If you usually shop around some online “geek stores” you’ve probably already seen something similar to this.
This USB pad, and it’s older D-Pad brother are almost alike (except for the navigational pad itself). They each have 8 buttons, and a Turbo and Clear button also (though I’m not entirely sure what the “Clear” button is for).
I wouldn’t trade it for my semi-old dual-analog joypad, however I wouldn’t mind acquiring one to bring along with my laptop. It beats carrying an XBox-sized controller around at least. No word on pricing yet, but you can acquire a clone of it for â¬30.79 in GeekStuff4You (non-affiliate link).
Well that seems to be a remarkably ingenious device.
