    Didn't like it. The L and R buttons wore out easily and I think I dropped that controller more than any system I ever played.

    People are giving a lot of nostalgia votes instead of practicality.

    The original playstation dual shock is controller perfection.

    There's a reason they've basically maintained the same design for 15 years.

    The r****dedness of the N64 Controller is probably why I switched over to Sony and have never gone back.

    I love the 360 controllers

    All time worst has to be the playstation controllers. I have no clue why they have stuck with such a ****ty design for so long

    I was going to say the same thing. You could wreck shop on Skate or Die with that thing.

    the triggers on that thing had awkward placement.



    And i don't understand the N64 controller hate. It was comfortable with well placed buttons and solidly built. Sure, it was ugly as sin but it functioned very well with games and was outstanding with shooters.

    the triggers are like any other controller. However the plug coming out of the opposite side was always strange

    i felt they were too low..or maybe it was that they had too much play in them. I just remember feeling like it was a bit annoying having to press them routinely.

    Owned both too, Saturn died a much quicker death. Dreamcast had a decent shelflife though, it did well but just was the final death knell for Sega's consoles.
