If I may be so bold...im not a fan of the saturn controller.

Quite simply, nothing beats the dreamcast controller for me, if not for the ergonomics, then for the VMS with the screen on it, soooo suprised that none of the other consoles used that idea

Ahahaha well now I have a reason to buy a PS2 XD O man I bet that just ''feeling'' this in my hand will make me think I'm playing on a Sega Saturn, a sega saturn on crack! Dizzy

AAAAHHH! Looking at that picture of the new controller kinda freaks me out, man. It's like ... ''Sega PlayStation'' ... I dunno, it's as if something's ''wrong'' about that, like watching Satan and God walk around hand in hand, if ya know what I mean Twitch

Speaking of Sega Saturn controllers ... I think I forgot mine over at your place, Shino ... AGAIN! ^^;

i did like the dc controller, apart from you couldnt wrap your hands around it, the xbox controller s is very similar, but slightly better than the DC (i too wish more systems used the vmu idea)

my only issue with the DC controller, didn't have 6 buttons on the face.

Which is the only thing that makes the PS2 controller "non-perfect" in my eyes.

Put 6 buttons on the face of the PS2 controller, and you got yourself a perfect controller IMO.

I dunno...I kinda like the shoulder buttons. I mean, with buttons on the face, all you use are your thumbs, and your other fingers go to waste. You might as well use them for something. And my argument for the N64 control is that it's (in my mind) the more ergonomical. It feels the most natural in my hand.

What I do like about the Saturn Control, however, is the simplicity of design. It just proves that you don't have to be all high-tech to be good.

And one more observation...it is my belief that the best and most well-designed control for ANY system is the original, stardard control that comes with it.

I would almost always agree with you there Ming, except with the X-box. I think the S-style controllers are just a tad bit better than the original.
