Personally I don't have an XBox (and never do) but was wondering, HOW DO YOU PLAY GAMES WITH THOSE MASSIVE CONTROLLERS!

I think the original X-Box controller is the most comfortable available at the moment, after I used that then went back to the PS2 controller, I felt the PS2 controller was way too small, and the analogue sticks were terrible. And I've just never liked the GC controller, the buttons are all over the place and it feels very awkward to use.

Personally, I think the Gamecube controller is the best. There might be a few problems with the placement of some of the buttons, but it's generally the most comfortable controller.

I think the original Xbox controller feels like you're holding a large china plate. The S is quite a bit better.

PS2 controller is average.

I always thought the best one was the N64, although it had the obvious disadvantage of only having the one stick.

the XBOX (large) controller is very good, although sometimes I wish the buttons were just a tad closer together.

yep

I am blessed with big hands and find that the only people who really have difficulty with the large Xbox controller are... well I'll let you work that out yourself.

Lets be honest, overall the PS2's controller is absolute crap, designed 8 years ago with few changes I redally hope they put some effort into the next one.

I don't like the Gamecube controller, but I don't own one so I can't say anything except I did find some of the buttons a little fiddly. Nintendo, bring back the N64 controller, that was the best I have ever used.

The Original Xbox controller is too big for my liking, and the white and black buttons are too far away for my liking, especially if you have to be using the analogue stick on the right.

This was corrected with the S, and at the moment it have to be my favourite pad.
