What's your favourite mouse, pad, keyboard, touch screen, guitar, dance mat or lightgun? I will start us off with the wii remote - genius and doubles as a nes controller.

Depends on the device. For PC gaming particularly for MMOS it's the Razar Naga mouse. For console gaming it would be the DS line from Sony. The thing I like the most about the DS is how little it has changed over the years especially when you compare it to something like Nintendo controllers. Yeah they added stuff like the TouchPad but it's shape and button layout is still the same which adds to the familiarity. It's like putting on a old pair of shoes.

Anything that doesn't involve motion controls. I never owned a PlayStation in my life until Nintendo started fooling around with awful control schemes. I finally got fed up and bought myself a PS3. My PS3 library is larger than my Wii and Wii U library combined. Funny how Nintendo's innovative controls pushed away a lifelong Nintendo-only gamer and made him buy a rival console. Nicely done, Big N.

My game library ranges from Mario Kart to Call of Duty to Tales of Xillia to Diablo 3 to Forza. To me gaming is about having fun - not blindly supporting only one company while thumbing your nose at "the evil other systems."

I liked the N64 gamepad. Mainly because I was good at speed-strafing and circle-strafing in Goldeneye.

I was kind of the same, but I actually liked the motion controls. It was the shovelware, PS2 graphics and lack of 3rd party support that I didn't like. That's what drove me away from Nintendo.

For me the Dualshock 3, it gets lot of hate but I really like the thing is like a DualShock 2 but wireless...... the DualShock 4 is also good but I like the look of the DS3 better

My modded DualShock 4. I put a DualShock 3 style stick on the left and an concave stick on the right. It might look stupid but it's the best of both worlds in my opinion.

I also love the design of the Dreamcast controller. Single stick kills it's practicality in modern gaming, but MAN is that thing comfortable.

I always thought the buttons on the Dreamcast were really hard and sharp. Don't get me wrong, it's probably my favourite console of all time, and the layout of the controller definitely inspired the Xbox - but I wouldn't describe it as 'comfortable'. XD

Hmm that is an idea I can use to fix my busted sticks on my PS4 controllers. How hard was that for you to do?

Speaking of the Dreamcast I loved the VMU (Visual Memory Unit) compared to all of the other memory cards back in the day.
I liked how there were mini games kind of like today's apps for mobile phones that let you level up on the go. That and some games used it when plugged into the controller.

Some of the mini games also let you play multiplayer by connecting to VMU's together.

I remember that as well. Couldn't you hatch eggs on sonic adventure? I also loved the amstrad cpc6128 keyboard it was really chunky and in all the years of owning it the keys all worked perfectly.
