I'm sorry, but there's parts on the Wiimote that dig into my hand, and it leaves marks. It really pisses me off, that they couldnt design them to be more... hand-friendly. Maybe I'm holding them wrong or something... But any-other way, I cant do the buttons right, so Idunno.

Uh oh... Agreeing with Kwaad... World ending... Just kidding. :D

Actually, I'm surprised that so few of us are calling out the Wiimote for its shoddy design. The controller digs into your hand after awhile, the buttons are poorly laid out, and all-around, it's not a great industrial design for a controller.

The Wii itself is a blast to play but the controller could have used a few more man-hours in the design stage, methinks.

 We must be retards or something, becuase we cant hold it right. :(

Yeah, I hold my Wiimote with a death-grip of lazyness. I also hold my PS3, PS2, x-box, PS1, N64, GameCube, SNES, and NES, and mouse/keyboard about the same grip. Never had a problem out of any of those except the NES... (If you say the NES was good confort... die you liar)

 That's one of the main reasons I dont play on the Wii much at all. And in terms of how imporant I feel the controller is... Let me give a good example here.

I played the PS2 over the GameCube untill I got my wavebird... I stopped playing the PS2 completely almost, due to the added confort/wireless. Then I got my Logitech PS2 controller... I stopped usening the GameCube at that time. Then the PS3 came out, and I couldnt use the LogitechPS2 controller anymore, and the six-axis despite being a little light, is great.
