Of those mentioned I'd go with the N64 controller. It was a little unwieldy at times. But this list is far from complete. By far and away the worst controllers of all time were the Atari 7800 which was shaped like a lopsided joystick with two buttons on the side of it, or the Magnavox Odessy which was like an Etch-A-Sketch but sideways. The Panasonic CDi was pretty much a tv remote with some directional buttons slapped in. Or the Colecovision which is similar with a 9 digit number pad and a joystick on top. All of these were fairly heinous, and make the ones on the list look like joys for the fingers.

My favorite controller has got to be the 360's, because it just feels good in your hands and it's easy to get the hang of

Wii's controller is so fail. I can't even begin to talk about it. It's just depressing.

I love Nintendo 64 to death, but the controller was painful and inefficient. I had a MadCatz brand N64 controller that was laid out more like a Playstation controller and I used that instead.

i prefer the wii controller (with nunchuk) coz its light and more ergonomic. i also like the old school playstation controller that didn't have dualshock.by far the worst is nearly every controller with two thumbsticks. it hurt my poor little hands. at every chance i could, i used the d-pad.the ugliest i have ever seen was this crappy as controller my sister got for the PSone. It was like holding a brick, with like 15 different option buttons across it. It was good and it worked excellently, but it definitely was ugly and heavy.controllers should feel light and natural. otherwise you wont survive the arthiritis!
Should I feel bad if I want everything to become ice cream?

I absolutely adore both the Ps1/2/3 controllers and the snes controller. The Wii controller is alright, but xbox/360, n64 and gamecube controllers were/are just weird

I voted for the Wii controller. Personally I love the layout and the way it feels, but so many game companies just don't know how to use it. So you end up with games with horrible controls that just don't work. Though when a company gets it right, I prefer to my PS2/3 controllers.

Wii, NES, N64. Stop trying to be so unique dammit!Although Wii would probably be epic with something that was intended for motion control. I keep buggin'em to port Mount&Blade to Wii. Some day, SOME DAY!The 64 I actually liked, but the retarded control scheme most companies used (Z over L) made it absolutely painful to use for anyone with hands like a bear.Z should have been for like special moves or specific realtime event sequences.

I dislike the wii controller because sometimes you have to play games with it sideways and its to wide and far to reach the buttons. plus its remote control shaped.

it's a tossup between the N64 controller and the wiimote. i have no idea how people managed to use those N64 forks. what was nintendo thinking putting the analog stick in the middle of the controller and forcing you to change hand position to reach the L button?as for the wiimote, i think its pathetic that even some of the newer wii games still work better with the gamecube controller than the wiimote. for a next gen console whose main selling point was revolutionary controls, i don't see what's revolutionary about using a last gen controller.

I have never liked Xboxs layout at all. Probably one of the most succeeded of all time in my book.

the original xbox controller was pretty difficult to use. The 360 one is better but I still don't like it that much.

I like the SNES controller, and hate the N64 and PS's layout.
