Waggle it! The name a joystick/joypad thread
Simple thread, just name a particular joystick or joypad, get a point for each one that hasn't already been posted, any official pads should be called just that, "official (make) (model) pad". Let's see how many we can come up with, if they're unusual try to post a link too, discussion is also welcomed.
Rules
1) Only one pad or stick per post
2) No more posts until someone else has posted
3) Unpleasant experience stories posted along with a particular stick or pad may attract a further point.
4) Posting a pic is always good (Try your best)
5) Posting a pic with more than one of that particular joypad or stick will net you extra points

The Bug by Cheetah
Unpleasant experience story: The circular base of the joystick often used to bite the skin at the base of your thumb when you pushed hard left, usually leaving either a cut of blister, ouch!!!

Nah blisters were to be expected back in the day, my brother used to nibble at his competition pro eventually leaving a mangled stick, so much so that the stick used to cut in your hand when you used it, the micro switches lasted forever though.

Re: Waggle it! The name a joystick/joypad thread
Here we go then...The first stick that I spent a serious amount of time using! It was an analogue stick which offered a good deal of control, however the stick had one major flaw! It didn't self centre and instead the stick just stayed where it was left.
In games where you needed to keep the stick still, it was a nightmare and required precision control and a steady hand to get it centred! The feeling of frustration felt as you had guided the banshee (which you had to guide to follow the ground without going to high or without hitting the ground) almost all the way to the enemy wizard in the classic game Wizard War, only to drift up slightly too high and lose the banshee....was HUGE!
It was certainly a crazy stick and I therefore present to you the Official Dragon 32 Joystick!
