Most of the newer systems I play have the most difficult, congested controllers. Nintendo has never bought into that. A casual gamer needs a controller where the buttons are managable. In the same vein as the Nintendo 64 controller (my all-time favorite), the gamecube controller fits in my hands great and is easy to get used to.

I will firstly say that I am not in the pre-teen average age range for GameCube, but I still like this controller. When I first saw it, I thought it would be too small for my hands, and that the button placement looked awkward. I couldn't have been more wrong. The controller fits comfortably, even into my larger than average hands (For XBOX, I prefer the bigger, older controller to the smaller Controller S) and all of the buttons are within easy reach. The controller is set up in a way that the controlls are very instinctive for most games. It also allows you to roll your thumb from button to button, allowing for smoother gameplay than on systems where you have to lift your thumb and press the buttons.
The R and L shoulder buttons on the controller are sensitive to the degree that they are being pushed, allowing more versatile controlls than on PS2 for shooters, racing games, and a few others.
The control stick is comfortable and precise. The C-Stick is usually superb, but in a few third party games I have found it awkward. Because it is not the same size and shape as most control sticks, it can be awkward using it as one. The C-Stick, however, performs admirably in Madden, where I find it to be preferable to the XBOX and PS2 controllers. The only quality issue that I have found with Gamecube is with the C-Stick. If you tend to slam your controllers on the ground, or leave them to be sat on, etc, the C Stick sometimes breaks, so that the system thinks that you are always pushing it upwards.
Overall, a very comfortable and easy to use controller. High quality manufacturing, with one glitch.

This controller is the second best of the three systems (PS2 being the best!). At first I thought it would suck because of the looks. I was wrong. Once I started playing with it at a friends house, I found it to be very fun. It's so simple to use, but at the same time comfortable. I always look for that in a controller because I usually play videogames for hours and by some controllers my hands get soar. Well, not with this one!
Alltogether, there are 13 buttons, along with the 2 analog sticks. It has a perfect size for anyone with big or small hands and it is very unfragile.
Well, there's not much else to say, except if you want a gamecube, but aren't sure because of the controller, then buy one. And buy three of these controllers (any color) so all your friends can enjoy the multiplayer games with these cheap, easy-to-use and must-have controllers.

This is the Gamecube controller made by Nintendo. The reason that I say this is because I made the horrible mistake of purchasing a controller made by none other: CRAPPY PELICAN!!!
This controller is actually made with the gamers in mind. Since the average age of Gamecube and overall Nintendo players is about 9-11 years old, Nintendo made their controller reasonably smaller for smaller hands. Don't worry if you have larger hands though. Nintendo made this controller versatile so large and small hands can be comfortable.
Another cool fact about this controller is that the buttons are well placed and shaped. Once you play with this controller for a while, you will get used to the hand position. The A button is the large green one, the B button is the small red one, and the Y and X buttons are the kidney shaped ones. The L and R butttons are obviously on the top. The only problem, is that the Z button is poorly placed. It is rather squished between the R button and the end of the controller. That is the only flaw about button placement.
Overall, the controller is well designed. The color choices are good, considering that they come in the color of the systems (except orange). If you want to go even better, consider a Wavebird wireless. The price is reasonable for what you are getting.
I think that the controller is made of some cheap materials though. The joystick often pops out, and wiggles freely. Also, the A, B, Y, and X buttons wiggle. The R and L buttons are shaky too, but they are made with quality. The Z button has no problems, other than it's placement.
The Gamecube controller is very well made (with some cheap materials) and has great durability. Also, it fits small and large hands. It is very good.
Another thing that I don't like, is the legnth of the wire. It is very short (about 10 feet). If you want something that has a longer range, get the extention wire. It extends the legnth of the wire. You could also go wireless.
This is a great controller!!!

First off I want to say that I did not buy another controller for my GameCube yet, but bought the platinum edition system and it came with one controller. My first color pick for the GameCube was this, and that would be followed by Black and then blue, anyway I am here to review the GameCube controller in general.
It is nice and compact, and very comfotable to hold and play. The L and R buttons are a nice place to rest your fingers on when playing, I love everything about the controller. I admit the X Y and the kydney shaped ones are hard to get straight but they arent like the PS2's and Xboxes with all those shapes! Definetely get a gamecube! The controllers rock!
