oh I meant specifically with a saturn layout thing; I’ve kept such a picture on hand every time I plug my saturn usb controller into a fresh install because I know that the mapping is fucked by default and its just about the only visual aid to unfucking the default mapping

The best to ever do it.
i remember hearing of a spectrum steering wheel that worked on a similar principle too, pushing down all of the middle row of keys to create a psuedo-analogue effect. never seen any actual evidence of its existence though

In today’s episode of Ultraman Trigger, one of the characters used a Hori PC Engine pad to play a bullet hell shooter against an alien computer virus.

What’s the use case of this controller? It was probably mentioned earlier in this thread but I’ve forgotten.
I can’t figure out how to hold it/how to use it/what it’d even be used for and it’s driving me crazy. Is it for editting videos?? Scrolling web content? Playing games? What’s the disc-shaped dpad (?) on the left, an analog?? Why are the shoulder triggers (??) on the right curved and why are there two???

From what I understand it’s just meant for video editing, computer drawing or whatever work could use an extra wheel or two

yeah it’s not really intended for gaming, instead just a set of inputs which can be differentiated by feel alone and which can be used for basically whatever, a lot of digital artists I know (have been given them for free to promote them) and seem to think they’re somewhere on the spectrum of okay-to-neat
that said I don’t know for sure if they literally come up as a directinput / USB HID gamepad but I wouldn’t be surprised if they do and the software just converts it to keyboard and mouse inputs

Ahhh, that makes sense. Could be neat?
The few times I’ve done intense video editing, I really wished I had a knob to scrub through the timeline, so it might be handy without having to buy a more expensive knob.
In other input news, this was announced today:
I have absolutely no need for it but kind of want

Like I love that face button layout, but the overall shape is also part of the GC appeal.

This looks like a DVD remote control scheme
