| Going through google images I found some funny spin-offs of various sony & nintendo controllers. It came to me when I saw a pic of the dreamcast controller next to an Xbox controller.
So, what controller design do you think is the worst ever?
I think the worst would be the dreamcast controller, it looks bulkier than the Xbox controller O.o | |

| Nice thread, I have to think about this.
I think one of the worst is going to have to be the original xbox controllers. I mean, they did pattern it off the dreamcast and that was a bad idea. Making a mistake is not as bad as repeating one. | |

| Everyone complained that the Xbox controllers were too big, but at the age of 9 i thought they were an alright size... I hated the N64 controllers. Yes i'll get flamed, but they were so damned annoying. Anyone remember the Sega Mega Drive having the buttons A,B and C on it? xD | |

| the z button was probly the best part of the controller, it was bloody good for golden eye and fps games (hence why the Wiimote B button is similar, or the ps3 L2 & R2). | |

| My friend's matcatz ps2 controller broke while I was using it. The metal supporting the right analog stick (the metal pole that joins the rubber to the chipboard) decided to snap. | |

| sounds like me While playing Mario sunshine, I couldn't get past Bowser, who throws bullet bills at the platform ur on & u need to jump up the falling rocks (which I was having trouble doing), so I took the controller by the chord & slammed it into the ground. The right shoulder button shot out of it's socket | |
