The Asspull 3X controller. Looks rather strikingly similar to a certain other input device, doesn't it?

But that's not why I posted this.

I just watched an interesting YT video about the select button. About how the NES had one because some Nintendo arcade games had one and the controller therefore needed one for home ports. And how this then basically became a vestige of backwards compatibility. Even the PlayStation controller has a select button remaining from its past as the Nintendo Play Station (two words).

So the A3X controller, I designed it with start and select buttons. You can't see 'em on this render but there's two shoulder buttons too.

But does it really need a select button? Does it in fact need a start button, or can it be reasonably relabeled "pause"?

To wit, the GeneDrive's controller only has a single start button. Its predecessor the Master System had none, overloading 1 to also mean start. Almost(?) all Sega consoles afterwards also had only a start button.

The Gravis PC Gamepad of course also had none, but the PC-Engine had select and run buttons. And the XBox-lookalike Logitech controller I test all this with has start and back buttons.

So now I'm doubting myself again, as one does, and could really use some external inputs (lame pun intended) to help guide things.

No matter what comes out of this, at least things are reasonably easy to alter.

Me: *worried the D-pad on the A3X controller might be too small*

A3X D-pad: *exactly to scale*

Rest of the fucking controller: *not quite*

In Myanmar, voltage fluctuation always occurs in electrical supply system. Due to voltage fluctuation, life of electrical equipment consumed electricity is shorted really. To solve this problem, automatic voltage stabilizer is needed for domestic and industries. Both single phase and three phases are available. In this paper intend to known that automatic voltage stabilizer plays efficient role in all type of load i.e. resistive, inductive and capacitive loads. This paper present control circuit for automatic voltage stabilizer provides voltage comparator, relays and servo-controlled motor that compare instantaneous input and output voltage. Automatic voltage stabilizer consists of two unit measuring unit and regulating unit. In this stabilizer, toroidal type variable autotransformer is used for regulating unit and electronic control circuit is used for sensing unit. Electromechanical or servo control system is used for measuring unit to sense the supply voltage. This electronic control circuit will operate within the fluctuation range from 120V to 250V.The rating of this automatic voltage stabilizer is 7kVA single phase and its frequency range is 50Hz. The output sensitivity is ±1 . If input voltage is lower than 120V or higher than 250V, the system will be automatic shutdown.

I made this 3d controller. I know the design would be impractical for a real controller. I don’t think your thumbs would be able to reach the joysticks. aha

I just thought a controller that is made to look like a D pad would look cool.

Also I had some trouble with the tv screen so if you can’t tell yes that is suppose to be a display screen.
