NES Sansui Controller

[SlowCoder]

 

I got this is a stack of controllers. This particular one is a well-loved and played Sansui NES controller. My first non-Nintendo NES controller, and quite a nice one at that. It has a little weight to it which makes it comfortable to hold, and the buttons and D-pad are exactly the same size as the stock NES controller, making it quite easy to use. In fact, it appears that many of the internal parts are exactly the same. The turbo switches make playing Gyruss a lot easier to play. Interesting that they actually also included headphone jacks complete with volume control.

 

I bet this controller went for a pretty penny in its hey day. I am impressed with it, and I recommend that you try to get one if you haven't already.

This looks like a damn fine NES controller indeed! Do you know if they would work on PAL NES consoles as well?

I'm located in Europe, that's why I'm asking.

From the picture, it looks kinda cheap, so it's interesting to know that it actually isn't.

It's actually rather substantial. Thick plastic, and overall very well made in my opinion.
