The list from Cnet has some stiff competition including the Xbox 360 controller, the PS2 rumbler, the original NES controller, but which one took the number one position. You might be thinking that all modern controllers were developed from the original NES layout making that the greatest but you’d be wrong. Taking home the cake was the Xbox 360 controller. This is what the guys over there had to say about it:

“Did you expect the Wii? Sorry. It’s a brilliant piece of innovation, that’s not in question, but there simply aren’t enough games to judge it against the best controllers ever. The Xbox 360 pad has proven itself over a longer time and on a wider selection of titles — and it has its own claims to originality.

It’s not terribly pretty — it’s beige, for a start — but the Xbox 360’s pad is a winner on several counts. For starters, it was the first wireless pad to come as standard. Its comfy, solid design offers dual analogue joysticks and two analogue trigger buttons underneath.

There’s also a built-in jack for connecting a headset, so you can hear and talk to your n00b opponents. Can it be waved around like a magician’s wand? Hell no, but this is about serious man-gaming — there’s no time for moving your arms when your thumbs are tapping this fast.”

Check out the article over at Cnet to see the full list of top five controllers.
