My problem with the controller was that the analog stick stuck out too much, was too hard, and had those plastic ridges. It always made my thumb sore. I remember I would put a waterproof band-aid on it just to act as a cushion. Also my hands were too close together when I held it that way. It felt awkward.
The N64 had some great ideas and innovations, but the execution was off. The Gamecube confirmed was so much better.
