In your opinion, what controller do you think handles and feels the best when playing videogames?
For me its the PS2 controller, the button and analog controls are positioned the best compared to the other rivals (not to sound like a fanboy) when playing for an extended amount of time.
The Xbox Controller S comes close though, with its comfort and somewhat good button placement (except the black and white buttons), the analog on that is really nice though.
Gamecube.... excellent analog control, but the design and placement could have been better.

PS2 has too many buttons for me to remember. GC has a nice button layout but it feels uncomfortable. Xbox has the best with a nice button layout and I have big hands so there's a plus. Big hands = Big controller. Big hands doesn't = small controllers.
EDIT: Forgot to say my answer. Xbox is winner.

I like the GC controller for the same reason as kip-kip but not for the hand reason.

I like the GCN controller beacuse Iits normally a perfect suit for anyone and feels very comfortable to hold. PS2 is eh, and XBox... uhh..no that thing is huge I can't stand how it fits my hands, and I have pretty big hands too.

The Gamecubes controller is the best and most comfortable controller I have ever used.. simple as that.

I really like the Gamecube one. The XBox one feels a bit confusing, the PS2 one has buttons weirdly placed IMO. The Dreamcast's controller seemed to big and bulky... although I didn't actually have a Dreamcast XD But... I've never played any of the other games consoles... so don't know what they'd be like :P

I like the Xbox controller since I play Xbox a lot. The PS2 controller is also good but I like the Xbox one better.

I like the PS2 button layout the best. GCN coming close behind though.
Xbox? The small version is okay...

All I've ever played are Nintendo systems. Umm... out of the Nintendo systems I like the GCN's the best. I would've liked the old GCN controller better. The letters they used looked nice and the B button was bigger (it's too tiny now). But, the controller is very comfy. I remember when I first got my GCN. I was all spazzy for about an hour over the controller. I was going to my parents demanding that they hold the thing. Lol

I like the PS2 controller the best.I never have to think about what button to press next during gameplay.

Out of that list, I've only played PS2 and Gamecube, so I can only talk about those. XD;
The PS2 controllers are okay. They're pretty light and although incredibly confusing to first-time users, you get used to it pretty quickly. I think it has too many buttons, though. o_O It's hard to keep track of all the functions with double the L/R buttons, 4 regular buttons, two analog sticks... blah. They break really easily, too. T_T;; I have these wireless controllers for the console as well and those are just... really annoying. ><;; They're really heavy and they take, like, 4 AA batteries. The directional pad is hard to use and it's just... really inconvenient because since the battery life isn't even that long. =\ Meh.
GCN has the Wavebird controller... wireless, light, still comfy, on/off switch, not incredibly bulky -- it wins by default if you ask me. oO; The normal controllers for the GCN are still really good too, though. ^_^; I like how compact they are, although the B button sort of bugs me with its insane lack of proportion to the A button. x_X And I always forget about the Z button, too, since it's so overpowered by the usage of the R button. Blah, oh well. :P
And I've played either the NES or the SNES (I honestly don't know the difference, lmao XD). Whichever one it was, the controller was too small and hard to hold. ;( I didn't like it.

I like the gamecube controller because it is small and weird.

PS2 also has these newer(not exactly brand new though) 'wireless action' controllers(I believe that's the name) from logitech. They're much smaller and lighter than the controllers you speak of, and only use 2 AA batteries. Plus, the reciever thingy is only a little nub on the PS2. I believe battery life is longer too. Oh yes... cheaper also.
Bleh, go look for them. They're nice lol.

I have a PS2. Overall, my favorite controller is the AirFlo PS2 controller. It's a little bigger than the normal controller, and it has a BUILT-IN FAN.
That's right- no more sweaty hands. It has openings in the back and on the nubs where you put your hands. You flip a switch and the fan goes on. It's quiet, and it actually makes you play better!
Xbox controllers are way too big. Gamecube is too strange. PS2 controllers are nice, but a little too small. I like the AirFlo (PS2 or Xbox) because of the fan. Get this- they cost less than the actuall official controllers. Next time, try an AirFlo. Your hands will thank you.

The gamecube controller for me. Seeing as I have small hands, so my hands fit comfortbly when I use it. And although the button placement could have been better, I find it the best controller I've ever used.

Gamecube. It just fits in your hands perfectly. PS2 is alright, but it's not really made for comfort. I don't like the Xbox controller at all, because you have to contort your hands too much. Then again, I've only used it once.
Also, the N64 controller was pretty good, too. Though the control stick could have afforded to be a little nicer.

PS2 controller pwns all, it is not confusing at all and it is more comfertble. GCN is good also, but some of the button layouts are really confusing. the new Xbox one is ok, but it still is kinda hard to use for me, but I don't even have one so I can't get used it XD
