It fit my hands really well. C stick was entirely game dependent, some used it heavily and others ignored it - sort of similar to D pad, but that’s been pretty common since games started supporting 3D environments - D pad was only the primary movement control in a 2D game or menus, and occasionally used for ancillary stuff. That is the same to this day so it’s kind of a moot point with this controller specifically.
Personally I loved the asymmetric letter button controls. Was goofy looking but way less awkward thumb movements to reach stuff.
It also has the advantage that nearly every button is a completely different size or shape. Making it easier to use if you have trouble knowing where your fingers are without looking.
It’s been done.
Man, when this shit hit the streets I thought there was no way this controller wouldn’t suck, but turned out to be a great layout.
In my experience, you almost never used the D-pad and C-stick.
That made it functionally in line with PS, and not terribly difficult to adapt into.
I do think the central A with surrounding B, X, and Y buttons was worse than the balanced design of PS/XBox. Just not enough to lose sleep over

The gamecube controller is how I memorized the x- and y-axis of the coordinate system.
oooooh
I like this button layout. If one of the face buttons is gonna be used more than all the others, why shouldn’t it be bigger?

button prompts can be recognizable by silhouette
