So i had a dreamcast 20 some years ago, it was awesome but got destroyed in a flood. I would buy another one but I have way too mamy consoles already. I was messing with emulating and I tried looking everywhere for any dreamcast style controllers for use with pc, or adapters, and really didnt find anything, except maybe the blissbox? I like to at least have the right controller vs just playing everytbing with a ps2 controller..

As MurrayL said, Raphnet-Tech is your best option for adapters.

However, I would honestly recommend picking up an Xbox Series X controller. The build quality is pretty nice, and it's super comfortable in the hand. It has the exact same button layout as the Dreamcast including triggers, just with an extra stick and the bumper buttons, so it's perfect for Dreamcast emulation. Plus, you can use it on all your other games as well.

I agree. I don't own any consoles, but I have 2x Xbox controllers for steam link or PC gaming. Quality is superb. They're roughly $60 new and I got exactly what I wanted.

If you use yours for general PC gaming, I recommend the DualSense as well, whenever you're in the market for a new controller.

You can use the touchpad as a mousepad. Which is awesome if I never wanna worry about getting up from the couch to mess with the mouse.
