Intelevision, the 5200 and the CDI had notably bad controllers.

I always thought the Sega Genesis controller kind of sucked. Was basically just an NES controller with an extra button. Didn't feel like it fit my hands very well - the SNES definitely had the superior controller.

The ps3 original sixaxis controller felt very cheap and light plus the sticks were awful. It was the worst irritation of the dual shock until they brought back the vibration.

Ps4 controllers are like a babies toy.

Triggers cheap, sticks cheap, all the buttons in the middle are super cheap.

I admire the Dreamcast controller because it was the first and last time Sega ever came up with a somewhat original idea. Every other console they made had a controller that ripped off something else

Lay back and prop it up on your stomach and it's all good. Another thing you can't do with an N64 controller. I guess, maybe if you had a deep belly button.

N64 controller wins because of the weirdo C buttons and embarrassingly flimsy joystick. But close second goes to the original Xbox controller. Unnecessarily huge, and it frustrates me to this day that Microsoft flipped x, y, a, and b. I still get confused.

This. I have doubts anyone has actually used either of these if they disagree. The PS controllers don't have natural thumb placement on them. They are the only ones since analog sticks on controllers that don't. The natural thumb placement is facing forward like all other controllers use, not facing to the side at a right angle to make an L. The only people that claim its the best controller are Sony fanboys.

Umm, how about the Saturn 3D pad?

And no I am not going down that 'Sega wasn't innovative' rabbit whole on Gfaqs at this time.

Came into this topic with this in mind, lol. That thing was so flimsy that you had to regularly clean plastic out of the stick area. Some of nintendo's own games like the first mario party were designed to help ruin those sticks even faster.

ignoring shitty non-mainstream controllers, i'll go with the duke:
just way too big and uncomfortable to hold and the black/white buttons were in a weird spot. horrible dpad too. n64 controller was weird but it worked well for all the games on the 64 and the fact that it was designed for the average person and not shaq at least made it pretty comfortable to hold.

The duke still isn't as bad as the Saturn controller. A massive size controller with no real way to grasp it. If I'm picking one other than that, the 3D0 controller was a bit of a nightmare as well, it was fairly decently laid out, but the buttons really felt off when you try to push them.

Ya, that is probably for one of their computers.
The 2600, and 7800 had the classic Atari jack, which could be used with Commodore Computers are well.

Nope, it's for the Jaguar. A console no one had with no good games. It had a CD adapter that, unlike the Genises, plugged in the cartridge slot and resembled a toilet.

Oh, Haha. Ya, I just knew it wasn't the classic Atari jake.
I remember the Jaguar, but I also remember me not really caring at the time.

Which is a shame because the JPN / US 2.0 Saturn standard controllers are amazing.

I still say the N64 controller was amazing for games that were designed for it.

a fighting game is terrible on it, but Banjo, Mario, Mario Party, Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, Goldeneye (at the time), Zelda this controller was awesome
