I really hate Xbox, it's a disgrace for me coz it's not normal like the PS controllers, simple, but easy to handle, not like the Xbox 360 controller, it's freaking huge and the R1 and L1 buttons for it are hard to press... and the Select button, along with the Xbox 360 and the Start buttons are too close which sometimes causes me to 'misclick' the right buttons for whenever I played GH in my classmate's house... ~_~ really a disappointment...

I voted Wii and N64 though i would have also voted the ORIGINAL XBox too. I love the new 360 controller and the Controller S was pretty good but the original was horrible (especially if ur not used to it). The wii is cool as a controller the remote is pretty crappy IMO. As for the N64 i didnt like the D-Pad and the Stick wore out too easy and became far too loose to use. IMO the 360 captured a much more comfortable "controller/trigger/stick layout.

I've never really disliked any controls, but looking back, I don't think that the N64 one was good period... the main joystick on it was essentially on a different handle, which made games that used the directional pad difficult... Much easier to have the dual-joystick pad that most controllers today use...

the original xbox controller is just absolutely ugly with the fat logo right in the middle of it. its good that microsoft finally realized how stupid it looked and got rid of it on the 360 controller.

XBox Original was the worst. N64 was also pretty big, but somewhat easy to hold while Xbox hurt your hand.Wii's is somewhat difficult, but it's intuitive and somewhat more fun than the others, I'll give 'em that.

I like the idea for the wii controllers but its horrible for shooting games because you have to hold your arm up all day to point at the screen. It's really tiring.

the xbox controller is the best in terms of ergonomics. i dont know why people dont like it, besides it's downfall in fighting games it rocks. I would say the n64 had the worst controller. the system had great games but the controller was cumbersome to play with

Its hard comparing the old with the new, because of course the controllers got better with time. BUT I picked Sega, cause I used to get the mean cramps with that controller!

The N64 controller was a ridiculous and convoluted design. You try sticking one in your coat pocket as you go to a friend's house. It just screams "Dork".

Of the ones listed, the Nintendo 64 controller is the worst. It isn't a problem if you only need to use the Joystick or the D-pad to play the game, but when you switch between the two, it can get rather annoying, since you need to change your grip on the controller.

the nintendo 64 controller was the biggest piece of crap ever. the c buttons were stupid and the fact they tried to make them usable on first peron shooters was lame. the z button on the back was the only good thing about it, it was kind of liek the first trigger button. also the joystick itself and the location were obsurd.

how can you hate on the xbox controller? besides the duke which was discontinued anyway, the xbox/360 controller is comfortable to use for long periods of time and the buttons are easlily reached. my only gripe is with the original, the start and back button were in a crappy place.
