Not as bad as you think.

>>9726648

>>9726640
Don't listen to everyone else, you're right. The N64 controller absolutely should have been worse.

>>9726640
Ffs anon, the entire point of the Claw design was to allow two handling modes minimizing the redundancy of two controllers. This "design" actually relies on fucking duplicating 75% of what BOTH modes use.

>Claw design
What's that?
>allow two handling modes minimizing the redundancy of two controllers
Same as this one.
>This "design" actually relies on fucking duplicating 75% of what BOTH modes use.
No, this design is better because your thumbs would easily be able to reach all the 6 face buttons and both the d-pad and analog stick without changing your grip. Only 2 of the 4 shoulder buttons would be hard to reach.

>>9726686
I know I'm assuming a lot here but: keep your day job, anon.

Reminds me a bit of the lynx, could be flipped upside down for left handed faggots.
Your idea sucks though, how do you do add the handles for ergonomics sake?
Doing that would make your design even bulkier and shittier than it already is. I bet your uncle worked for Sega in the 90s.

>the one thing universally despised about the Dreamcast controller
It also makes literally no sense that you're fine with reaching down to the bottom of the pad for the control stick, yet obviously thought a redesign from the standard Xbox control format was necessary.

>>9726640
Terrible, terrible design. Horrendous.

>no d-pad

>>9726765
You blind, man.

>>9726640
Oh yeah, a rectangular box, that's very ergonomic. MadKatz, hire this man.

>>9726640
You would absolutely hit the triggers on the underside by accident with your palm or body. Either because you shifted your weight, rested the controller against something, etc.

>>9726640
Today is the day that OP learned he would've been a perfect fit for Sega's defunct hardware design devision.

OP, I improved the ergonomics for ya. Now it's lookin' fierce!

>>9726640
I really like it in concept, but the shape is too boxy

>>9726721
Even today I get a chuckle when I think back to that kid who busted one of these out at recess and just how fucking HUGE it was

>>9727034
On that vein, I had pic related and when I busted it out at school during my sophomore year, people were asking if it was like a command module for nukes or some shit lol. Of course, they wouldn't let me use it for tests, so I just put a bunch of games on it.

>>9726640
There is literally nothing wrong with the N64 controller and I don't understand why so many people are obsessed with shitting on it for no reason. Did an N64 controller rape you as a child or something?

>>9727103
>Nothing wrong
The analog stick mechanism is complete trash. There's a reason you straight up can't buy decent feeling n64 controllers anymore

>>9726640
>Instead of making the controller retarded, why not make it really retarded?
It was 1996. That amount of stupid didn't even exist.

>>9726729
>NES controller

>>9727275
The soft plastic bowl with no lube is the only problem, the stick itself is incredible overall. The optical sensors make it precise as fuck and completely deadzone-free. Just get a metal replacement bowl and lube it, that fixes 100% of the problems with the controller. But anyway, no one is complaining about the bowl wearing out, they're always complaining about "muh 3 hands" and whatever the fuck.

>>9726735
I admire your 'tism but I also hate your guts. I bet my tax dollars are cutting you a tard check. Fuck you

>>9726640
Where do you put the controller pak though?

lmao what the fuck is this

>>9727427
Probably funded himself lmao

genuinely impressed you managed to come up with an even dumber and more inefficient design than the actual n64 controller

>>9726706
and lifes too short to longboard

>>9727728
How is it inefficient?

>>9728181
Too many redundant buttons that are only used half the time. The N64 controller has the same two modes: left hand on d-pad or left hand on stick, but it still has the same 6 face buttons and R button you would use with either mode. OP's controller has 4 face buttons and an R button for one mode and 4 completely separate face buttons and R button for the other mode, which is just pure inefficiency in design and manufacturing. you're building 2 completely separate and complete controllers and then just putting them in the same housing.

>>9726640
Hear me out.

>>9726640
LMAO no fuck out of here. The Hori pad mostly gets it right. Just make it like the 360 pad but without a right stick and the six face buttons. There you pretty much have the N64 controller. Would have been a lot better of a console if it had a C stick though.

>>9728379
surprised this hasnt been cloned as an n64 controller
are they uncomfy?

>>9727046
>two modifier layers even though only seven buttons have functions for both and ten don't even have a function for one
Is there a button combination I don't remember that uses both the 2nd and Alpha(diamond) keys and was standard across all TI calculators?

>>9726640
First off, most Nintendo 64 games were designed with their controller design in mind.

So having the d-pad in that position doesn't really help.

the worst part is that either configuration makes some aspect of the buttons unusable. like there's nothing worse than having to reach over other buttons to use something. which is why most controllers will have button groups at an angle to each other.

hell this design ideal is part of why the Joy-Cons are terribly designed.

>>9726640
This looks hellish to control and play with.Also people are still whining about the n64 controller? They realize that you're not supposed to be using all the buttons for every game, right? That it's made so you can hold it in two different ways...right?

>>9727103
I think it's because at first people didn't grasp that you were supposed to either be using the dpad and the stick not both at the same time and then it kind of jus became a meme.

>>9726640
this is terrible and less intuitive than the three-pronged controller.

>>9728337
>Too many redundant buttons that are only used half the time
You're describing the original N64 controller.
>The N64 controller has the same two modes: left hand on d-pad or left hand on stick, but it still has the same 6 face buttons and R button you would use with either mode.
It has a third mode, right hand on the analog stick, and in that mode the A and B are barely reachable and you're losing the entire c buttons. This would be an improvement, you're only losing two shoulder buttons in separate modes.
>OP's controller has 4 face buttons and an R button for one mode and 4 completely separate face buttons and R button for the other mode, which is just pure inefficiency in design and manufacturing.
But there's no reason all those 8 face buttons aren't usable in flipped mode though?

>>9729507
>They realize that you're not supposed to be using all the buttons for every game, right?
Yes, and that hurt complex games that require more buttons. Turok controlled like shit.

>>9731449

That's a problem with the retards trying to use too many buttons

>>9727103
Zoomers are used to the 2 prong standard that was set after the n64 controller so they freak the fuck out when they see the third prong.

this is the worst designed controller ever, and you should feel ashamed for even thinking of this

>>9726640
I don't get it.
