I'm one of the few (very very few) that prefers the Model 1 controller and 3D controller over the model 2. They are all excellent however, I use the 3D controller for everything because in the games that support it, its the best, especially Quake and Duke3D with the hiddin control mode thats closer to the X360 design (analog to look, face buttons to look, triggers to shoot and use, and directional buttons to change weapons and items)
I really wanted to like this controller but it's awkward in my hands. When playing I have trouble comfortably reaching some of the face buttons. I do like that analog ball thing and the triggers but the ergonomics of this pad are dick.
I need to try it out with Sega Rally Netlink...I think that'd help me out quite a bit actually. This was a top notch video.
Outstanding review, I think you've convinced me to pick one of these up and give Sega Rally a try! I feel bad because I haven't even played NiGHTS (barring one or two times on a kiosk a long time ago).
I love it I just got it a few weeks ago pretty cheap with nights I wish I got it back in the day it has such a nice feel plaing nights I enjoy the thumb hole over the stick I wish they had it on the dreamcast for the games it dose support works awesome
Awesome overview! I was unaware that the analog function would work in earlier titles as well.
I need to pick one of these up again.. I actually find these controllers very comfortable and used to bounce back and forth between this pad and the model 2 pad.
Im impressed that you were able to maintain a smooth narrative via jump cuts.

This controller supports such great Saturn games as Fighters Megamix and Daytona CCE.

I really like the design of that thing, it's bizarre, it's interesting, specially because of the "nipple" analog...
