The Most Stupid Game Controllers Ever Made On Earth

Game controllers are supposed to help us playing games. A controller must include the most basic buttons, but their functions, additional features, and looks vary depending on how creative and ambitious makers are. We have found here some of the craziest game controllers ever created on the planet, they look cool and stylish, for sure, but we can't say they help you play games better.

The Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Controller

This controller was released in 2005 for the GameCube. It has a unique design inspired by the weapon of choice of an enemy in the Resident Evil horror game. It was meant for complimenting the game and aimed to offer every standard functionality of a GameCube controller in a blood-covered package. While there’s nothing to complain about its look, the controller is definitely not the best for handling when you’re playing the game.

On the face of the Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Controller, there is the start button, four primary buttons, the C stick, an analog stick, and the D-pad. The left shoulder button is placed on the controller’s front handle, the right shoulder and the Z button are placed on the left handle. No matter how you hold it, it’s no easy to reach all the buttons. But after all, it looks sick, doesn’t it?

Gears of War 4 Lancer Replica

This is a real-life sized model that was accurately modeled from the design files of the game. This special controller has some moving parts, like the crosshairs, clip, chainsaw handle, and the triggers. Besides, the controller features a fully operational torch that you can clip to the side of the lancer, it’s powered by three 3xAAA batteries. There is also some lightning just like in the game, which needs 4xC batteries; you can turn off these lights with the safety switch on the lancer’s left side.

However, this controller is for people 18 years or older. Younger children playing with this controller must be under parental guidance.

Katana: The Soul Controller

This controller was designed specifically for the game Onimusha 3 Demon Siege, and it looks just like a sword. One of the coolest things about this controller is swiping for attacks, thanks to a sensor picking up on sudden motion that's packed inside, regardless of the way you swing the controller.

The handle has all the four buttons so you don’t need to swipe to play. This controller surely looks cool but it may take some time for you to get used to swinging it around, which is why players may stick to their regular controllers in certain cases.

The blade is removable so you can just use the stump and are still able to swing the controller to attack. The Katana is a wireless controller that has eight channels to choose from that helps make sure you will get a clean signal. Its battery can last five hours, which can be expanded if you turn off the vibration motors.

HORI Dragon Quest Slime Controller

This must be one of the most bizarre controllers ever, just look at its shape. This PS4 controller resembles a slime, a monster in the Dragon Quest series, with analog sticks and buttons on its bottom. Also, there isn’t a curvature to rest your fingers.

To play with this controller, you hold it upside down with its smiley face looking towards you. It may feel weird at first, but after some time, you will get used to it can feel more comfortable.

This controller shares the same core functionality with the DualShock 4. It has all the regular face buttons, a touchpad, a share button, shoulder buttons, two symmetrical analog sticks, and a d-pad. In addition, there is a turbo button above the PlayStation button, which lets you toggle automatic inputs for things such as shooters. It the cutest controller on this list so far, isn’t it?

Wu-tang Controller

This controller is shaped like the symbol of the Wu-Tang Clan, released to commemorate the game Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style. The game wasn’t a hit, but this controller was amazing. It had all the buttons like the original PS1 controller but didn’t have the analog sticks or the vibration capabilities of the DualShock.

Death Crimson Controller

This is probably the weirdest game controllers ever created, either for the game Death Crimson or in the world. It’s basically a giant movable statue housing a Sega Saturn along with a copy of Death Crimson. Strange, but the controller is totally playable.

Mortal Kombat Fight Stick

This controller is built with a wooden framework, which makes it heavier but offset the effect on users thanks to the balanced distribution as well as soft padding on its bottom panel. The controller is also much taller compared with other fighting sticks, so it’s a little bulky and hard to store. However, users can surely benefit from its large, angles surfaces along with extra storage capacity through the flip-up panel.

So, these are the seven most stupid game controllers you've ever seen, probably ever created. They are solid proof that there are no limits to human creativity (and stupidity), we can make things work no matter what shape and size. These controllers are not that useful when it comes to gameplay, but the matter is only time until you get used to them and master them. Or, they can make a breath-taking game controller collections for you to keep in your place.
