Anyone have any more info on this controller?

Fujiwork PS2 Contoller - $5.00 at Bookoff

Check out the "NES" type of game pad. Also the L1-L2 R1-R2 staggered Trigger placement. :shock:

Anaolg and Speed Control slide switches have 3 positions each.

My only issue with Grand Theft Auto Vice City is you cant control the camera with the right thumbstick, it makes playing this game feel years and years older than it is and feels impossible to aim.

EDIT: Also my PS2 motion controller has a Dpad like that.

Wasn't really planning on going to Gamestop, but a friend asked me to come with them to the mall so when we passed by I thought, "What the hell?" Ended up picking up a complete copy of Metal Gear: Twin Snakes, a very nice Wavebird, and a complete copy of Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. It was more than I wanted to spend, but the Waverbird was just sooooooo pretty. :roll:

^ You might also ask hashiriya and Breetai about that controller. I've never seen one of those. Cool.

I've never used one or can recall seeing one. I generally stick to first party unless it is Hori arcade sticks, N64 mini-pads, the DC or PS1 6-button Ascii fighting pad, or 3rd party Famicom controllers. Sorry.

Fujiwork is a company that mostly makes high precision semiconductor-related stuff and diagnostic equipment. They also make hospital equipment and even have their own hotel and restaurant chains. I have come across that controller just a couple of times in the past, but I have seen their other controllers more often (See below). The company is all over the place and very random. It would be like if Nintendo made car parts and champagne. Head-scratching stuff.

The controller you got there isn't exactly common, but it's not rare to the point where it is worth money. You might find it in a controller bin at HARD OFF for 500 yen if you were to find one in Japan. I would hold onto it since they were never released in the States. That is a cool find.

They made this FF XIV controller:

This is a Monster Hunter controller:

Thanks! An oddity find to say in the least, I'll definitely hang on to it. According to the Fuji Work website its a 3rd party controller sanctioned with a License from Sony. Just getting a Japanese brand controller here in the states is a treat. This is why I love Bookoff, for all the Japanese imports. The controller was only Five bucks! :mrgreen:

That Final Fantasy Controller looks like it could shoot up in value in a few years, simply because of the name attached.

Dux for Dreamcast, first one I have ever saw. I am gonna try this one out. Migth put it up here sometime though, not a big shooter fan as I used to be.
