	JennyLC:: Intimate Controllers
		Each controller is embedded with 6 sensors placed with varying degrees of intimacy in relation to the body part with which they correspond.
		Thus, I designed controllers where sensors were embedded in garments with varying degrees of intimacy in relation to the body part with which they corresponded.
		While “Intimate Controllers” is not meant to solve the problem of video game widowhood, it combined with my interest in game controllers was the launching point for the project.

	Sock Master's Video Game Controller Family Tree
		You may have noticed some similarities between the current generation controllers, or between them and the previous generations of controllers.
		There are still a number of gaps in the family tree, as a lot of controllers are still missing from the chart.
		Current things that are missing are controllers I couldn't get my hands on, controllers from less popular consoles, and most of the 8-bit era - which I plan to add in the future, but left out for now because there isn't an obvious connection between the early 8-bit era and later controllers.

	Game controller Summary
		Game controllers can be used to govern the movement or actions of elements in a video or computer game.
		For games, the keyboard typically controls movement of the character while the mouse is used to control the game camera or used for aiming.
		Since the controller is the most common way of interacting with a game, it has to be ergonomically designed to feel comfortable to most of their potential userbase to avoid injuries such as the ones in the RSI group or CTS.

	Wavebird Wireless Controller Hardware Review
		The game controller itself is a grayish-white version of the standard GameCube controller, but with a built-in transmitter hidden inside its base.
		With this arrangement, players can not only avoid the hassle of a tangled cord, but can also play their games from up to six meters away (20 feet) which is the perfect distance if you're looking to play from the comfort of your bed.
		To avoid this, good RF controllers can be programmed to work at a variety of frequencies, so if your signals do become crossed with a cordless phone, you can just change the frequency and both devices will return to normal.

	GameSpy.com - Hardware
		Technically speaking, a game controller is an input device -- it takes data from the user and feeds it to the computer (or console, same thing), where the software interprets it.
		For clarity's sake we'll define a game controller as "a specialized input device designed for gaming purposes." The fact is that there are a lot of such devices out there, from the typical gamepad, and "must-have" flight simulator dohickey to the analog joystick and the latest light gun.
		Since a human hand's opposable thumb has roughly the same degree of freedom as the whole hand, there is no loss in control, less force exerted, and the distance the stick has to travel before the switch is activated is shorter.

	Macworld: News: Nintendo rethinks the game controller
		Simulations of the controller being used in a number of different games were shown during a video shown at the keynote.
		It was swung in a baseball game as someone would swing a bat, stabbed into space to kill imaginary bugs as someone might use a fly swatter and swung from side to side to control a tennis game on screen.
		It was simulated being used in a first-person shooter game, of the type that’s very popular in the U.S. The main controller was held in the hand and pointed while the secondary controller was held in the other hand and became the gun’s trigger.

	Nintendo to replace 3.2 million Wii game controller straps
		The Wii's signature wand-like remote controller is used to mimic the motions of a tennis racket, golf club or sword, depending on the game.
		The control wand is one of the unique features of the Wii, which Nintendo introduced as its counter-challenge in a fierce competition with Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360.
		Wii's debuts were soon followed by reports of smashed glass and damaged television sets, while another fan apparently sprained and cut a finger on her right hand while trying to rally for a comeback victory in Wii baseball.

	Game Controller: Belkin Nostromo Speedpad n52 \| TwitchGuru
		While the WSAD keys are nearly iconic in the gaming community, there are still those who find the keys inadequate for the control of their games.
		The number pad is the control point of choice for other gamers, but without a large desk allowing you to push your keyboard far to the left, you may find your style difficult to accommodate at LAN events or friends' houses.
		While the best games are inventing impressive interfaces and control schemes, new moves suck as shoot-dodging, kneeling, leaning, rolling in all directions and sneaking require many different keys.

	Joysticks, Game Controllers, PC Game Controllers
		A joystick, the classic gaming device, is the peripheral of choice for flight simulators and vehicular combat games.
		With force feedback, the controller pushes back when you apply force to the control, attempting to mimic the way a real flight stick would resist, based on the position of the craft you're trying to pilot.
		Game controllers offer extra comfort and power, but keep in mind that not all games require or are enhanced by one.

	GamesFirst! \|\| Why Nintendo Gets It, or Why Sony Should Start Trying \| XB360,PS3,Revolution,
		Games became better looking and smarter, and because we had so many more options for control, games as diverse as Actraiser and Mortal Kombat are possible and become popular.
		The early addition of an analog joystick to the controller was first seen in the Nintendo 64 controller, and gamers were especially sold on it after Mario 64 demonstrated a 3D approach to platform gaming.
		Granted, games have been developed for Xbox that are brilliant, but even a look at the flagship franchise for Xbox, Halo, reveals the quintessential lack of innovation inherent in the vast majority of Xbox titles.

	Hands On with Novint's 3D Game Controller - Gizmodo
		That said; I doubt this 3D game controller will be providing the level of feedback the Phantom was, given that it's going to be 1/100th of the price.
		The number peripherals dedicated to gaming that have launched and failed within the last 10 years is huge.
		We have a bunch of similar devices at work with pen-like controllers which are used for 3-D sculpting, but they're nowhere near the price of this one (I've been told the price in £UK is the low end of 5-figures).

	New Video Game Controller Will Be Throwable \| Inventor Spot
		The controller is designed to be used in many different ways, and on various different gaming platforms.
		The crazy thing about this controller is that it has built in sensors and gyroscopes that allow it to sense how far you throw the object, as well as how hard of an impact the controller makes with an object.
		The computer user could then pick from several different games in the program, which could be anything ranging from a distance throwing contest, to a speed throwing contest, to a simple game of catch.

	Review: CLIÉ Game Controller PEGA-GC10
		The game pad also comes with a drop-prevention strap that lets you connect the controller to the retaining point on the CLIE so you won't drop the device in case the controller becomes detached.
		The driver has controls to let you reassign keys to buttons, to enable/disable the game controller, and to enable "key emulation".
		While most games allow you to adjust their controls to fit the game controller, there are a few that use a fixed scheme, and if you adjust your key settings to match that, you'll just have to go back and readjust them later.

		But the controls were improved -- on the Odyssey, separate twistable dials controlled the movement of the paddle and the spin on the ball.
		Oh yeah -- and the rotate/thrust/fire control scheme that was too confusing for the public in 1971 became the basis for 1979's breakout hit Asteroids.
		The game was released in what was called a cocktail cabinet -- the monitor was set into a tabletop on top of which players could put their drinks.

	Electronic game controller (US5232223)
		An electronic game controller enables a game player to play a fishing game and to control an electronic game device.
		The reel includes an electronic circuit for sensing pushbutton switches which are depressed by the game player during game play and for sensing position sensing switches which are activated by the position in which the game controller is held.
		These features provide an electronic game controller which responds to actual fishing movements typically made during an actual fishing episode such as casting the line and reeling in the line in various directions to avoid natural obstacles.

	IGN: Top 10 Tuesday: Worst Game Controllers
		The games were challenging, but not in a good sense...with this thing, trying to get Pitfall Harry to jump over a gap was just as difficult as trying to stop him from running to the right.
		Please don't remove the D-pad on a controller in favor of a touch-sensitive surface.
		One of the stupidest controllers is also considered one of the most classic simply due to brilliant marketing known as "product placement." The Wizard, starring Fred Savage, was a 90 minute Nintendo commercial for Mattel's Power Glove and Super Mario Bros. 3, even so far as using both items in the movie trailer.
