A brilliant controller
If you've bought a gamecube you will probably have one of these controllers already and will know of its brilliance. First of all the controller is of unique design and when you fist look at it some may say it looks rather childish with its bright colours and strange shape. However it looks brilliant when compared to the boring dated PS2 controller and the black behemoth controller of the X-box. It is perfectly designed for the gamer. The controller is the right size (unlike the large cumbersome X-Box controller) and when you hold it your thumbs are ideally positioned over the two control sticks and your fingers have easy access to all the other buttons and there are enough buttons to meet the needs of even the most demanding games. The controller has a built in rumble feature that vibrates to just the right level. Another brilliant feature of this controller is the digital click feature of the L and R buttons meaning the harder you press the more intense the action. If considering buying a second controller for your cube although the unofficial other controllers are cheaper most are nowhere near as good as the official cube controller. So if buying a cube controller I recommend you spend a little extra on the official controller unless you wish to spend more and purchase the official wireless controller- the wavebird

What controller?
This controller...the one in your hand...

This controller is just so comfortable, its sometimes easy to forget your holding it. The buttons are placed perfectly, and I mean perfectly, so that they are just where you want them. At first, the B button seems small and too difficult to hit properly, but it soon "grows" and you'll wonder why you thought it was a difficult button in the first place. The only problem is perhaps the START button, which can be difficult to press at time, if you have short thumbs at least.
The shoulder pads are analogue, meaning you can kind of "squeeze" them, but at the bottom they have a very nice, digital "click", allowing for more commands in-game.
The analogue sticks are also placed wonderfully, especially for First-Person-Shooters, and the D-Pad is wonderfully clear and definite, unlike the X-Box pad.
I really dont know how anyone can complain about this joypad, but you should ignore them.
I dont know if I can stress enough just how comfortable this controller really is, its so soft and gentle, but yet firm. The PS2 controller is good, but this is just fantastic.

An extension of your arm almost...

The most comfortable controller ever...
There has been debate about the best controller to ever grace a console, and it may at last have arrived. Part of the reason for the playstation's success is its controller design, this is also true of the nintendo 64. Ergenomic contoller designs with functional buttons have made modern gameplay so much more enjoyable than the old gamepads of the NES and Master System. However, Nintendo's new Game Cube controller design is perfect. It fits perfectly into any hand, better even than the 64 and PS2s, all the buttons are beautifully position with the most important ones more accesable that the less important. The Joystick is perhaps not as good as the PS2's but the rest is simply amazing. This could be the best controller ever!!!
