At E3 this past week, Microsoft and Capcom unveiled their 40 button control station for the X-Box's 'realistic' mech simulator Steel Battalion. On the same day, Nintendo and Sega unveiled the new keyboard peripheral for use with the Gamecube version of Phantasy Star Online, which can only be described as the world's largest conventional controller with a keyboard stuck between the directional pad and the usual buttons."

The PS/PS2 dual shock controllers are by far the most comfortable in the industry. If Microsoft would have paid attention to Sony's design rather than the Dreamcast controller design, they would have made a much better product.
