Nintendo is pretty much my default answer for this question in recent times, but honestly, for their time periods, the NES and SNES controllers were probably the best of their respective generations.

And if we're talking overall across the entire span of gaming history, the NES and SNES don't even remotely come close to being the worst. Just in terms of button-placement and ergonomic design the N64 and GameCube were FAR worse than the NES and SNES designs, the Atari joysticks were generally kind of garbage, and the IntelliVision used to have a controller that would literally make your thumbs bleed (and I mean literally as in literally, not as a form of emphasis - the hard sharp plastic edge would cut your thumb open).

Dual Shock is probably the best controller design anyone's ever come up with by this point (though I have a personal preference for the Xbox S-controller/360 controller design because it's more comfortable than the Dual Shock in my giant adult hands).
