What if Megadrive controller... but NeoGeo controller? Simple idea, one dichotomally opposed to the TurboTouch 360, all tactile, no capacitance. the design itself is rather simple, moving the stick around the centerpoint pushes the spring.loaded plastic brackets, which press the 4 cardinal buttons, the top looking somewhat like an analog stick, or the 3ds' circlepad, internally it's not much different compared to a regular 6-button (D-pad is unaffected by the mode switch and ALWAYS outputs to the pins.

Idea for a more conventional looking N64 controller, I have zero idea as to why some cartdridges didn't have save RAM (besides greed, the #1 cause of a worse product, since as a reminder, first party games ALL saved to the cart, except Pokémon Stadium (I think, look it up ater and update this)), I want this controller to have rumble and a FRAM chip for saves, the Transfer Pak wasn't used by many games, so I'll skipping adding support for it, prototype will be 3D printed and wired, will just use a regular analog stick and a fighting-game friendly C-button layout (think 6 button Megadrive)
Finally, one that's actually built and functional! Tried to make it pear shaped and ergonomic, but maybe I should've made a desktop one instead. Used cheapo aliex arcade stick and an admittedly unsatisfying button should have made it with a custom button instead, oh well, onto a 2.0 design
Yet another kinda simple one, a pseudo-spoon shaped controller, with a large dial and a trigger functioning as the 'serve' button, see the pong console page for more details
