@s804 Wii U GamePad.

It's comfortable. It has motion controls, NFC and IR. The only thing that sucks is the battery life, but then again DS4 and DS5 battery life is shit as well.

It looks so bulky and unwieldy, and at first glance it seems like it takes some getting used to with the analog sticks being at the top.

But I'll agree as a Wii U owner that the thing is just so comfortable to use. It's much lighter than it looks too, and I was able to adapt to the analog stick placement immediately, as if I had always been using it.

Speaking of the battery, mine barely holds a charge anymore. I wouldn't mind doing something about that.

@Lippy @s804 thankfully it is user replaceable.

Mine is alrightish, it still lasts a few hours if it gets fully charged, and I don't have the higher capacity battery installed
