Didn't the Jaguar have a gigantic controller with like 15-20 buttons?

Oh, yeah, it wasn't the complication that made the 5200 conttoller bad, the stick was literally terrible and they broke ALL the time.

Think the current problem with stick drift only 100x worse.

I'm actually amazed there are still functional 5200 controllers out there.

The Jaguar controller was pretty standard by comparison.

It gets a bad rep but was actually quite comfortable.
