They used to have a Controller of the year award at multiple web sites and gaming magazines, and every year the Dual Shock won. They stopped around 2004-2005ish, right before this gen started.

I would have to agree, the Dual Shock design is pretty great. I do like the GC and 360 controllers as well.

The Wii's controllers and extensions are odd...When we look at the $40 Wii Mote, do you add the $20 nunchuck, $20 Classic controller and $20Motion Plus to the controller?

Although that makes the controller Wii Complete Controller $100, I suppose that might be considered win.

The Wii's Complete Controller is actually pretty pricey when you do the math. Anyone with a complete Wii can actually afford a 360 and PS3, if they really thought about it.

If we're talking about most comfortable, I'll have to go with the 360 controller otherwise the Dual Shock 3 overall simply becuase it's more responsive and offers more features.

Am I the only one that absolutely hated the GC controller? I seem to like the DC controller, the 360 is a close second and when I was younger I liked the Dualshock controllers.

Am I the only one who thinks the gamecube controller was garbage? I didn't hate it, but it isn't any where near my top ten controllers. I'd say the DS2 is the best. :D

Wii Remote with Nunchuk is the most comfortable controller. I love the Nunchuk, the Wii remote just fits in your hand, and you can seperate your hands which is acctually pretty cool! The only problems is it has a very limited amount of buttons!

360, the S-pad for original xbox, and Dreamcast one were my favourites. Dual shock 2 was also very good (if they only replace arrows with analog stick it would be great). I dont like Gamecube pad at all. I dont feel comfortable with PS3 one also (for me it should be heavier, sticks and triggers weird)

Why am I seeing so many answers saying they loved the gamecube controller? Is it just becase people are sick of the Wii controller or something and miss the old days of Nintendo?

Actually it doesn't matter how big your hands are. The black and white buttons were in the worst place imaginable.

It's a tie between Playstation (DualShock) and Xbox 360. If only the thumbsticks, directional pad, and triggers of the original Xbox were grafted onto a DualShock controller, then we'd have the perfect controller. Having a USB plug at the end of the wire would also be nice.

Best overall comfort-symetry-design = Xbox 360

However, the Gamecube pad has the BEST Analog Sticks - very precise, sensitive, and feel (better grip, imo)

It was just a really well-designed pad. The only weak link was the c-stick, and that wasn't an issue most of the time.

I guess what i'm trying too say is that it's nothing really new. Most controllers have adopted this layout off other controllers.

i was just reading your sig and i think i can solve your problem. people put duh at the end of thier sentance because they are trying humorous sarcasm, as in like you said, duh you should know the answer is Uncharted. the problem with that is, Sarcasm doesnt translate well through text.. so not everyone has an attitude problem or a big head, its just hard to convey emotions with typing duh! i kid i kid, now if your sig was a huge attempt at sarcasm then i wouldnt know cause its hard to convey sarcasm through text lol. /sarcasm /sarcasm

It's kinda funny how the D-pad actually keeps both the 360/Gamecube controller from being the best controller of all time in my eyes. I guess I'll go with the DualShock 2 Analog controller.
