The C analogue stick looks strange.

They redigned the Gamecube pad all the time cos there was a problem with kids in Japan not being able to use the N64 pad very well cos it was too big. And they farted around with the Gamecube pad cos American surposedly have fat fingers. Well why don't they just make various sizes of the controller instead of faffing around redisigning it all the time!

It's a good thing they lengthened the handles on the side. It looked really uncomfy without them.

Especially in my big hands.

Why don't 3rd party controller designers actually take

The plug to plug it into the GC will probably be really stiff too!

No doubts any 3rd party controller will look almost exactly the same but with longer handles, a slighty wobbly 3d stick, and some bizzare colours!

Why don't 3rd party controller designers actually take the amount out buttons and create a totally unique controller instead of tying to have exactly the same design as the original?

I wonder what kinds of controllers other companies will make for the GC?

The thing I like about the controller is that the stick is where the d-pad is on the PS pad and that's how i like it. When using the PS pads 3d sticks your fingers stretch and it can be annoying, but if you play on a Dreamcast pad the stick is in a more natural position, like how it looks on the Gamecube pad. So i think i'll like the Gamecube pad!

I reckon the wavebird looks easier to use than the one with the cable. The buttons look more intuitively placed.
