4.0 out of 5 stars I love the controller, but i still have some questions, July 22, 2000

By A Customer

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I love this controller. The buttons are all easy to reach. It only takes a split second to switch from the d-pad to the joystick. The triggers are at just the right spot, easy to use but hard to accidently hit. The start button is just a little hard to reach, but when you push the start button you usually intend to sit the controller down anyways. The problem is the cord comes out of the bottom, not the top. This feels very akward to me. I am aware that there is the little notch to put the cord in, but why put it there when it would have been just as easy to put the cord where the notch is. But, the 2 easy to use slots for a memory card and a jump pack at the same time is great. This controller is light, durable, and easy to use. As for extra controllers, you only need to buy one, if any. I have yet to find a game that is compatible for more that 2 players. But overall, the controller has to be the best yet.

4.0 out of 5 stars comfortable, January 16, 2000

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

this controller is the most comfortable controller ever to hit the market. it allows for longer gameplay hours than sony's dual shock or nintendo's 3 pronged controller. the only problem is the lack of buttons, 4 just isnt enough, and can cause problems with game development in the future. game developers claim that the dual shock and even nintendo64's controller dont have enough buttons, and nintendo's have the most buttons out of any home gaming system, with 9 total. this gripe could be that only 8 are easily accesable. Sega already has the best controller ever, and if they remake it with at least 2 more well-placed button, it would be perfect.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works great!, November 16, 1999

I think the Sega Controller works great. It's pretty comfortable and lightweight. At first, it took a little getting used to, but that's like anything. The only thing I don't like is the hyper-sensitivity of the analog stick. But to be fair, the analog sticks on all of the others (PSX, N64) are also pretty sensitive.
