Just thought we could discuss our differing experiences with the evolution of controllers as we held them.
My worst experience was of course the N64 controller. There was no comfortable way to hold the damn thing. If you held it like a PS1 controller, you couldn't reach the analog stick with your thumb, but if you held if from the middle, then the d-pad and L button was out of the question. How in the world did this design get finalized?
The XBox Controller took some getting used to, mainly because of how bulky it is. I still don't understand why a controller needs to be that bulky; there's no better example of a controller size and design than a PS1/PS2 controller.
