LOL, the ball controller! Amazing!



 

 

 

 

 

The ball controller is interesting because, in theory, it is probably the best shape to hold for extended periods of time without getting cramps, appears to be ergonomic from the artists sketch of the wrists, and is also completely ambidextrous.

Obvious problems though, without ever actually holding one, is that the double d-pad placement for ambidextrous use means wasted buttons, it's probably really easy to drop when your hands get sweaty, it almost entices you to throw it when you get PO'ed playing a game, and ... oh yeah ... when you set it on the coffee table after you're done playing, it might just roll off! :p



I'd totally rock that ball controller :D And hate setting it down to eat something, imagine it starts rolling away :D



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

Yes, the only problem with the ball controller would be it rolling away :D

The boomerang controller is something some should have gone with. Sixaxis would have worked better with this design.

I think Sony should have gave the boomerang controller a try.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Those are all horrible. The guys at Sony with the idea of a ball controller should burn in hell.



OH EM GEE, that ball controller is hot...not practical, especially for gaming, but hot nonetheless
