    Not a controller per say, but does a mouse and keyboard count?

    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.)

    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.

    C64 joystick was the first (playing Professional Ski Simulator…) but the Mega Drive controller was the one I used everyday.
