What's the best and worst console controller?

[Twilight_guy]

Best: don't know. I like the PS3 controller and my old gamecube controllers though.

Worst:

Seriously, it looks cool but how the heck is that supposed to be comfortable?

Best: Sega Saturn for the D-pad, PS2 for analog.

Worst: Those crazy NES controllers like the power glove,

The worst modern controller around have gotta be those PS2 clones that Logiteck and Saitek make for the PC. They can cost £30 - £35 and are cheap and tacky with d-pads that dont even work properlly. My current PS2 Clone by GameWare only cost me £16 and is a much better control pad.

Best: XBOX360 controller.
Worst: All dualshocks.
This is not a bash on the PS3, I just take issue with the way my thumbs bump into eachother all the time.

Best: Gamecube.
The feeling is absolutely flawless in my hands. I am very pleased that the Wii is compatible.

Worst:

Seriously? The thing is massive, the black and white buttons are awkwardly placed, and I can hardly get my hands around the damn thing.

Terrible design. Just awful.

Wired 360 controllers are my favourite, followed closely by Dualshock.
Of course, N64 controllers were terrible and must be my least favourite that I have ever used.

Worst:

Spoiler: Same image as above

I had this problem, but solved it by getting a mini version that was released. I don't know who made it but it was a godsend. Literally half the size of the regular and the black/white buttons were moved around a bit to make them easier to use.

Best: Gamecube.

Worst: Playstation 3 because the shoulder buttons are broken, 2 was way better.

Best: 360 Pad
It fits in my hand well, good weight, sticks have great tension (at least when they're new). Only downside is the sticks tend to get really loose or start to "stick" after 6-9 months of heavy usage. I go through about 1 a year playing CoD and fighting games.

Worst: Wiimote
It started the casual gaming motion control craze, something that has ruined Nintendo for me forever.
