, like Dracula X item crash, Avenue 3 rules over all!  If you play those games on an Avenue 6, I think the Run and Select buttons are too far to quickly reach with your right thumb. Therefore, the Avenue 3 (or standard pad) is better. Of course for 6 buttons games, the Avenue 6 rocks.


My scientific grading system:

Games that only use I and II buttons:
 Avenue 6 = Avenue 3  > Standard pad
Games that also use Run or Select buttons:
 Avenue 3 > Standard pad > Avenue 6

I really like the master system controller too.  The D-Pad is really weird, but surprisingly nice.  I use it on Atari 2600

My experience with the Master System controller was a bit tainted. I have a system with Hang-On, where you shift up or down using the D-pad. Since the controller has loose diagonals, I found that I often shifted unintentionally. I'm sure using different controller would have helped, but I wasn't buying a lot of accessories in 1988. Actually, I did buy the backwards joystick... which was some kind of cruel joke.

My favorite controllers are the Hori Fighting Commander PC, Saturn Japanese version, and Genesis 6 button.The controllers that are absolute garbage are the Dreamcast, GameCube,and N64 for it's thumbstick issue. I have had my Dreamcast since launch and play it the least due to it's controller clunkiness.

The Nomad really has the most comfortable and easy to use d-pad.  You must've had a busted console.  I don't know anyone that thinks the Saturn d-pad is great and the Nomad d-pad is big dix in hell.  Haha...well except you tats.
