Absolutely

Dualshock for me. The gamecube's triggers are too small(my fingers overlap them to the middle part where the cord come out of) and the Z-trigger is in a rediculous spot. and the d-pad is terrible. I love the layout of the DS2 with the d-pad above the analog sticks and the 4-triggers.

PS2 has the best layout
GC is most comfortable
XBox is the most hugiganticnormous

The Cube's controllers are the best ever. Wavebird rocks.

Agree with the wavebird. It is just perfect.

Personal preference here, but I think the Dual Shock is perfect. It feels comfortable in my hands. Dispite having the most buttons of any controller, they're all logically placed and easily differentated. The two analog sticks, while close together ,are easier for me to manipulate than the off-center ones on the Controller-S. The D-pad is easier to use than either of the other controllers for me. I still find the set-up much easier to use for a game like SSX Tricky (which I have for the PS2) than the much less intuitive set-up on the Controller S for SSX 3 (which I have for the Xbox).

That said, I like the analog triggers on the controller S for racing games. I never felt like I got enough analog reponse from the PS2 buttons.

NES.

Just the right amount of buttons. Nuff said.

I love my wavebirds, have 4 of them.

For me, the Dual Shock 2 is probably best, and Wavebird a close second.

Xbox S - best controller I've ever used.

Xbox S.

I would make love to my Wavebird if I could.

Well, you should check out the controller S. It has two slots, if that's what you're into. Freak.

Just got my Xbox recently and I like the new S controllers better than I do my GC or N64. They just seem easier to hold and dont bother my hands when playing for hours.

I agree, compared to Xbox controllers, PS2 and GC controllers feel like they are cheap toys that break easily (I know the PS2 ones do). I've never been able to get into the GC controller at all, it looks like Fischer Price designed it, and the buttons are such goofy shapes, like lima beans. It just doesn't feel like a good controller to me, I'm surprised how many people rate it the best. The PS2 controller is so small and the buttons are crammed together, when I play my Xbox for a few days and go back to PS2 I have a hard time getting used to the controllers. The only thing I think PS2's controllers have on the Xbox's are the two trigger buttons on each side. If the Xbox had those you wouldn't need the black and white buttons.

Finally, I like the original large Xbox controllers, but the S controller is very nice as well. For me, the Xbox controller feels like a Mercedes or Lexus, the quality, reliability, and intelligent design are instantly noticeable, it feels like they will never break, and the extra long cord and breakaway cord is a godsend.

If you wear an XL glove, you will probably like the first XBox controller or the Sega Genesis controller for that matter (one of the worst feeling controllers in my opinion)

I like the GC controller except for the Z-button and the 4-button layout. I don't care for a main, centered button. My thumb feels better resting between the 4, not on one.

PS2 dual shock 2 is the most functionable. The analog sticks and analog buttons could use some work.

XBox S wins in my opinion. I'm glad they redesigned the controller. I know Japan's controllers are purposely made smaller for their small-handed market, but much praise to Microsoft for realizing us Americans aren't all behemoths.

While I still love my PS2 dual shock controller, the Xbox S controller has replaced it as my favorite. Fits great in the hands and the button lay-out is well placed. You can't go wrong with either but the Xbox S is the way to go, imho.

Xbox S is my favorite. Wavebird is a very close second, and might be first if it wasn't for that stupid Z button placement.

I actually hated the look of it when it first came out. The A button being so big in comparison, etc. and the others being different sizes. However, on most games, you do seem to use one button more than others (the A) and it really does feel intuitive to me. I would much rather play TOny Hawk games with this controller than the others.
