No need to fix this pad – it certainly isn’t broke fitting like a glove with fine layout. Feeling good on fight titles.
Sony Hardware
Controller
The Para Para dance craze swept Japan like the cherry blossom front with deeply tanned girls and bleached blond boys tossing about there limbs in the clubs from Shibuya to Sekijo. This controller allows players to follow the onscreen prompts by passing over the sensors at the right time. Good exercise and very useful for night clubbing (in a slightly retro fashion.)

Controller
Clever pad from master crafters Hori that can switch between two Digital, Analogue, Negicon, and Analogue Joystick modes. Tried and trusted ergonomic design with intriguing clear look to see the inner workings.
Sony Hardware
Controller
Enhances enjoyment of the Beatmania series ten fold with the buttons laid out just where the player needs them ‘to produce a pleasant and cool sound’ and the turntable for authentic feeling scratching. ‘The moment you make a scratch, you will be hooked on Beatmania.’ Another wacky yet essential console accessory fresh from Japan.

Improve your dance step using this DDR mat compatible with the Playstation titles. Far better to practise in the comfort of your own home before unleashing your moves on the arcade groupies. Genki keeps the curtains firmly shut when grooving and gyrating, for now…
Sony Hardware
Controller
Sony attained such levels of perfection in its Playstation controller, it is little wonder the winning formula has changed so little over the new incarnations of its hardware. Intuitive and snug, most reassuring when being chased by the undead in Biohazard to avoid button flapping and mashing.

Fishing controller adding great realism to the sport’s sims on the Playstation. Whilst you my look a little strange frantically casting and reeling in the comfort of your living room, this shouldn’t be allowed to get in the way of bagging a nice fighting tench from the comfort of your own armchair with packed lunch on your lap. Ascii released this as a stand alone for other fishing games coming with the Tsurikon or Tsurikon 2 logo.
Sony Hardware

Dedicated slot machine (or fruit machine) fans will lap this up with button layout just like a modern slot machine to flitter away a few virtual credits. Superb way to spruce up ones favourite gambling game and at the end of the day wont leave you out of chips.
Sony Hardware
Controller
The height of kitsch which every self respecting otaku shouldn’t be without. Even comes with a stop watch rest. Infinitely adds to the realism when playing Densha De Go on the Playstation.
Sony Hardware
Controller
The real king of kings with spacious layout and vast size compared to the more compact Fighting Sticks – almost harking back to the days when SNK and Hubba Bubba ruled the arcades. A dream for fight fans with a very comfortable layout but Genki can’t see an opponent allowing such an advantage in two player mode without blaming the lack of stick for their defeat themselves. Features Turbo modes.

A real work of ergonomic art, such is Hori’s achievement that it has hardly changed throughout the decades. A real must for fight fans of a certain vintage.
Sega Hardware
Controller
Hori has some track record when it comes to bringing the game centre experience into the home and this sturdy contender brought out to complement Virtua Fighter 2 really feels the part. The usual high spec production values and sturdy finish make for a very pleasurable and finger cramp free joystick.
Sega Hardware
Controller
A smart white finish to this wireless pad that uses a connector (not supplied) to both the joypad ports to hook it up to the Saturn to run via infra-red. Enjoys a comfortable 5 metre range and beats untangling cables any day. Also has TV control button!

Very solid production values in this licensed Hori crafted arcade stick with coin – op style button layout and turbo repeat dip switches. A real intuitive joy to behold on SF II and any fighting title with the buttons just where you need them.
Sega Hardware
Controller
Compatible with the likes of Wing Arms, Soviet Strike, Black Fire… The Mission Stick brings the flight of fancy to such airbourne titles and really adds the extra dimension to the gameplay. If you thought Desert Strike got a bit hairy with a joypad, try using the Mission Stick to finish Soviet Strike. Sega once more shows its supreme love of its fan base in making this stick switchable between left and right sides. Bravo! Also has a turbo fire feature and thumb throttle.

Very slick, off white controller which can have the angle adjusted to suit your set up. Makes race titles far more enjoyable as your car power slides into pole position. Re release as the initial release was in black.

Sankyo produce pachinko machines, so their controller accurately replicates the handle used in the arcades to control the speed of the steel balls that fly here, there and everywhere within the machine. A great collector curio and adds much to games for those fans of the hobby.

With slow motion, turbo and autofire settings the Tornado is a fine third party pad and has a nice feel in the hands.
Sega Hardware

Designed for use with the AM2 cracker Virtual On with massive mecha trying to crush each other. Makes the game a real joy when you master the control of the double stick system. Chic Retro feel to the graphical overlay on the sticks top panel.

Spacious and well laid out with turbo feature bringing you closer to Sonic Team and AM2 than ever before.

Tidy spare pad in the white design with multicoloured buttons. Well designed feeling snug in the hand even when in the tightest of shmup corners facing a barrage of shrapnel.
Sony Hardware

Limited Edition Soul Calibur themed joystick for the PS3 with lovely finish, but more importantly Hori’s sturdy design and perfectly, zen – balanced layout of buttons – not too spacious or finger cramp inducing. Satisying clicks add to the contentment of executing a tricky special move – the accompanying joystick sound soon becomes more familiar than the dexterous manoeuvre itself.

With slow motion and autofire settings and programmable function, this Sunsoft joypad is a fine third party pad and has a nice feel in the hands.
Nintendo Hardware

Little is wrong with the Super Famicom pad which revolutionised controllers. This version simply adds a slow motion, turbo and autofire option and leaves the rest as it should be.

Sound controller from the fine up and coming Columbus Circle stable. Snug ergonomics and nice feel to the button press.

Cult developer Halken turns its fair hand to hardware with impressive results in this JB King controller. Very intuative layout and well produced with no skimping on switches.
