the other day we saw a list someone made of the worst video game controllers ever designed

#2 on the list was the _gamecube controller_, aka the most ergonomic controller we've ever used

@Felthry what the fuck

if the Gamecube controller had a zl button it'd be the greatest controller of all time

Follow

@monorail even worse, they ranked it worse than the Philips CD-i controller and the Intellivision controller

@monorail the Fairchild Channel F controller, which we had never heard of before

@monorail apparently it was lauded as "outstanding" on release, but then it was also one of the first video game controllers ever so *shrug*
