I guess the grey ps1 to black ps2 was kind of soulless

>>7405458
>here's your controller bro

>>7405458
The 101 controller is super comfy though

>>7405458
More like dogshit lol

>>7405497
It would be if the angle of the A&B buttons were rotated (think SNES y & b). The current design is about retarded.

Everything made by whori. Shitty controllers.

>>7405828
Not Mad Catz

>>7405458
Fuck you it was comfortable.

Unlike this abomination.

>>7405969
what do you even call this thing?

the neogeo cd

>>7405974
Proto-Duke

>I'd rather have the hard rectangle jabbing into my hands than use a more comfortable controller
Anything to be special I guess.

>>7405981
>the neogeo cd

huh?

>>7405458
wtf. how dare you talk shit on the dogbone. it was a godsend. the square pad feels like shit with those sharp corners always bashing right into your palms. damn toploader was one of the first things i bought with my allowance money, and i've been using my trusty dogbone for 25 years now. square pad can eat a dick. i have one complaint, the A button should be lower so it hits the back of your thumb, like how Y and B are on SNES, it's like at the wrong angle instead

SOUL= THING I LIKE
SOULLESS =THING I DON'T LIKE

>>7406564
correct

>>7406516
Yeah, the NeoGeo CD controller is a fucking abomination. THIS is a fucking NeoGeo controller.

>>7405458
The square pad might be iconic but the dogbone redesign adds a lot to the ergonomy. Hell even the Famicom controller with its short cord is much more comfy to hold.

All these slack jaw faggots complaining about the original CONTROL DECK pad hurting their little baby hands.

The gravis gamepad with the screw-in stick to put into the D-pad was beyond soulless. You didn't use one of these because you thought it was good. You used this because you didn't have good choices. Look at the controller shape. This is what they thought of you.

>>7406702
> screw-in stick
bruh everyone just unscrewed that and threw it in the trash. great pad. wish i still had mine =(

>>7406715
I'm describing the controller so people know what they're looking at and something they thought was a good idea, not saying it was an important feature anyone used.

>>7406564
>SOUL= THING I LIKE
>SOULLESS =THING YOU LIKE
ftfy

>>7405458
>>7405807
>>7406668
>t. Dumb niggers that have never touched a dogbone controller

These controllers were based as fuck, I beat Shatter Hand using it.

>>7406543
It's not that different from how GameBoy buttons are laid-out, so if you're used to that it's not really an issue.

>>7405969
This is actually very comfortable and has nice handles to rest your hands.

>>7406702
Did anyone actually own that thing? I remember seeing it in ads and thinking, why not just use the keyboard? Analog joysticks for flight simulators I can understand, but that thing?

>>7407121
the thing is that they fucked up when making the Gameboy and for consistency they have been fucking it up ever since.
That's why the dog bone controller is like that, so is the GBA, even the SNES controller is like that and that's why almost every game uses Y/B as its main buttons instead of A/B since every sane person knows they have an inconvenient orientation. Hell, even the GC controller suffers from it to an extent

>>7405481
Numpad controllers were a mistake. A blight on the otherwise-terrific Colecovision console.

>>7407112
Post hand, faggot.

>>7405458
You know it's true.

>>7407251
Soulless? No.
Kinda crap? Yeah.

>>7405458
This seems pretty soulless to me

>>7405981
>look at me mah!

>>7407245
This controller's a bit dirty, but as you can see my thumb fits perfectly between the A and B buttons so I can roll it wherever I need and my index finger wraps right around the curved edge on top. Like a SNES controller but better.

>>7407272
>posts picture upside down

Whatever you can still see what I'm talking about.

>>7405465
>>7407263

Fuck you

PSX controller ruled

>>7406592

The NGCD controller may look cheap but the build quality and accuracy was phenomenal.

>>7405725
off brand hori pad is great

>>7405458
Yeah damn shame that they had to go and make the controller more ergonomic, because as any true gamer I spend more time looking st my NES controller than holding it.

>>7407147
If you wanted a PC gamepad it was the only choice for a while.

>>7405458
dogbone controller was good tho

>>7405974
sega walkman

>>7407720
He's saying the PS2 controller color is souless you tard. Also, it's just called a Playstation. PSX is a meme. Nobody irl called it that back in the day.

Hey anon, wanna come over to my house and play some "PSX"?

See how retarded that is you faggot.

>>7406564
This guy gets it.
Soul/soulless is /v/ faggotry.
It has no place on this board.

>>7407720
And? It's not about the quality of the controller, it's about the heart put into it and the aesthetic quality.
The NeoGeoCD controller is an insult compared to the cool arcade controller.

>>7407147
We had one for a while, but I could never get it working with our period-correct PC because I was fucking retarded at the time.

I had this piece of shit for the Amiga and it was the most soulless thing I've ever used.

>>7411091
that d pad discriminates against people with ham hands

Zoom Hard 2: Zoom Harder

>>7407263
>>7410938
It's not like they didn't try, it just happened to be that the simpler design worked better in their opinion.

>>7411160
Cope Hard 2: 3copey5me

>>7411160
It's called PlayStation. That's literally its name. Why not just say PlayStation? Everybody things you're a faggot when you say PSX even if you insist that you're correct.

>>7411645

It was frequently referred to by its codename by developers and the press, long before release and for some time after. For many, it stuck.

But you'd know this if you were older than 25.

>>7411634
>Zoomer faggot gets rekt
>hurr durr cope
just fucking kys.

>>7411645
entire internet abbreviated it as PSX back in the 90s and early 00s.

>>7407263
early psx devkits had literal snes controllers that had to be kept in a sealed box at all times so they could not be seen

>>7405974
Nights controller

>zoomer faggot shitposts
>grownup laughs at him
>zoomer faggot seethes and copes
>grownup laughs at him even harder
Le me guess, zoomer copes even harder?

>>7405458
>I have to go with the dogbone controller, since it strips the original NES controller rectangle and rigid design, for some modernized Frankenstein hybrid.
Actually, you mean Frankenstein's monster.

>>7405465
it was perfect and functional, bland but all you need, peak industrial design

Anything with concave buttons

>>7406702
Your insane, gravis gamepad has so much soul it hurts
