GameCube Controller Clear & Purple

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.

The most comfortable controller ever...   May 12, 2002

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!!!

This controller is the best i have ever used, These controllers are extremely comfortable and fit into your hands perfectly. The large A button is great and makes it very easy to control, the top buttons are quite large allowing you to hit the buttons easy unlike the PSX controls when you couldnt find the L+R Buttons without looking at the control.

Nintendo have designed this controller with the utmost care and attention.It fits into your hand perfectly and after a few minutes of play you forget that it is in your hands giving you more time to think about the game you are playing.More expensive than any other controller, yes but when I tell that my original purple controller has outlived two other makes it makes sense to pay that little extra!!!
