Ladies and gentlemen? I begin this article with a question:
Is the duelshock 2 (ps2) really the best controller ever?
Yes! But here are some less known, weird and wonderful controllers that are, for better or worse, eyecatching and "off the wall"
 |
| The x button is the trigger! Genius |
 |
| Note: the right handle is shaped like a gun handle! |
Resident Evil controller (PS1)
This is a must have for all old school, tank control survival horror fans! Optimised for Resident Evil (surprise), all the buttons have been moved around for a very different experience. With the "X" button being the trigger(where "R2" should be) , the "R" buttons where the 'Triangle" should be and the right handle shaped like a gun handle, it feels like you are genuinly shooting "T... Those monsters" while having the comfort of a more traditional controller at the same time! The button mapping may seem intimidating, but its actually a very comfortable setup!
ASCII keyboard controller (Gamecube)
And you thought the WII-U controller felt weird!
This crazy thing was made for the online RPG game "Tales Of" and it definatly serves it perpus. However, there arent many online games for the gamecube that will benefit from the ASCII.
Now, joking aside, its actually quite comfortable to handle providing you place it on a flat surface like a table. As goofy as it looks, its a very collectable item and definatly enhances the few online RPG games that can use the ASCII.
EYE TOY (PS2)
You are the controller!
Long before Kinect (the all but abandoned child Xbox), there was the Eye toy (the all but perfect child of PS2). The Eye Toy senses your body movement, allowing you to interact with all the mini games the disc throws at you, While making you look like a complete pillock.
Tron edition controllers (Various)
Waw! Look at them! Just look at them!
No special features here, but the design looks amazing! And it definatly enhances the late night marathons!
Personally, I think the Xbox controller looks better with this design because The neon lights and the chunky design really gives it that cyberpunk feel.
OMG WHAT THE HELL? (PC)
I COULDNT FIND OUT THE NAME, IF ANYONE KNOWS, PLEASE COMMENT
Honestly, look at this maniacle disasterpiece! Looks like a keyboard just puked its guts out on an already weird shaped controller! But hold thy judgement and thou shall know the truth!
I know it looks intimidating (thats me being polite) but believe it or not, its comfortable! It feels heavy,sturdy and every single button is easily accessable! I am amazed that someone made such a crazy looking thing with such a crazy ammount of buttons that isnt only comfortable but also sturdy and well mapped!
