S controller was the best controller of the 6th gen. Easily.

S controller?

6th gen is Xbox/GCN/PS2....unless you mean the Series controller?

S was the revised OG Xbox controller. It was designed for the Japanese market and was the only controller offered with Xbox there, as Japan has a preference for smaller controllers. After the Duke was heavily criticized in the west, the S controller replaced the Duke in 2002 in North America and in 2003 in Europe. Many improvements over the Duke, not only was it about 40% smaller and 9 ounces lighter, but it had better ergonomics on the hand grips, a d-pad shape added to the circular d-pad, better button alignment (a proper cross-shape for the face buttons instead of the leaning cross on duke), better button placement for the white and black buttons (within easier thumb travel range from the right analog stick):
