These look like a pretty good deal, anyone know where to find some pics, I only ask cause 3rd party controllers are sometimes kinda iffy, the one I have from Madcatz is nice enough though. I'd like to see what these things look like. thanks for the deal

I actually just ordered that $6.99 controller from buy.com on Monday. I haven't received it yet. My question is, it says it comes with rumble pack and "MCS". Any idea what that is? My only guess was a memory card? I noticed on Best Buy's site they had an AstroPad controller with a rumble pack and a standard memory card (not VMU) for $19.99. I wonder if it's the same thing? I should find out in a few days :)

The description on the website sez: "Dreamcast controller with built-in rumble and memory card slot." Looks to me like they're saying the controller has slots for the rumble pack & a memory card (which is normal). The rumble pack & memory card don't actually come with the controller. Thus, MCS = memory card slot.

Still a good deal tho. :) Thanks for posting it.

These are made by Docs. I'm still looking for a pic, no site seems to have a pic.

Best Buy will have SEGA DC controllers for $12.99 on Friday. Don't ever use 3rd party DC controllers, all the ones I've ever seen sucked.

"Don't ever use 3rd party DC controllers, all the ones I've ever seen sucked."
well, i like my interact astropads($5 at cc) just fine--better than my OFFICIAL dc controllers which ended with broken triggers after moderate use

for anyone that can find them, target should have the official dc controllers (like i said, i never liked them to begin with, stupid cord in the front anyway) in the system for $3.44 or something like that--i saw them for $7.40 two weeks or so ago
but don't bother calling

I can confirm that the $6.99 controller at Buy.com looks exactly like the wired ones linked to earlier in the thread. The D-pad is smoothed out instead of the familiar raised-cross pattern (not sure if I like it better or not). And it has built-in rumble with a memory card slot, as was proposed earlier. For $10 shipped it's not bad (mine came US Postal..ordered it Monday night, got it in the mail Saturday afternoon).

Can somebody who has one confirm whether the rumble is built-in, or whether it's just a rumble slot?

I've tried Naki controllers and they suck... In fact... they blow. HARD.

Of course that was back with the nintendo 64 a few years ago but I don't think I would buy one again.

So John, how do you like your controller?

How well does it work? How well built is it?

Would appreciate your letting us know!

I wish i saw this before. I just need a spare controller (4th controller for chu chu rocket) and dont want to spend much. Anyway, i was at target and saw another hot regional only deal. The 800slot mem card was 4 bucks and a rumble pack was 2.44. I picked up the rumble pack and now i just have to find a controller.
