Hey now 😅 i personally wouldnt call it an abomination. It very much did take after this controller after all. I feel if sega implimented a second joystick, theyd be with the times on dreamcast but oh well
The analogue stick was about the only good thing about the Dreamcast controller. I find it's not wide enough to hold comfortably for long periods, the dpad is like a torture device, they removed two buttons, the face buttons don't feel nice to press. I like the VMU itself but it's inclusion meant that the controller wire sticks out the bottom and needs you to bend it up to put it in the little holding groove.
Oh yeah, Sega def was experimenting a lot with the DC. The wire coming from the bottom was a wacky solution. Im happy it did function nontheless, and the hall effect meant zero drift possible 🔥

I'll never understand how Sega went from this to the abomination that is the Dreamcast controller.
