Back in the day I bought a copy of the one pictured on the bottom. I was struggling with Splatterhouse 2 and found that a particular combo move was almost necessary to clear some levels but it was devilishly difficult to pull off, at least for me. So I bought a programmable pad to help me pull off that combo anytime I needed with ease. It really did work well. Years later after I hadn't used the pad for quite I while I traded it in at a local used game store.
Recently as the collecting bug bit me I found I really wanted my old programmable pad back. I then found it pretty darn difficult to actually locate one. I got lucky recently and got these two in separate purchases for about $15 each. They were NIB and sealed so the price seemed faily reasonable for virgin plastic! Of course now they are no longer sealed because I intend to use them when I'm not using my favorite Genesis controller, a well worn TurboTouch 360 (but I have a NIB spare copy stored away!).
You can see that they were made by the same company but that over the span of time between the first one (bottom one in the photo) and the second one (the one in the top of the photo) the company changed names, and I can't blame them. What company would want to go by the name of STD?
