Dual Shock THREE

The problem for me with the GC pad is that the two parts that rest in your hands feel like the DS2 but turned on their sides, it almost feels like it\'s cutting in.

Also the shoulder buttons suck and there is virtually no grip on top of the mushrooms.

I\'m shocked at Nintendo really, they usually the kings of the chunky satisfying peripheral.

The original Xbox controller was the worst controller I\'ve ever held in my life.
 

I used to love the Biggen, I\'d use it over the S-controller when playing all the time.  Then once I got my Xbox with the S I changed my opinion.  The indention on the S analog sticks just makes them easier to use.

They still are, but for some reason you can\'t see it.

I think the indentation makes them harder to grip. And to me it feels as if they\'re slippier. And the controller is also too small. And the start and back buttons are in a horrible place, as well as the black and white buttons.

Just sharing my thoughts.

The comfort of the GC for me its really good. Its the functionality that kills it for me. Certain games are just odd to play on that controller. Not only that but when you have to use the yeallow view stick on a regular basis its annoying. You talk about the ps2 sticks being bad. The GC one is 10x worse. IMO

When your thumbs rest in the indention I don\'t see how it makes them slip for you but ok.  

First too big now too small, I don\'t know, I\'m comfortable with it.  

The only time I have need to hit the start button is when pausing so taking my finger off the stick isn\'t a big deal, and the back button I use to gloat about scores and the S keeps me from showing everyone how superior I am compared to them in Halo.

It seems its a matter of getting used to.We ve got people that prefer the DS2 amd people that prefer the S-controller.I personally prefer the DS2.the placement of the D-pad and the analog sticks are certaintly more comfortable for me.Especially for fighting games.

I seem to agree, the GC is excellent for certain games, but for others it feels very weird.  When playing racing games I prefer the DS2.  The GC controller just feels weird with racing games.  However, I think the GC controller is the best action adventure, platform controller around.  

The PS2 and GC controllers both have their pros and cons.  It is up to each individual to buy the game that works best on the system (and controller).  As for Xbox... I am not interested in buying one after playing with the crappy controls.  The buttons to the right are so small and pathetic, that it is just not worth it.

My roommate up in school had a GC and when I would play mario, sonic, SMBM, zelda and simular type games the controller feels fines. But when playing madden on GC I don\'t like it. And playing fighters on GC I don\'t like it. And playin racers on GC oh no just can\'t do it.

I mean the best controller out for any system rite now is the DC2. You honestly can\'t say that it is not. The xbox controller is way to over sensative that is one thing I hate about it. You can walk bye the controller and it will cause movement in a game.  Every body knows about the unproper placed black and wht buttons. And they need to level out the analogs. I don\'t like the feel of the buttons either.

Honestly if you perfection freaks want 110% accuracy on fps stick too your keyboard and mouse. And one more thing the D-pad on S-controller is just horrible.

Maybe LIC, he could be this guy.  Seeing as how the buttons on the controller are so small and pathetic. :rolleyes:  Not liking the xbox can happen but claiming it\'s not worth it cause of the controller is just funny.   I laugh at you.

which is one of the single greatest controllers, right behind the SNES controller

See how smart that sounds:o

Well the SNES controller is FLAT and your hands felt tired after hours of playing and if that feels comfortable in his hands then I wonder if the first PSX ontroller without the analog sticks feels comfortable in his hands

basically it\'s not the PS2 controllers that sucks. The PS2 controller rocks, really the best all purpose controllers that fits most games.

it\'s just that the PS2 sucks.
