My PC controller of many years has died out today, finally losing it's downhill fight with internal short circuiting. It was perfect in every way: perfect set-up for emulating, perfect sensitivity for fighting games, and programmable to work with pretty much anything, game or not. They no longer make those particular kinds of controllers and, in my experience, finding a good PC controller is only slight less difficult than finding the Holy Grail in Mob Dicks mouth while he swims in the Fountain of Youth. Even the company that made it only produces newer, yet oddly much shoddier versions of it.
You will be missed, my lovely controller.
