I really like the S-Type controller, it is so much better than that gargantuan monstrosity original X controller. In fact, I actually like the S-Type alot more than the Dual shock, it feels more "solid", the rumble effects are more pronouced and substantial, and the analog control seems to be more precise too. The dual shock just feel so flimpsy.

I seem to recall that the magazines reported that Microsoft spent a shit load of time testing and talking to gamerz, supposedly going to their houses to see game set ups etc, just to check out how gamers play, to see what the best set up for a controller would be.
perhaps they just posted and got feedback from gamefaq's.....

Controller S works fine for me.
But who designed the asstastic GC controller? Or the equally crappy N64 controller?

The S controller is total ass. The original is okay, but the buttons are horrid, the layout of the S is shit.
The GameCube controller is awesome, melts in my hand. I'll give you the N64 although revolutionary for its time, is not that great.

I see no problem with the button layout for the S. Now the GC button layout, one big button with 3 smaller ones around it, is craptaculous. Trigger buttons on both controllers are pretty crappy though.

The GameCube controller is great for like 90% of games. Most games have button priority and this suits those well. Granted some games its not the best for but it's still very comfortable in your hands. As for the S....the start and back buttons and the white and black buttons are under my hands...very crappy. Digital click on the GameCube controller is pretty nice and in general the triggers are great, Z button wasn't very well thought out. XBox's triggers are pretty good as well.
PS Capcom sucks
All of the X-Box buttons hurt my hands. it's that glass-like palstic they use...uncomfortable as hell.
GC and N64 buttons are great. If noly the GC ahd a nicer D-pad like the 64
But let's not eveng et into design...yeesh, the only X-Box controller I can stand for more than two seconds is the friggin Mad Catz Microcon. My advice: get the universal PS2 controller convertor. It works for both GC and X-Box and it rocks. Sure, it's $20, but it's the ONLY way to get a decent d-pad for GC, and the only way to get a controller at all worth using on X-Box.

I like the Microcon as well. But you think the PS2 has a good d-pad? Ouch I disagree. That separated up crap doesn't do it for me

Everything this man said is true.
The only bad things about the S Controller are the Start and Back buttons, and the black and white buttons.

you do realize they don't even make the first xbox controller anymore do you?
the S controller shits all over PS2 and GC, so this kind of talk is stupid nowadays, anyone with half a brain has gotten an S pad by now.
although I still know Halo die-hards who won't use anything but the bulky pad, they say you can play longer, cause it's easier on your hands.
i'll admit the first xbox pad was a bad design, i would never use it over an S, but it still is better than the horride GC pad those folk are stuck with, I need a damn tweezer to move the D pad.
