Kane99 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 What are some weird and impractical controllers you had growing up? Or ones you saw in store or in gaming magazines. I know there's that Resident Evil 4 collectors edition with the chainsaw controller. I know of the wu tang clan controller and a few others, but what are some of the really crazy and impractical ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Definitely the NubyTech Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Controller wouldn't be missed out as one of most weird controllers that I have seen. Also, the Shinkansen Wii Controller for Densha de Go Shinkansen looks horrible from its appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I've really seen different controllers ever since I got into gaming. Some controllers are simply strange to me after seeing them due to their different shapes. I even saw one that is simply like the car steering.

You really need to see how funny Xbox 360 QWERTY Text-Input Keyboard looks like. Whenever I saw the controller, I can't stop laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boblee Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Can I ever forget my Sega Fishing Rod for my Dreamcast console back in the days. The looks of it alone is very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth are you supposed to hold it and play with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Hold the grip in your left hand so your thumb can hit the D-pad, and use your other hand with the palm facing down is the only way I was ever able to use it. I tried to use it with my right palm facing inward towards the buttons, but that didn't help much, if any. So I just boxed it up and kept it as an emergency controller. Luckily I never had to use it again. I wish I knew what happened to it. I guess I could but another one on eBay as they're not particularly expensive. But I'm not all that interested in having another one. Boblee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only but imagine the stress that's going to come with trying to use the controller because even with the explanation, it's quite that challenging.

Not really, it looks like a computer 🖥 keyword in a sort of way that's odd and funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other controller looks familiar though. On 1/12/2022 at 5:07 PM, Boblee said: Can I ever forget my Sega Fishing Rod for my Dreamcast console back in the days. The looks of it alone is very funny. I heard it worked really well though. Was definitely meant for one of Segas fishing games. I think they had one on for the Saturn as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
