Either way, the DC controller deals with most things just fine, tho I admit the lack of the C and Z buttons can only be considered a glaring oversight on SEGA's part back in the day - it effectively gave the DC fewer inputs than the Saturn.
Looking forward to seeing what comes of the BT controllers. If they completely lack latency it may be a way to stop me trailing controller extensions over my lounge floor
Roareye, the controller you seek was actually made back around 2010 or so, and a guy from here by the name of Spinksy bought the modded controller and cleaned up the design.
Please excuse the blurry nature of the picture, I actually had to retrieve a cached version in a search engine that was really bad quality. I never backed the pictures up when it was made. But if you want to know what they did, they tapped into the d-pad and copied that. Many FPS games on DC have PC-like controller customization such as in Half-Life and Quake, so you could make it work and keep the face buttons for other uses.
I can't find the video demonstration on YouTube the original creator of the controller made before Spinksy got his hands on it and cleaned up the design. I would actually add C and Z micro switches to the place where LB and RB are on 360/Xbone controllers to get full use of digital L and R.
