My grudge with the 360 controllers is their digital cross : the cheap, nearly useless kind, the one that keeps confusing right for up or down. And Microsoft used the same button color scheme as Sony but they jumbled the colors around. I didn' t use them long enough to get accustomed so QTEs were my nightmare. As for the N64 its analog stick was a bit imprecise (because it stuck out of a weird hexagon instead of a circle) and slippy as hell (it was impossible for me to run in the same direction for a long time, the stick would eventually slip from under my thumb).

I didn' t have any trouble holding either of them though, I don' t give a crap about symmetry.
And once I got accustomed to it the Gamecube pad felt comfy as slippers to me.

But all of that is nitpicking really. The only controller whose guts I ****ing hate is the Wiimote. The buttons size, their locations, the blithering motion tracker, I' m genuinely amazed I didn' t hear people ***** about it en masse. It' s like that thing was designed to annoy me specifically or something.

 

Is this the directional pad you're talking about? Cause I've never heard the term "digital cross" before :x

 

Yup. Now that you mention it I' ve never seen that idiom in English. That' d be a literal translation of the French term for it, digital cross vs analog stick.

 

Ah, ok. Yeah, that part of the Xbox 360 controller is definitely shit, and makes some fighting games harder for me, since I don't have a fighting game pad :<

 

I'm left-handed and KIU was not a huge deal for me personally haha. It was really awkward for the first few chapters though.
The main thing that bugged me was that if I picked it up after not playing for a while, I'd automatically hold the stylus with my left hand and get very confused upon realizing I couldn't aim the reticle at all. I kept having to pause it and switch :v.

As for the N64 controller, I think it's okay but... Gat dang, that analog stick. In my experience it handles wear really poorly.

I'm really partial to DualShock 2s generally speaking (surprising no one, probably lol).

 

There's a reason Sony hasn't tried reinventing this thing: it's perfect.

 

It's just awkward and clumsy for me trying to play it, and I find myself squeezing my system and hitting the buttons a little too hard with my other hand.

But I like DualShock 2 too, much better than 360.
