Favorite Controller?
TristanLuigi:
Fairly simple, what is your favorite controller of all time for consoles? I'm not including keyboard and mouse here because it's kind of a given it will win the votes on a PC game forum.
Personally, I prefer the GCN controller. The face buttons are actually really accessible, the sticks, triggers, and D-Pad were all high quality, and the controller was very comfortable. The only issue is the Z button, which is kind of hard to push but isn't all that bad.

I prefer the Xbox 360 controller.

xbox 360 controller. I never liked the Gamecube controller. The C stick and D-pad seemed like they were tacked on and don't feel natural.
I'm probably going to like the Steambox controller when it comes out.

Xbox 360 controller's great but the D-Pad is really stuffty and the controller feels a bit too heavy. I actually prefer the GCN's "weird" face buttons. I agree that the C-stick was not very accessible, though.
Kingdaro:
The gamecube controller is literally the most comfortable controller ever made. Except I do agree with beachbum on the C stick and D-pad, though that pretty much applies for any controller that has a D-pad.
Otherwise, the controller feels like it was made to fit perfectly in my hand, and the buttons' positions, colors and shapes make them easily recognizable and usable without much thought, unlike other modern controller designs which put the buttons in a diamond.
