My novelty controllers.

[crux]

I had the Wu controller on my saved ebay searches once, actually. I had to force myself not to buy a display controller though. It would totally be up on the wall if I had it.

Another picture incoming sooner or later. My computer monitor is busted and the memory card reader is internal.

Nice collection especially the Beatmania and DDR controls!I got a bunch of random controls in a drawer,so I don't have nearly that much.

My collection is too large to post here

I have most of what you've got, but there are some you've got that even I didn't know about.

Gah! You've even got the Novint Falcon. I've got one too, but I never expected to see anyone else with one

I don't normally collect music/rythm controllers or sports controllers though

Those robot memcard things look awesome

Also, bad news. The Ace Combat Hori Flight Stick 2 does not work on XBOX360/Ace Combat 6 due to MS's screw-the-user encryption on the controller ports

Damn, this thread doesn't seem to mark as read.

ACK! In one sentence you mention controllers on your wishlist being too expensive, then you say you have the Hyper Stick Pro Otomedius Gorgeous! That thing cost an arm and a leg!

I'm pretty sure I've seen your site before and may have even gotten a few ideas from it. I think that's where I rediscovered said Novint Falcon (I saw prototypes for it years earlier, but I had completely forgotten about it) and where I first noticed the original PlayStation Analog controller. Your site used to be just one list, right?

You've got a great collection, though I'm sure it's clear to both of us that we have very different objectives. I think that difference is epitomized by the fact that rhythm game controllers is what spawned my interest in controllers and the Onimusha sword is what sparked yours. My controllers are all, in the end, for the utility. If I can't use them, I will get rid of them (though I'd be hard pressed to get rid of my robots...). It's not about the collection for me (though I cross the line plenty, with controllers and games alike), but the use. So "sports" controllers and rhythm controllers are what make it worth it for me, whereas I can't justify buying the Onimusha sword. To each their own, of course.

To clarify a bit, the ZXE-D robots are not memory cards, per se, but simply connect to the memory card slots in order to interface with the PlayStation. Check out this, if you haven't already.

Also, it is possible to use the PS2 Hori flight stick on Xbox 360, with a PC, the right driver, and a XIM2. I don't have Ace Combat 6 yet (I still haven't finished 3, 4, or 5), so I can't attest to whether it's as good as the real thing, but as controllers tend to work better for that series anyway I'm not sure that I particularly care. Still, search for XIM2 if you haven't heard of it. It's main use is for a keyboard and mouse on Xbox 360, but it can work with most controllers that can work on a PC (the Hori flight stick just needs a driver that can be found on a Japanese site).

I STILL have a bunch of pictures I need to update the topic with. The power supply on my PC blew out a month back, plus my general apathy in updating the topic in the first place, so I'm a little behind. I've acquired quite a few controllers since then. Stay tuned.

And yes, the Otomedius Gorgeous stick is stupidly expensive and I was stupid for paying for it. Play-Asia dropped the price by close to a $100 a few months later... The Bemani ASCs are still MORE expensive than that, though. (I picked up the rest of the stuff on my wish list already, aside from those.)

Yip, it used to be one big list hosted on my pc with a much better look to it too (google borks up my html) Im glad youve seen it before

well function is important cause i dont play sports/rythm games
i try to only get controllers ill use but i admit some ive only used once
the sword for example. The tiny bee is actually too painful to use lol

that xim2 thing would have been useful, might still be

where did you find those robots?

[racketboy]

Awe man -- that's great stuff!
I might have to get with you to work out a site post or something about this stuff....
