I’m aware there’s already a thread called this, but that’s about ball vs bat sticks. That’s a big debate in itself, but the debate I want here is about how we prefer our sticks to FEEL. There’s no right answer, so stay a while and have fun!
 
The N64/GameCube sticks are legendary. I would like to try the Neo Geo Pocket sometime.
 
While I don't think the pad sticks are "the best feeling - most accurate" sticks, I think they're a really cool way to reduce the footprint of older portable devices that I think we've lost in the age of the steam deck and ROG Ally and I wouldn't mind if a new portable came out that retained this older design.

You haven't truly played video games until you've experience the condom-free Atari skeleton
 
There is something very satisfying to the notched controller, I think is the tiny clack-clack-clack noise it makes when you move it around.

Arcade sticks also feel stupidly amazing, I like the force it needs lol
