In my opinion, the dreamcast controller was the best. Ingenious button placement, great way to integrate memory card and multiple expansion slots were great. The SNES controller gets a close second.

Hmm that is true, but i think that the xbox controller and me were ment to be. Especially in halo, and i dont been to bust. But i dont like the GC controller, i think its too unbalanced and it takes time getting used to. But you might say that about the xbox controller...

The XBOX controller is awful for Halo in comparison to the mouse and keyboard. Long live WASD.

I don't understand how anyone could have trouble with the GC controller. I don't understand how you can call it unbalanced, it's the most intuitively designed controller of the three and has the fewest buttons of the three. The only problem I have with it is the Z button. Not to mention that Gamecube has the only first party wireless controller.

Let's compare the three (well four) modern console controllers.











My opinions:

1. Sega Dreamcast- Fingers rest very naturally on this controller. The VMU slot is genius. Buttons are spaced very well, so none are out of reach. D-pad is slightly inaccurate, but it's managable.

2. Gamecube Wavebird- Shoulder buttons have the click effect, buttons are spaced well, each button has a different feel and color. Z button is a bit uncomfortable to use at first.

3. Playstation Dualshock- Dual analog sticks are nifty. Buttons are relatively well spaced. However, the layout doesn't force developers to conform to a certain standard, so button layout can drastically change from game to game.

4. Xbox S- Nicer feel in my hands because it's smaller. But there are too many buttons and the start and select are in an awkward spot.

5. Xbox original- The huge logo is useless, the controller is enormous, the excessive amount of buttons are weirdly shaped and hard to use for someone who is first learning the controller.
