I'm going to spark controversy by stating that the N64 controller was one of the worst controllers ever produced. It's so awkward to hold.
How so?

It served its purpose well enough, just wasn't space efficient

I think just because I've grown a lot my larger adult hands just feel too clunky around the controller. I've never been a big fan of that middle part that sticks right down on the controller, as I feel the need to maneuver my hands around just to hit the d-pad on the left side.

But how often does a game use both the Control Stick and the D-Pad? I don't think I've played any like that.

Ok, Dualshock 4...
I just used it for more than a few seconds and... I'm addicted.
Holy cow, that feeling, that controller is crying out its epicness loud.

The DualShock 2 will always be the best controller for me. That symmetry is just too good! I'm probably a little biased, because I grew up with a PS1 / PS2, though.

I would've said the DualShock 3, but those L2/R2 buttons... I feel like I'm in the minority here, but I really, really don't like those springs they use. Ever since I killed my R2 button on my old DualShock 3, I'm way too careful when playing racing games / games with driving in them now. The button on the old controller just sinks in now, thanks to L.A. Noire. ;~;
