Am I the only one who liked the GameCube and N64 controllers? I do not understand how anyone held a 1st-gen Xbox controller and went “now THIS is my fuckin JAM” or whatever we said in 2001

I remember that Penny Arcade really hated them:

I have very large hands, so even back then, that 1st gen Xbox fattie controller was magnificent. I miss them dearly.

Hyperkin released a modernized version of the Duke, works with Xinput on PC just like any Xbox controller. Has both the original Black and White buttons as well as updated bumpers for games that really need those instead.

They did a modern version a few years back as a tribute, PC compatible.

Yup, the N64 controller was good. I especially liked the use of the Z button for firing weapons in first person shooters.

Nothing seriously wrong with the GC controller either.
