I agree. The buttons felt cheap. Like the switches were going to break if you looked at them wrong. Grips were too narrow for my large man-hands. Was just not a pleasant control to use for extended periods.
there's a reason why they came out with updated Gamecube controllers for Smash on the Wii U.
The only major drawback was having only 3 buttons on the top which ended up making ports have some ridiculous button placements at times. But the triggers were analog and digital which was a fire if I'm not mistaken at the time.
It's all a matter of opinion of course, but if I want to figure out which is probably the best controller designs, I'd have to look at Sony's DualShock and Microsoft's various designs. I don't think I've ever seen a controller designer ever copy the GC's controller, but I have seen plenty of DS and MS knockoffs.
The worst Controller I have ever had...
The designer was probably drunk when he produced it
