Is this really a GameCube prototype controller or just some elaborate hoax?

This is the kind of thing that I would expect elite collectors to posses.

Interesting. I don't think I would call it "far superior" though. That square z trigger would kill it for me to start with.

I love that B button compared to final though

Man those look ridiculous. Reminds me of the Virtual Boy controller quite a bit, which wasn't a bad controller. But I think the final Gamecube controller is amazing.

How much would a controller like this be worth I wonder?

Not sure on GameCube pricing but it depends on how recent and how popular a console is, you can get a Xbox 360 prototype controller for $50 for example.

Unless your interested in beta stuff its not really worth it though, since they don't work on retail hardware most of the time

Most (?) collectors tend to focus on actual products that were released to the general public.
Kind of like development systems. there are people who collect them but the market is very small and most collectors would never buy one.
