Game controllers have been around for as long as games have… But WEIRD controllers have probably been around for longer. Let’s try a few of the (IMO) most important for ourselves…

Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Love Anthony's videos, they're so informative and easy to understand. Anthony really does have a way with words!
I had both the original flat gravis gamepad and gamepad pro USB that is still in a drawer somewhere. Many many hours of NES, SNES, and Genesis emulation was done on this gamepads growing up
I never would have thought that the Power Glove would not catch on
More like this please!

He Totally needs his own retro and mods/ hacks channel.
The Xbox "duke" was the unholy love-child between the Dreamcast controller and a dualshock.
i had the ms freestyle pro, TERRIBLE stick that could be the best, sensor motion, 6 front buttons, nice L,R, nice grip and a trotle, with great design, doono how ms floped it
I still find "gaming keyboards" an amusing trend. I mean, it's a straight up a text input device, the only games a keyboard is designed for – is text adventures. Keyboard is a typewriter from a get go.
Random memory while watching, I remember it seemed like a big deal when I think Genesis had diagonal buttons, lol
Just found this gem of info
Had a 'neg con' joypad for ridge racer 2 on the playstation. crazy.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game is the third movie. Sonic 06 is Sonic Adventure 3. The original XBox is the Dreamcast 2.
#fancythatshit
I'm not sure why, but I get the feeling this place has a really weird work environment …..
Love Anthony videos too 👍🏻
This was so interesting. I don't understand how I never knew this video existed… I've been following LTT for years and watch pretty much every video.
Anything massive thumbs up, weirdly made, obscure, retro kinda tech that's just for pure enthusiasm is some of the best most fun stuff on this channel 💾📼🎥🖲☎🎮🎚oh wow it's actually a whole lot of stuff since I was born that's antiques now 🙁
ah yeah the sidewinder, had one of those
Nope, your thumb isn't too fat. I had one of those things when I was a kid. They're absolutely terrible. It's like hitting 3 different directions at once.
Ignoring chainsaw wtf
I had the Freestyle Pro, couldn't do Sabins Blits moves in FF6 because it was at an angle, but it came with Motocross Madness 2 and the gyro actually worked pretty well.
Mother of all game input devices is "The Arcade Joystick"!
Interesting question to ask: Does the XE-1AP controller work with the Commodore 64 and Amiga line of home computers? I know that they use the Atari standard for their DB9 controller ports. Their controllers are known to be universally cross platform across many home consoles and home computers that use the DB9 Atari pinout standard. Also, the Japanese home computers such as the MSX and Sharp X68000 tend to use the Atari standard for their DB9 controller ports as well.
Always down for any video with Anthony in it. He is my favorite of the LTT team.
Unpopular opinion : Xbox controllers and any offset thumbstick controller is extremely uncomfortable to use and play on.
Anthony – You are a pleasure every time I see you make an episode. Seriously sir, good stuff.
MORE RETRO CONTENT!!!
More of this please linus
yeah , this is A cool Video , More plz
Am I watching Linus Tech Tips or Stop Skeletons From Fighting?
Namco NeGCon racing pad was amazing. It was quite genius in giving more finer control in wheel turning. And gas buttons were analog buttons and shoulder buttons if my memory serves right. If you could find one working id love to see it also in finer inspection by you.
Anthony for me became the new "Linus" a long time ago. Hes somebody the viewer base can still relate to. It's a shame Linus is now the "man" we all used to oppose. Oh well times change.
Want a really weird controller to review? Try the PS1 Glove.
a wierdly GREAT and under-appreciated (unless you had one) – the NES MAX with the wierd slider D-pad,
Anthony is extremely lovable, calming, entertaining and nice to watch and listen to. I wish he did more content like this! It is captivating looking at retro tech with Anthony!
Anthony's OG, from a rating of 1-10 he's a 4090TI, I see him on the Thumbnail, I always click.
XE-1 AP made me think Elons Child was somehow involved…
Please do the neGcon, white and black versions, the controllers the racing controllers they inspired and get good at Wipeout 2097/XL or wipeout 3SE for testing purposes, Ridge Racer Type-4 would be good too as you can put the joGcon in the video too as it also works with R4
really hope this series continues! 🤘❤️
I love the old web 1.0 sites.
How does this video not have at least 1m views?
Does anyone know what wallpaper is on the PC behind him? TY
