Get a unique look at how controllers evolved into intricate devices, transforming games into immersive tactile adventures. Join our virtual CT scan journey through Xbox, PS5, and SNES gamepads.
Why did they use an Xbox Series controller and a PS5 controller, which are both current generation controllers, and then choose to go with a SNES controller rather than a Switch Pro or Joycons
Because the joystick caused the controllers to keep drifting off the table. They decided to go retro after that so they didn’t have to deal with joycon drift with absolute surety. CT scans are not cheap to run when you keep having to redo them when the drift happens.

Rules:
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
Holy crap! Thanks for the website, it’s great.
It’s hard on the eyes on mobile, though, because the brightly colored images are right under the text I’m trying to read.
Turn it into dark mode
I did, it didn’t help.
This is awesome! Thanks!

Because they wanted to compare the original SNES controller and the SNES controller for the Switch.
