I get what you mean man. :) You could probably do something like that easily enough (someone who has done this before can confirm?).

I can understand this to a point because the analog stick is excellent and the trigger buttons are fantastic. However, the layout of the A, B, X and Y buttons is so poorly designed that, for this reason alone, I consider the GameCube controller to be one of the worst ever made. I know I'm in the minority there, but that's how I feel. With that said, if you are talking about hypothetical controllers then you could easily switch that layout to something similar to the SNES controller. Make the C stick more like the regular analog stick and add a second z bumper (seriously, why only have one? What were they thinking?)

The GameCube controller is comfortable in the hand, shape-wise, but its open disregard for symmetry always bothered me - analog sticks are different shapes, sizes, and colors, face buttons 3 different shapes, sizes, and colors, and the little Z button always looked out of place. And the d-pad is tiny :P
And as far as the second Z button goes, that seems to be one of the most common features in third-party GameCube controllers.

When I first got my Xbox One the thing that surprised me the most was the controller. The console and almost everything about it was very coo,and new and exciting, but no matter how many people had talked up the controller pre-purchase it did not prepare for what my hands were about to grasp. Now admittedly the analog sticks being smaller through me off a bit, and the new feel of the bumpers had some getting used to, but after a bit of practice I confidently say that the feel of the controller is spectacular. The rumble features feel great, especially the new force feedback in the triggers. Taking the lights off where it would normally show what player you are was a little confusing and an odd choice, but I was able to figure it out. Overall the best part about it is that there's not a huge bump on the back to put your batteres! It's heaven for your fingers just resting all comfortably back there! lol Anyway you know it's big deal when Microsoft decided to put so much money towards designing it ($100 million I believe).

I actually am not a fan of the xbox one controller. The thumbsticks make my thumbs cramp up and the bumper buttons just aren't comfortable to hit for me.
The 360 controller was by far the best controller.

The button/stick/trigger placement all feels natural and it's very comfortable as it fits my hands very well. I added the KontrolFreek analog extender to the right analog of all of my controllers and love it. It really helps with precision aiming.

Pretty much this.
