 Virtually flawless ergonomic design August 13, 2003
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
When this controller rolled off the production line for the first time, everybody knew that Nintendo had got it right. And they had.
When you first look at it, you think that it was made by Fisher Price. "That's so weird!", "That looks really difficult to control", "I could never get used to that". True, the controller isn't normal. That's because it's never been done before.
When you grasp it in you hands your thumbs immediately fall over the A button and the control stick. Without even looking at the controller you can hit the B, X, Y, Z and C buttons/stick without thinking. Within 10 seconds, you're used to it. And you've only just got it out of the box.
The Gamecube controller is in a league of it's own. The competition don't have enough experience to create such a design, the blandness of the PS2 controller and the big bulky "Mummy, i just broke my thumb trying to reach the white button" Xbox controller prove this. The Gamecube controller was designed to control the game, not to be easy to press the buttons. It's unique. Everything works. It's just that people who own Xboxes and PS2's who have negative IQ's are so ignorant such a masterpiece that they use the Gamecube controller's "unusual" design to critise the console. Rather sad really............
Great controler - best in the world July 11, 2002

Forget anything else, this controler is perfect with no flaws. People complain about the Z button being out of reach but its really nice like that - for a minor, function button to be somewhare different actually makes a change and gives your finger a break. The vibration is just the right amount, the handles are just the right shape, the 3D stick feels just right and the buttons are all in the right place. Perfect!
Super! May 11, 2002

This controler is great it is different from the PS1 hand set as it is quite difficult to control and it is alot chunkier. But this is a good controller.
I actullaly prefer the 4GAMERS hand set. It is a tiny bit bigger but it has 4 flashy covers-orange,purple,none,silver- this is a very good buy as well.
Even though these are about the same price they are both alittle on the big side.

This is the best EVER controller (speaking as an owner of a gamecube, PS2, N64 and dreamcast). Both analogue and D-PAD are very easy to reach and you feel that the controller generally moulds into your hands. Vibration is great on this. On STAR WARS, if someone shoots in the front-right, that is where on the controller it will vibrate!!!
