I bought an M30. I’d never owned a 6-button Sega controller so I’ve got nothing to compare it to aside from a whack MadCatz FightPad I once tried for SFIV, but it’s definitely nice enough for these here Sonic fan remasters.

I’m unclear on why X, Y, and Z are shaped this way. Is that a 90s controller real estate issue?

close your eyes

put your thumb on the buttons

you can feel which row of buttons you’re on and the only bearings you need are which button you’re on (the B button is supposed to have a bump on it)

also! if you’re actively using all six buttons, the larger surface area of the bottom row of buttons lets you rest the mid-joint of the thumb and the tip on the top row

also also! both of these things apply to an extent if you’re using fingers instead of a thumb, keyboard/joystick style

Are there any good modern solutions to keyboard and mouse controls on the couch beyond just having a large awkward tray on your lap?

what genre of game?

for non-action non-mouselook uses i’ve used:

  • a steam controller (discontinued and pricey now)

  • various models of combination chiclet keyboard and trackpad:

    • the logitech k400 was the standard a decade ago but the trackpad is really bad
    • the logitech k600 is the modern update but it’s really expensive for the build (ours broke in under a year)
    • the microsoft “all-in-one media keyboard” (N9Z-0001) is my favorite because it has “keycaps” that make it easy to clean and durable, and a fairly large trackpad

  • moonlight to stream the PC connected to the TV to a laptop/phone/deck and controlled it from there

for action/mouselook, lapdesk + compact keyboard is the way to go imo but i feel itchy when using an analog stick to control a camera now
