MMOpinion | Your Favorite Controller

In honor of Nicholas' recent article about the Six of the Most Bizarre Controllers Ever Devised, I decided it would be great to ask YOU, what YOU think about gaming controllers.

Now I've always been a fan of the Xbox controller.  Fits quite nicely in the hand, has enough buttons to do pretty much everything you'd need to in a game, super portable and it just makes sense.  Now that's not to say I'm not a fan of a classic keyboard and mouse combo.  I myself don't have any fancy new keyboard or mouse from Razer, although I could probably be convinced pretty easily to make the investment.

But what about you friends.  Which have been your most favorite controllers ever?  Do you prefer a certain controller for a certain game?  If you could design your own controller, what might it look like?
