the best game controller of all time is by far the Gamecube one. I've played with basically every single controller created for an array of consoles and it feels the most natural
I like the Playstation 1/2 controllers as well, but those don't feel quite as balanced. X-box is too clunky, SNES/NES too simply (despite being quite solid), N64 not bad but again, not that natural of a feel, Saturn ehhh, Genesis ehhh, Master System (weirdly similar to NES), etc. etc. etc.
The Gamecube controller just has the perfect layout and how the shoulder buttons are curved for the hands is great. also for whatever reason the analog buttons on a Gamecube controller just feel mega great
