Hey, just thought I would throw this out there.

People seem to have overlooked the PS1 controller design in this thread.

The first dualshock is basically a template for most of the controllers released over the past 15 years.

Everything from the handles, to the shoulder buttons, to the analogues and the face buttons.

Even companies who tried to do something differently (Dreamcast controller and Wiimote) have borrowed something from the PS1 controller.

You're kidding, right? The first DualShock had the same face buttons as the SNES controller, also they just doubled the amount of shoulder buttons of the SNES controller (and that's why they added the handles, because without them it would be difficult to grab the controllers and use the four shoulder buttons). Also they just doubled the analogues of the N64 controller.

All the basic features the DualShock had were taken from Nintendo-made controllers, in some cases those features were doubled.

Did I say that the Dualshock design was completely original? ...No.

What I am saying though is that the design hasn't moved on from there, the number of buttons and the button placements hasn't changed or has only changed slightly for most controllers released today, especially 3rd party PC controllers.

the 64 controler still had more face buttons, and every consoles controller in that regard and many others are a copy and an improvement on the formula.
