i don't remember why i liked it but i know i liked it

It was arcade based, and the clincher it had turbo fire with slow motion (fast pause).
 
NES Max controller for life baby!!! those turbo buttons and the funky circle thingy helped me beat a lot of games (ok well 1 but that's a lot). But really i think the n64 controller is the best of all time for any system. Best ergonomically but the d pad placement sucked, though i never used it.

You liked it cause it felt like playing on an arcade machine I bet. Moving that big stick instead of the little d-pad definitely made reaction times slower though.
 
SNES...

A smoother and improved version of the NES controller.

N64 and GCN are just weird... N64 had 3 handles, and GCN has weird button placements....

Though, I do believe Xbox's Controller-S is the best controller out.
 
I liked the N64 controller, but it got really uncomfortable after a while. The area where your left pointer finger goes around back to the Z button, the face of the controller didn't really fit my finger very well, maybe my hand was too big. Either way, after a while I'd have a sore ridge in my finger from the controller jamming into it for a while.

I love the PS2 controller though, most comfortable and practical controller I've ever used as far as controllers in general.
