Unpopular opinion, but the GCN controller is so comfy, the bumpers fit so well in my fingers
I loved my Wavebird. It was so comfortable, and the wireless worked really well. It was a bit chunky, but I didn’t care.
How Is this unpopular ?!
I was a Ps guy at the time, but my friend had the GC. As soon as I tried the controller I felt in love with it. To this day I still think that GC controller is the most ergonomic controller I’ve ever held.Beat me to it. Modern controllers are fine, but the art of controller design peaked with the GameCube.
Everyone in this thread gets an upvote. It wasn’t until a few years ago when I soft modded my Wii to start playing GameCube games that I held the controller again. Damn! That is such a comfortable controller. It’s still my favourite of all of them.
Unpopular? That’s crazy talk!
I mean, what other controller could you buy new almost twenty years later?
Oh lord yes the GameCube controller is pure sex. Only way to play smash :) Amongst all other attributes people have mentioned, love the walls of the analog stick, it feels so much better not having a smooth smooshy full globe of movement, I want to smash that shit in a direction and feel hard contact
I have to agree, in terms of ergonomics I find the GCN controller to be the best
The ABXY layout was really nice. With the modern standard, there is often some mix up as to which button is “accept” and which is “cancel”. The GameCube controller, with its big Mashable A button left nothing to interpretation. The X and Y buttons were comfortably placed as well.
Definitely not “unpopular”. I agree 100%; GCN controller has been the best for a good 22+ years, somehow.
It’s so true for me that I have Gamecube controllers for Wii U and Nintendo Switch. Recently I bought a Joycon-like that mimics the GC controller. It’s awesome!
I still use a dualshock 3, but I can settle for a dualshock 4. They’re comfortable to hold, and the bumpers are easy to press, unlike clicky ass xbox bumpers.
@s804 Wii U GamePad.
It’s comfortable. It has motion controls, NFC and IR. The only thing that sucks is the battery life, but then again DS4 and DS5 battery life is shit as well.
For me my Switch Pro Controller and Xbox. Guess it’s mode about the layout for me. I really don’t like the Playstation layout especially for the sticks. That one causes my hand to just hurt.
I also prefer the asymmetrical stick layout. The King Kong Pro 2 is probably my favorite controller at the moment. It feels almost identical to a Series X controller, but with gyro, hall sensor sticks, and other features. Which is great because Xbox controllers are the most comfortable to me, but all the fancy features other controllers offer make it a little behind the curve.
If they ever add gyro controls to Xbox, that will likely be my favorite.
I honestly love the xenoblade switch pro controller. The better d-pad from the xenoblade one makes a difference to me, and the controller fits in my hand very nicely.
8bitdo controllers are my favs for now, but I also loved the Nintendo 64 controller, but probably mostly because I was a kid and loved games.
Wii mote + mario kart wheel for sure
Saturn controller hands down. The d-pad is the best ever and the overall layout is great for fighting games / anything 2d.
In more recent memories though, the Dualsense (Edge) would be my favourite.
I’ll answer your question indirectly. I like a lot of controllers. I have large hands so the original Xbox controllers actually were the perfect size for me. I like the features of the PS5 controllers with the variable trigger pressure. So, if I could get some combination of that, I’d be really happy.
I loved “the duke” controller. Big hand friendly controller.
I used to have a group of friends that referred to me as “bear paws.”
I like the gamecube controller the best for using. though because I’m a weirdo who likes the weirdest stuff, I’m super fond of the n64 controller.
