Bacon is the worst, hands down. It's slippery, hot, and it doesn't even work on any of the games I have on my Omelette 64!
Wiimote.
If I wanted to exercise while I game, I'd put a treadmill in front of my TV and play my 360.
Alternatively, if I wanted to exercise I'd go outside like any sane person and have a jog. Or sign up to a gym. Or pump weights in my own home.
That's not even mentioning some of the dire calibration issues and the fact that on 90% of games it's little more than a gimmick. That they implimented Class+Gamecube controller options is almost a self admittance that the wiimote controllers aren't perfect for their machine and/or the games on it.
Then there's the fact that due to their design they become slippery to hold when the player sweats, which if you're jumping around like a madman (something a number of Wii games encourage), is pretty much guaranteed. This has lead to Wiimotes through TVs, windows, lightbulbs, faces and all manner of other things. The solution? Spend extra money for a wiimote condom! Excellent. Once again an admittance that their initial design isn't perfect and they need a peripheral for a peripheral to improve it.

I would post something nice and on topic but your spelling/grammar is so bad...
I am sorry. Spelling/Grammar Nazi, out.

Uhh, bacon? Are you trying to be funny or is there some explaination to that?chrisw23 said:
What about the N64 controller? That had three handles and switching between the c buttons and a and be as really irritating.
Keyboard and mouse is absent too, though I'd consider it a fairly important controller as far as things go.
To be fair, I really can't tell the difference much between the X360 and the PS3 controllers. They all have pretty much the same buttons, just different shapes and slightly different positions, but it doesn't make a shred of difference overall to me.
Personally, I'd choose keyboard and mouse over analogue sticks for the speed and precision, though analogue sticks are nice for driving and other analogue-y things, and I've never held a Wii-mote in my hand, so there's not a lot I can say about that.
Original XBox controller is probably the worst in the selection, but since the question is about current gen controllers, I don't really see how it's relevant. Out of all time, I'd probably go with the N64 controller as the weirdest one, because I could never figure out how the hell you're supposed to hold it.
So yeah, I went for bacon.

I think using the Wiimote is the worst. It can't distinguish one random flailing from the next.
I am not sure which console uses bacon as a controller but I want one. Any excuse for bacon.

I gotta' say, no matter how much I hate the Playstation controllers they will never be as big a pain in the ass as the Game Cube controller. That thing was clunky, and stupid as shit.
My vote goes to OTHER, because fuck the Game Cube.
