What specialty controller should be reproduced next?
(1/8) > >>

I *need* more controls. (I'm not sure why.)

Between my various cabinets, I have all the common stuff covered: 8-Ways, 4-Ways, Trackballs, Spinners, Mechanical Rotary, Spring Loaded, Star-Wars Yoke, Trigger Grips, Optical Wheel, Analog Wheel, Flight Sticks, various Shifters & Pedals. I also have Super Hang-On Handle Bars waiting for me to  restore and a Ram Controls Major Havoc Controller on the way.

Guys: What specialty controls should we beg the manufacturers to make next?

Manufacturers: How many orders do you need to make fairly complex controller worth your while?

common? ssshhhhheeeeettt...

I'd call the joysticks commong, the trackball and spinners uncommon and the rest of the stuff at different degrees of rare. I suppose the question you should be asking is - what games do you want to play that you can't play?

Personally - I'd like to see a good set of lightguns, a good wico leaf replacement, and a good 4 way physical restrictor.

Well, those of us without Star Wars Yokes would want them to make some :)  But you know what else would be really cool would be some sort of electronic pinball plunger that would work with Visual PinMame, that aspect of Pinball is sorely lacking on PC.

Star Wars Yokes are commonly available on E-Bay.  While I did get rather lucky, I picked-up mine for $80.
