Controllers, Favorites?
« on: November 19, 2015, 03:04:21 AM »
What are your favorite PCE TG16 controllers?

I been thinking of picking up some 6 button Avenue controllers but am not sure.... Are they mostly for fighting games?

The normal controllers I like for the simplicity and such but as I expand my library especially with the TED once I get it in the mail what games really use all 6 buttons? Mostly just the fighting games? Are there other games that get use out of the 6 buttons?

So far my favorite PC-Engine pad is the standard Coregrafx1 two buttons pads.



I have an Avenue 6 pad, but it feels a bit too bulky and I don't know of any game using it aside from SFII.
I will try to get an Avenue 3 pad too but again, I don't know if so many games make use of it.

Where's the cord?

Edit:  What the?  The picture changed and now the cord is there.  Am I losing my mind?

Heh, I saw the other pic too.  What's its story?

My favorite pads are the wireless ones, though they don't feel all that different than a normal corded controller.  The Ave 3 pad is nice as well, feeling much like a regular pad, and I don't much care for either the FX or Ave 6 pads due to their d-pads.

I really do like the standard two button TurboGrafx/TurboDuo pad.

If we go into the realm of imports the AvenuePad 3 is nice.
I also like the Hori Commander Fighting PC as far as six button pads go.

The 2-button turbo switched Turbo/PCE pad is my favorite controller in general. My favorite styled model is the DuoPad, which is why I used it for the Mysterious Song manual.

The standard ones, got used to its d-pad and I find the ones of Avenue Pad 3/6 a little loose. I like the Hori Commander (not the Figthing Commander, the 2 button one) too; bought a cheap not-working one sometime ago to adapt it for the Master System and do a pause mod, but I ended just fixing the thing - it was just a broken pin on the plug - and put it on PCE use.

I've only ever used the standard controllers and the Hori 6 Button Fighting Commander and I greatly prefer the standard controller for anything that doesn't use 6 buttons. The Hori is usable but doesn't have as good of a feel as the standard imo.

got a shuttle pad recently, and it just feels so nice in my hands. I need to clean it up though as the contacts don't register everytime i press a button

That thing is sweet.  Is it custom?

No idea. I picked it from Google, and saw it had been modded, and I replaced it. I didn't wanted to suggest I used some kind of cordless stuff.
So I have no idea of what was going on with :D

It appears to be Hudson Joycard Sansui NES pad with a Zonk overlay. It might even be converted to work on TurboGrafx or PC Engine (I have a few standard NES pads that are converted).

Ave3 is my go-to controller.  Love it!!

Not the beeyotch.  Cat's original pic was what looked like a standard PCE pad with its cable removed and something (usb port?) installed in its place.
