    Good lord i forgot about those controllers. They look so awkward. More ergonomic than steckdeck or a switch though.

      They’re molded to the hands really well but the analogue stick is entirely plastic and digs into your thumb really easily!

        As does the d-pad! I remember having blisters on my left thumb from playing project justice 2 for hours

      They are more comfortable than they look. The lack of a second analogue stick is a big limitation though.

      This controller is probably the daddy of the original Xbox controller, and the GameCube controller (N64 is the mother there).

      It was probably more comfortable than the Xbox one, and looked cooler than the GC one, but the GC controller wins in comfort.

        I always hated the GC controller.

          It’s weird, but it makes sense when you’re used to it. Z can be a bit awkward, though. Having the face buttons all be different shapes is a great plus imo.

          Yeah too small for my tastes. And I wasn’t a fan of the button layout and very small c-stick.

          But then again, I actually liked the Duke.
