Looking for a TINY usb game controller

[deevergote]

I just fired up my old SNES emulator on my Acer netbook. Now, the Acer is a tiny machine. I love it because it's so compact. All the game controllers I have are nearly as large as the computer itself!

I searched briefly, and I can't find anything. I figured I'd ask you guys and see if you know of anything.

I'd be happy with a crosspad and 2 buttons. I don't think I'll be playing anything that uses all 4 buttons regularly (and for minor functions, I can just assign them to keyboard keys). The smaller, the better! Cheap is good too. I play RPGs, so I don't really need precise operation.

I just found that one after I posted. That exact page, in fact!
That's the only one I could find though. I guess that's my best option! It looks like they go for like $40. I'm shocked there aren't little NES style ripoffs floating around...

Yea man I think that one is the smallest you are going to find. They do have nes style usb controllers though. Here is a link:

There's 1 I found, same principle, with a retractable usb cord. Have you seen the little guitars? those look pretty cool

that's what i use to play emulator games with and it only cost me like 7 bucks back in the day. it's like the old PSX controller before they added the dual shock,.

[deevergote]

Yeah, the PS style ones are too big. The NES one is cool, but at $30, that first one is still the best option!

It's weird that there aren't more available. Everything else comes in tiny size... why aren't controllers a popular mini item?

Thanks guys. I'll probably order that first folding one. The black one that nine_deuce found is cool, but it looks from that article that it's euro only. I've found the first one for sale on ebay already.

too big? man i must have large monkey hands then because they fit perfectly in them.

I'm looking for tiny. TINY (hence the capital letters in the title)
Not because I have small hands. Not because I don't already have 6 normal sized game pads. Mainly because I want to have this in my car so I can play my game while I'm at work. I don't care to have a full sized PS style controller flying around my already miniature car.

Ooh, nice find Matt! I didn't see that one!

I wish they gave dimensions... looks like it'd be about the size of a Genesis controller.

I'm hoping for something like the control part of a GBA SP

They are saying its TINY and what not... but for the price, its a cheaper alternative... even its not as small as the other posted...

[deevergote]

Very true.

I wish I knew how to make my own.
