Today I learned about the Jogcon controller for PS1 & PS2:

This was a dualshock where the analog sticks are replaced by a dial with force feedback, so players could play Ridge Racer and really FEEL the road as if the dial was a steering wheel. I have no clue if it was good (probably not), but I do miss a good weird controller.

LOL I had completely forgotten about this controller. One of my roommates in college had one of these and I usually wound up with it. I didn't hate it, though, for a third party controller it was surprisingly decent. The fan was mid, but you could feel it, from what I remember.

I remember it being one of my favored chosen out of the plethora of random third party devices I had laying around. This was a step above Mad Catz for sure, but definitely still below the original controllers.

NYKO were a decent third party, back in the day. Not great, but a step above the competition. Downside, I don't think they ever really changed their plans that much. I swear I saw PS3 controllers with the "air cool" marketing still on it, just now with RGB through the controller!
