Engadget - Dream Cheeky's metal joypad makes the best of projectiles

Today's generations of gee-whiz graphics and analog controls have brought with them one unfortunate addition: beefy, expensive wireless controllers that we're loathe to dash against the floor or to bash against an adjacent sibling. The creatively-termed "USB Metal Game Pad" from Dream Cheeky is just what it says on the box, doing your basic assortment of SNES-era joypad work with some USB pluggability and Mac / PC compatibility, but being conveniently built out of metal. Sure, it looks shoddy and uninspired, but we wouldn't have it any other way. No word on price or where to nab one.

Yuck

 

awww c'mon... if you're going for an all-metal controller, surely something more elegant is in order?

All elegance aside. It doesn't look to be confortable in the hand.

 

Playstation-like controllers fit in the hands, and all buttons are positioned so that your fingers can easily reach them.

This one looks ... difficult to play with for a while.
