Most games do NOT use all buttons equally. For most games the distribution of button presses leans heavily towards a single button for the majority of the game. Nintendo realized this and made a big ol fat ergonomic A button right in the center.

I do know there are people with OCD due to the lack of symmetry that's found in the diamond layout and overall design. The GCN diamond layout is ideal so we can't fix that. However, I can get on board with people's OCD in that the C stick looks weird being a nub. The z button is a child whose twin died at birth so I can get why people aren't feeling this.

Most modern controllers that assume all buttons are used equally are flawed. This is equivalent to a car having a gas pedal, brake pedal, air conditioner pedal, window pedal, and all sorts of other pedals right next to each other.

I am not going to argue with anyone in this topic. It is the best controller ever made.

The z button is weird and the B-button is too small.

The closest thing we have to a perfect controller is the DS4

Like I said not gonna argue, but I'm gonna lol at that trash archaic design of a controller. Joysticks were added in after the fact like a shitty painter trying to fix up a classic renaissance painting, and what resulted was an oversized unergonomic turd that sony refuses to polish to this day.

The GameCube controller is overrated. The d-pad sucks - and while it's not uncomfortable to use, it's not exactly comfortable either. I think it's a good controller, but to say it's the best is so wrong.

C-stick shouldn't be a nub. Analog stick notches are really awesome for some games but are awful for a lot of other games (like fighting games). The D-pad sucks, but honestly most D-pads suck. Why is everyone so bad at D-pads

The d-pad is tiny and uncomfortable, which makes it useless for fighting games, and the c-stick not being a full sized analogue stick is unacceptable

The PowerA Officially licensed from Nintendo reproduction GameCube Controllers for Switch:
1) Fixes the tiny D-Pad by making it bigger, ergo more comfortable.
2) Gives you matching Z-buttons on both sides
3) Is cheaper in cost than the Official Pro Controller
4) You only sacrifice NFC & Rumble, two things I personally don't care about.

I love the upper Symetrical Analog stick layout, it's so nice.

And you get access to clasical D-Pad + Face buttons on bottom.

It's so under-rated.

The GCN controller is really ergonomic but the sticks are staggered and uneven, there are no stick clicks, and theres only 3 shoulder buttons. I will give it credit for being one of the first controllers to have analog triggers though

Objectively no it is not.

Without regard to feel of buttons, it only has 3 shoulder buttons. This makes it not good for various games, including a lot of sports games.

That is a pretty perfect controller

I think xb1 pad with ds1/2 shoulder buttons would be pretty perfect

Analog/springy triggers is some unnecessary boomer shit, I prefer using the face buttons for driving games

The reasons GameCube controller is best are:
  • the B,A,X buttons can all be hit without changing the level of bend in the thumb knuckle
  • the shoulder buttons are comfy as fuck

Controllers these days have too many buttons. And as a result, game designers jam their heads up their asses and think they should be utilizing every single one in every game they make. A controller only needs 6 buttons. If somebody can't make a good game with 6 buttons, they should rethink their career.

The ps3, Xbox 360, ps4, xbone and ps5 have better controllers. Even the switch pro controller is better than the GameCube controller. The only thing that the GameCube controller is perfect for is Smash Bros

The GameCube controller is good for Tales of Symphonia, but it played similarly to Smash Bros. The main problem I had with the GC controller was how short the cord was on it. The PS2 was ideal in length.

I tried playing Soul Calibur II on it once and didn't like the setup. Then again, the PS2 controller was ideal for it.
