My favorites controllers

P.C. controller: Flightstick
I think this was made by CH Productions. Great for analogue and flight sims. I need to get a newer version that has more buttons and that's more compatable with newer games.

I like the Sega made original controller, and the 6 button. I'm looking for annother 6 button and an analogue, maybe the Saturn controller and the Saturn "3D" contoller too.

Mouse: I traditionally like a Logitech track ball. My latest is a Logitech laser mouse, It's great except the plastic they make new mouses out of seems to rot right away.

I think the best fighting game controller I've ever used was the original Neo Geo controller.

I only like pad controllers for RPGs or stratedgy games, but definately not for fighting or some action games. SNES controller was not bad for RPG. From the begining I thought pads were a step backwards done to save costs for the company. The legacy of pads has been the awkword DC brick, and so forth... I know people who didn't buy a DC because of the controller.

One time a company sent me an SNES controller in the mail. It had a flat pad for directions, instead of the " + " looking pad we usually get. It was pressure sensative and was supposed to keep you from getting numb thumb or something. They had a feed back card which I sent them back. It didn't seem very accurate, I could learn how to use it accuratly but I thought that would be an unnecessary kink, a waste of time when I could just use another joystick that actually works.

Several of the Atari controllers for various systems were really good also.

Hmm... Tough. Perhaps the good old PC Engine and Famicom/Super Famicom controllers, for pads..

And for sticks, either the Neo Geo old-style stick ( Can't stand the " bean " ) or the Mass systems stick ( even if no two are alike, ha ha ha..they handle well )

Oh, this brings to mind, can anybody think of any arcade games that actually utilize 8 buttons??

It was probably one of the "Turbo Touch 360" controllers. I didn't like them either, but a friend of mine loved using his.

Be kind to goblins.

Yeah, that sounds like what it was called.

Little did Jack's followers realize the Neo Black Cats were to become a creative dance group.

The small Saturn pad is my personal favorate, the 6-button Genesis pad is really good too. Never could use an arcade stick though, which is sad seeing as it prevents me from playing in arcades...

The closest thing I can think of would be Smash T.V. since the second stick worked, more or less, like 8 individual buttons as opposed to being used for movement.
