Sega Controller for Dreamcast

Pros: Great for fighters
Cons: Nightmarish for racers

Well before the days when the original Xbox controller was vilified for being the largest hunk of ju ...

Pros: Nice fit, tons of controls, lasts a long time, two memory card slots.
Cons: It makes other game controllers look like crap.

I had an ongoing obsession with Crazy Taxi for the better part of six months. I was always trying to beat scores, see how many passengers I could pick up and trying to remember all the different spots where people wanted to go. Even though the ...

Pros: nice layout, comfortable
Cons: only one analog stick

I think I have found my new best friend. No it’s not a dog, no it’s not two coney cheese dogs with a side of cheese fries; but it’s the Dreamcast controller which controls the people/things on screen(duh, like anyone this day and age didn’t know that)....

Pros: Hand falls where it should naturally, intelligent button layout
Cons: Can be a bit uncomfortable after a while

I've been playing video games for as long as I can remember. The most important thing in all those gaming experiences is how good the controller is. After all, if your controller is sub-par, so is your control over the game. Also, if the controller is...

Pros: The best trigger buttons on any controller, two VMU slots that are hot-swappable.
Cons: Ridges on control buttons will tear up your thumbs, six buttons only?

Before I even start, I'm a total mark for the Sega Dreamcast. It's seen its share of criticism, it's even pretty much a dead system now but it's second in my heart only to my Super Nintendo (which I'm still buying games for all the time)....

Pros: New colors, shoulder buttons are nice.
Cons: Read the design botches below.

This isn't the worst controller on the market. That distinction goes to the Nintendo 64, but this is a close runner up.

The first and most obvious design botch. Why is the cord attached to the controller underneath the Start button and not...

Pros: Nice solid controller, two expansion slots, easy to use.
Cons: Cord comes out of the bottom of the controller, no built-in rumble.

This is a fairly nice controller for the Dreamcast. I like everything about this controller. Even the dumb little things about this controller aren't that big of a deal.

The controller itself is very...

Pros: Nice analog stick, good L/R buttons. Nice fit for people with big hands.
Cons: Face button layout problems. Terrible for fighting games.

Never before, in my entire gaming life, has there been a controller so hated and resented as this one. I have met several people, both online and off, that simply hate the thing (funny thing is, most don't even own a Dreamcast). Well folks, I'm here to...

Pros: Smooth control, buttons are placed well
Cons: Causes hand fatigue really fast, controller is small

First off, my hands aren't that big. Average, but not much larger. Well, after playing my Dreamcast for a couple of hours, I noticed how much my hands hurt, and I mean really hurt Keep in mind, that I did take breaks and stretched my hands and fingers...

Pros: Nice design, cool looking
Cons: Some may find it difficult after being used to Playstation and N64 controls

Everyone is talking about the Sega Dreamcast these days. Whether it’s the games, system or the accessories that come with the system, I have noticed that Sega has created a new way to play videogames. The controller that is supplied with this next...

Pros: Provides good control
Cons: $30 a pop, strange shape may take some getting used to

Boy, is this thing shaped funny. The first thing I noticed about the Dreamcast console was how strangely the controllers were shaped. A far cry from the ancient, simple rectangular shape that was the Nintendo (NES) controller, which was the last...

Pros: Cheap, analog control, analog L and R triggers, good feel,/Extra 6 feet
Cons: Needs more buttons, d-pad , cord placement/none really

Intro: I was a little disappointed that the Dreamcast didn’t use a controller that had a similar design to that of the Saturn. It was small, comfortable, and had a sufficient amount of buttons. I mean it could have been tweaked a bit and ...

Pros: Two controller slots, durable and soft analog stick, shoulder buttons are fun to pinch.
Cons: Not many buttons and very small, cord is short and faces you, very wide.

With the launch of the Sega Dreamcast, Sega's fate was already sealed. Sega had a huge advantage over Nintendo and Sony, but already they were disappointing fans on the first day. Not just because of Sega Net, but also that darn controller.

...

Pros: Comfortable, VMU and rumble pak slots.
Cons: Bad for 2-D fighting games.

The Sega Dreamcast controller for the Japanese launch was a huge failure. Buying one was a big gamble because the buttons were weak and poorly made. Breaking the buttons was common and it seemed Sega had failed again. Luckily Sega of America fixed these...

Pros: unlike any other controller
Cons: That's not saying it's great though

When I first tried out the dreamcast controller I was frustrated and angry. Nothing seemed to work right and analog really bothered me to no end. It was hard to learn and it had a kazillion buttons that could possibly be pressed from buttons to analogs...
