I never had any problems with the Jaguar controller. It was weird sure, but then again, so was Sony's prototype boomerang-type controller that they wisely never produced.

hehe. Yeah, the boomerang controller was ass, for sure. But the PS controllers aren't my favourite controllers by a long shot.

Slightly off topic; but the worst controllers are the Nuon ones, these are the two I've tried:

The mattel Hyperscan. Nothing even comes close.

Plus, it came with an x-men fighting game that featured nightcrawler with a voiced line that went 'You are weak, like unwashed leiderhosen!"

Everytime I think of an unattractive console, I realize that it at least resembles a console. The one that I can't think of anything uglier and less-console-looking than is the Playstation 2. The original model, the slim version is an improvement.

No mention of the Atari XE system!? Heathens, the lot of you! That thing is BUTT ugly, and WTF is up with the pastel colored buttons? What the hell were the designers smoking?:

I think it's cute. not as pretty as the 7800 or the later 2600 models, but it's nice - at least the cart label faces the right way.

Agreed, I like that Atari XE. Easter colored!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Yeah, I remember really liking the Atari XE. The pastels are definitely a product of the late 80s.
