Best Controller?

The PS2 was by far the best for me. No matter what game I played, the controls responded perfectly.

The Fat XBOX controller sucked. The S controller was a major improvement for me.

The Gamecube controller fits my hand nicely. Until I played games on it. Platform games rock on the GC controller. Any other game is next to impossible. Fighting games (i.e. Soul Calibur II) are extremely difficult to play because I had a tendency to jam on the humongous "A" button. First Person shooters were extremely difficult to play with the GC controller. The camera stick was too sensitive. The problem with the Gamecube controller was the buttons. The A button were three times larger than the the X and Y buttons. I can't count the times I pressed A instead of X. The L and R buttons on the side are difficult to wield. You have to push the button ALL the way in order to get a reaction. God forbid you played a game where you had to hold the shoulder button in conjuncture with another button for long periods of time. (i.e. Enter the Matrix, Spider Man 2). I hope the next controller is better.

yes infact i have used a gamecube controller before, tons of times.

the R and L buttons(ps2) push in enough...the cube pushes in too much to kno if it is all the way in, u hafto hear the click thing. why is it, that nintendo always makes mistakes, kid oriented games, bad button layout(and shoulder buttons), munny making decisions...the only thing theyre good at is the handheld.

and wat are dead zones?

The original X-box is the best 😄 i have really long fingers so 😄 its perfect then the crampt little controllers 😛

Type F x-box controller( F for fatty) has flaws. the buttons are to far away, and they are to angular. fingers slide off them, the aiming joystick in halo doesn't have enough of a divet to hold the thumb on it.

dead zones- as in when I play Killzone, and I either push to hard on the joystick, or not hard enough. dead zones where their is joystick insensitivity.

also, if you had truly played with a gamecube controller you would know the shoulder buttons don'tfully work the way you prescribe.

such as in luigi's mansion you push on the shoulder button for varying degrees of sensitivity. it's basicaly 2 buttons in 1.

or in mario sunshine. you get different water pressure from how hard/ how far you push the button. it's very easy to hit it. in mario kart double dash, you press it for a varying degree of power sliding. light sliding or heavy sliding.
it's not just a button. it has a range of sensitivity.

also, you complain about pushing A instead of X. you slide your thumb to the right to hit X. you can also hit it. I prefer to slide it, depending on the game. I hit it with the right half of my thumb.

the c stick is the gamecubes biggest flaw. pushable joysticks would be nice too.

C stick aint so bad actually, like in Super Mario Sunshine.

I doubt this is real, or a final design... but Sony had better not make something like that for PS3 😐

wtf?

It's a fake PS3 controller....

I just googled it 🙂

Ya well it looks like you did, man that looks horrible!

Are there two X buttons on that thing?

😂 looks like it... the people that faked it didn't even bother making a new symbol 😛

dumbasses.

anyways i think people that own a gamecube actually like that control...regardless of flaws, people like their own system 🙄

or maybe people who don't own one ignore it's strong points, and believe it's a piece of crap compared to their perfect in every single way savior of mankind Ps2 controller. 🙄

I at least acknowledge the controllers flaws. I know the C stick sucks, and the z button is a pain, and the joysticks don't push in, adn the D-pads stiff

on the X-box, the white/black are still annoying to hit, and the D pad is rather clicky, plus the triggers arent as sensative.

ps2, the d-pad is murder on the fingers in fighting games, the buttons are to flat, dead zones on the joysticks, and the R & L buttons don't push in enough.

😄 well the ps2 controller IS standard looking and good enough for the xbox to make a similar one, draco made a good point about the big a button

X-box making a similiar one?

What are you talking about?

The X-box controller is almost a direct rip from the dreamcast controller.
