I find that the original xbox controller is far superior to the GC controller for use as a boat anchor

I liked the Duke. Much more versatile button layout, and hey, I have large hands - it wasn't a problem at all.

I really enjoyed the Xbox controller. I hated the Z button, and the c-stick on the Gamecube controller.

Gamecube is the best controller I've ever used. A little short on buttons, but the most comfortable, durable and satisfying.

Hmm i gotta say GC controller just due to the fact that my dog chewed on my original xbox left analog stick haha. But really the gamecube controllers really fit my hand and i thought the layout was really great especially for SSBM.

The Xbox controller that released with the console or the Controller S? I think the Controller S is far superior to the Gamecube controller, which is just an obtuse mess in my opinion. Just a wonky fit with weird buttons.

The GameCube controller really just molded into you hands. The 360 controller imo does that now so. But anyway the original Xbox controller kinda sucked.

The Gamecube controller has the same weird analog as the N64, a stupid pseudo-analog for the right analog.....some of the weirdest shaped joysticks I've ever felt, strange shoulder buttons, obtuse face buttons, the strangest D-pad ever, and it was all rounded off nicely with a weird shape. Why are you guys praising it like it was the best controller ever? I literally played Resident Evil 4 for about 20 seconds before I put the controller down.

I know I'm in the minority, but I kinda liked the original XBOX controller, the GC one just felt too airy, not enough substance, maybe it was just too light for me.

i'm all about comfort when it comes to controllers so i prefer both of those over the sony controller. but from those two, the GC one is more comfortable so i'll go with that.

Wouldn't the 360 controller scheme be more perfect if the right stick switched places with the a,b,x,y buttons? If it feels good on the left stick wouldn't it feel good on the right?

The original Xbox controller has better sticks, triggers, and button layout, but is uncomfortable to hold.
