Almost every system I have where I can, I have Madkatz micro controllers. For my SNES, I have a round 1handed controller. Im working on a 1 handed controller for my PS1 as well (just takes saving more cash). The controller you linked has a break in the middle which I find appealing and it looks like it would be small to hold.

Post by: scott on April 17, 2012, 12:21:24 am: I'll tell you what, the Saturn's 3D controller looks kinda awkward, but I use it almost exclusively while playing... that reminds me.

I can just imagine the meeting where they decided to come up with these.

Post by: amauriel on April 18, 2012, 02:27:43 am: @madmax: I'm not a Spongebob fan, but those are far from the strangest controllers for the PS2.

They made NFL and NBA ones for all the teams, and Star Wars wireless ones (we've got a Vader one floating around somewhere), those uncomfortable looking Street Fighter ones, I have one from Shadow the Hedgehog (it's super small and comfy), at least one Simpsons controller (pink, with Lisa on it), that insane Dragon Quest Slime controller, and, of course, the infamous RetroCon (which we somehow have like 5 of?):

Yeah, but I left that one out because there was a chainsaw controller for the Gamecube first. Far as I know, the rest of them were all only PS2.
