Super NES USB Gamepad Now for PC Gaming

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

It's a classic controller for your gaming PC.

The Xbox 360 controller has become the defacto standard for PC gamers looking to play with their thumbs. But what if the extra analog triggers and thumbsticks don't please you, making you wish for a controller layout from a more simple time?

Japanese PC accessories maker Buffalo has created a USB gamepad that's completely reminiscent of the Japanese Super Nintendo (known as the Super Famicom) controller, complete with the color-coded buttons.

It's available from Geek Stuff 4 U for ¥2,700, which is around $30.

Personally I would've put the turbo and clear buttons underneath the pad to maintain the aesthetic - they're programming buttons by the look of it so you wouldn't need them during the course of a game.

Easily the best pad for Street Fighter!

This was also the design for the PAL SNES controller. :)
