I use a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. It does the job for all of the systems I have on Retroarch.

Picture of my controller!

I use the atari modern controller for the Atari VCS. It has no drift or any loss in quality after over a year of usage. It’s super clicky and feels cheap but is a pretty responsive controller. Most emulators map it automatically very well.

It’s prone to smudging though. Also the charger port has a notch which makes it so you can only use the atari charging cable, nothing a dremel didn’t fix ;)
