Atari 2600 controller. Joystick & button.

My parents bought us a Nintendo 64 for Christmas when it came out.

Never played any games or consoles that came in between those two. It was wild.

PS3

I appear to be quite young around here...

The NES controller. Though I like 2 at the time. First one I remember playing is the SNES controller.

Not a controller per say, but does a mouse and keyboard count?

N64, and no I'm still not sure how to hold it, I always end up walking funny.

Pong.

Radio Shack Pong game.

SNES

PS1. Unless mouse and keyboard counts….

I played many systems before the Dreamcast but I consider that controller my first.

Atari controller

We upgraded to a Wica controller (same thing as the Atari controller just with better parts so it didn’t break so easily.)

Yall making me feel like a little kid

Trackball/Portable computer keyboard, followed by NES

Vic-20 joystick and keyboard. And the rotary knob on the woodgrain "pong" game.

Sega Master System II

C64 joystick was the first (playing Professional Ski Simulator...) but the Mega Drive controller was the one I used everyday.

A PS1 controller (without analogs) 😊

I’ve just had to search for the right model but the earliest that I remember is the Coin Control Competition Pro 5000. We had it in a dark/deep blue colour.

I had tac-2 style joystick on my spectravideo sv-738

Technically NES but mostly N64. These days I just play everything on a PS5 controller. Pretty nice.

Keyboard and mouse, but when I started using computers I was so young that my hands were too small to hold the mouse properly, so I left clicked with my thumb up until three or four years ago when I got my first ergonomic mouse. Kinda funny how long habits can stay with you.

Xbox 360 controller. we got the console quite late, around 2012-ish? other than that we were mostly a pc household.

TI-99/4a keyboard.
