Atari 2600 followed by NES

3 button megadrive controller
Not a controller per say, but does a mouse and keyboard count?
Pong.
I played many systems before the Dreamcast but I consider that controller my first.
Trackball/Portable computer keyboard, followed by NES
Vic-20 joystick and keyboard. And the rotary knob on the woodgrain “pong” game.
Atari controller
We upgraded to a Wica controller (same thing as the Atari controller just with better parts so it didn’t break so easily.)
A PS1 controller (without analogs) 😊
Without analogs? Was it custom made… just kidding
Hahaah “back in my days”, dualshocks were luxurious things
My first controller was probably an NES knockoff. Nintendo never did (and still doesn’t) sell consoles officially in my home country.
If you’re not counting the GBA SP’s controls, my first official controller was the Wii’s Wiimotes.
Xbox 360 controller. we got the console quite late, around 2012-ish? other than that we were mostly a pc household.
Sega Master System II
C64 joystick was the first (playing Professional Ski Simulator…) but the Mega Drive controller was the one I used everyday.
