I wouldn't agree with that. The Z button is stupid and in an awkward place (should have simply been left off if you ask me, but we probably have the N64 fans who were crying for a Z button to thank for it), the buttons are too hard and too tall, their shapes are awkward and it does nothing to make them any more or less comfortable than traditional controllers in terms of positioning and it's not any easier to use multiple buttons at once. The c-stick was a laughably bad idea. That little nub has never been comfortable, and considering the prevalence of games which use two analog sticks by that point that's pretty unforgivable. And touching on the D-pad a bit more, being in that position works for analog sticks because they're so damn tall. It really didn't work for an undersized pad that had almost no height to it.
All in all there wasn't much I did like about the GC pad. If it worked for you then all the power to you but it never gelled with me and my hands.
