In my almost 4 decades of gaming, this is the only 3rd party controller that was ever worth it.

Mostly for macroing perfect drives in the PGA games.
There’s plenty of great third party controllers for both Xbox and PlayStation at this point
That’s something from the time when dinosaurs walked this planet I guess
What is it for?
The ASCII pad for SNES was great
I don’t think I’ve ever used a 3rd party controller that I liked.
Still got mine. The gray has yellowed over the years unfortunately. https://i.imgur.com/mKvpEbV.jpg
NegCon for PS1 was pretty sick.
Friend had one we used for Street Fighter 2. It was still only semi reliable to get Zengief to do his pile driver.
I enjoyed the scuffs for Xbox 360 but I went pc after that
I had a wireless Mad Catz controller for PS2 that I really liked. It had turbo options.
I have an old Razer Sabertooth that I just dusted off last month for Diablo 4 beta, and it’s pretty neat. The rubber on it completely disintegrated from age though, I actually had to rub it off and clean the whole thing, and it’s still a little sticky and smelly, but still works.
What I liked about it is that it has two rockers on the bottom, and built-in macro support. If you bind those rockers to fire, not only can you fire with your left and/or right trigger, but also with the rockers on the bottom of the controller. In some FPS games, this allowed to generate utterly insane rate of fire, and in other games made the button-mashing quick time events easy, since instead of using a single finger on a single button, you got to use multiple fingers on multiple buttons. The face buttons also glow prettily, and the directional disk isn’t a disc, but four discrete buttons.
So I quite liked that controller. Though until now I mostly used it for driving and flying games where controller fits better than keyboard and mouse. Until now last time I used it was to beat the flying boss fight in Far Cry 5, couldn’t do it with keyboard and mouse to save my life, controls were just atrocious. And last month I tried it with Diablo 4 beta, and it worked beautifully.
Does the MS Elite controller count as third party?
I honestly can’t play without my paddles anymore.
I was a fan of a GameCube controller with the fan on the handles
Oh my god, core memory unlocked. I had this controller and forgot about it completely.
I remember this, I planned to buy one but, KBToys ran out the week before I went to get one and I NEVER saw another again
I love the hori fps plus I got three of them.
8bitdo? They’re better than some first party controllers.
Alltime worse was the TurboTouch360.
It was night mare fuel on all of the levels.
1. That name. Nightmare fuel
2. [Look at this shit.](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7HZFdlckDI8/maxresdefault.jpg) Nightmare fuel
3. imagine using this and thinking it’s an improvement, now that it’s the future and we’ve all had to use touch controls in place of buttons from time to time. Nobody likes that. I game on this thing in my nightmares.
8bitDo
Wavebird wireless GameCube controller was OP
I still have mine!
I’m pretty happy with my Gulikit King Kong Pro 2.
Core memory unlocked… God I had this and the gray one
I tend to like third-party controllers. In my experience, third-party controllers have “springier” buttons and pads. Which I like the feel of.
For though, first-party is always the way to go.
The NES Satellite was amazing. Infrared signal so you could play from across the room (cutting edge 1989 gaming tech), plug in up to 4 controllers at once, and could even put the A or B buttons into turbo mode
The worst 3rd party controller I ever bought was the InterAct Quantum FighterPad.
Idk If I ever bought another 3rd party controller after that.
110% AGREED
I have 2 of these for the Genesis and 2 for the Super Nintendo‼️
Those button labels are not giving me a great first impression, though. A, B, C, … X? But no Y or Z? And what’s with the orbital buttons labeled with dots?
The screen is a neat idea, but is enough power supplied from the cable to run it or does it need batteries? And what is it for?
I guess I’m wondering what made it worth it in your opinion.
Ps2 afterglow pro was the best 3rd party controller I ever had. The playstation controller is as near to perfect as can be imo, but the afterglow is the same but smaller, and I have hobbit hands.
Man, forgot all about this one.
Don’t even think about using auto fire or I’ll know.
Technology has yet to recreate this masterpiece
Epyx 500xj controller was ergonomic and could take a beating. Best Atari or Commodore controller there was.
It wasn’t 3rd party, but I *always* swore by my [NES Max](https://nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/NES_Max). I worked that thing into the dirt and yet it never failed me.
Are you are that’s now a Walkman?
I had this thing. It was pretty sweet.
I had a really awesome one for Genesis. No idea how to look it up though.
Right in the fucking nostalgia. I didn’t even know how to use all the buttons, but I thought it was cool as hell.
I don’t know man, the Mad Catz PS3 Arcade Stick was pretty rad
Sega Genesis SG Propad 3-button Turbo Controller was excellent
I have one of those somewhere… I’m gonna have to dig it out now
Is that a BlackBerry?
are snoppy brand controllers consider as 3rd part
In all honestly I bet it’s easier to do half circle forwards on this than that janky ass ps5 controller. People don’t appreciate quality controllers until they reach silver in street fighter.
