Day 11 In The Army: Controllers From Hell

Game Controllers in the past commonly has only 5 basic buttons for games. These includes the directional buttons, select and start buttons and the A and B buttons. However the case, some controller manufacturers take things overboard and created a controller so complicated, it looks directly out from a space-age equipment used on a super classic 8-bit console like the Atari or Nintendo Genesis. One of them is as seen above where the controls are mounted on a glove... Was wondering how you'd play games with just one hand though


And in second place goes to this industrial looking controller that seems like it's a tool for industrial uses than a normal controller. Wonder what's with the wires... looks pretty pathetic too...


A little too awkward for a controller but it mimics a steering wheel or sorts... However, try playing your RPG game or Action and Adventure games with this and you'd realise just how strange this handles...


I have no idea what's with the screen but looks kinda redundant for a bulky controller like this... looks like an oversize MP3 player of the past... If there is one to begin with.


Somehow or rather, it makes you ponder why the directional pads need to be made this big... For more maneuverability? Or person for someone whose hands are so large they'll need a bigger pad for playing? Doesn't make sense for the directional pad to be this big and the other buttons to be so small...


And finally, a controller which looks like a Wii controller certainly doesn't handle as well as it should be... trying playing it when the A and B buttons are below the direction buttons... Plus, this isn't a sensor type like the Wii and certainly doesn't work if ya tilt it horizontally...
