Anyone ever used this Dreamcast joystick?

It's strange how sometimes a third-party controller is superior than the original ones. There's this GC wireless controller that HAS the rumble feature, for example.

The Xbox Logitech Wireless controller looks awesome. It is also 70 bucks. The only problem with Wireless controllers for the Xbox is that the Memory card slots are part of the thing that gets plugged in. Meaning that if I were to use Xbox Live I would be restricted by the length of the headset cord.

...you know what? I do care about how shitty the Perfect Chaos avatar here is. But I don't have other option.

Well, you sure told me.

That's it- that's a nice avatar. It's a bird, and it's green. All to comemorate 9/7.

And it's Rlan's avatar. (Or was.)

I haven't tried any of their console controllers, but the PC controller I bought awhile ago was from Logitech and that didn't last more than a week.

I have Master System controllers from the late 80's that still work. What the fuck is wrong with you guys, are you cursed or something?

Are they third party?

Nay. I didn't even think such things existed then...

I believe that the Master System has pretty good, and comfy, controllers: all the ones I have used work (although that's a small number). On the contrary, I have to say that the Mega Drive controllers are total dog shit, I mean, I have around 5 or 6, and about 2 of them work properly. The rest have problems going a direction on the D-pad, or the B button is broken, or some other random problem. I guess people must have thrown their controllers about in frustration every time they lost to the last bosses on Phantasy Star 2. I do, maybe that's why they're broken...

I really don't see how you guys wind up with broken controllers. I have third-party NES controllers that still work fine.

I only have messed up N64 controllers. Only because I didn't know that they were so friggin' <b>weak!</b>

The N64 controllers were one of the lamest 1st-party designs ever. In every aspect... Usability, durability, size, practicality...

But at least they feel right when they actually work. I've gone through about 6 N64 controllers myself in the last seven years.
