Title: The controller I bought for a dollar... Post by: ChrisOFNA on October 30, 2015, 09:50:17 PM Hey guys, first time poster, please be gentle. :slick:
So I have a strange fascination with 3rd party controllers. I usually buy whichever ones I can find. However, I found one that I bought from a tag sale that I have no clue at all about it's origins other than it being made in China. It's for the NES and has a slow button, but it has an "AA" and "BB" button which is obviously not standard. I haven't really attempted to use it yet but I was wondering if anyone else has seen it or own one. I attached a picture of it to the thread. Title: Re: The controller I bought for a dollar...

I've been checking out Nintendo controllers recently, posted a thing showing the insides of the first party ones here: http://www.rfgeneration.com/blogs/nupoile/What-s-Inside-Nintendo-Controllers-3114.php Think I could convince you to take some pictures of the insides of that one? :D Title: Re: The controller I bought for a dollar...

The plastic looks about cheap and shoddy enough for it. Title: Re: The controller I bought for a dollar...

Yeah the controller looks like it belongs to the Family Boy series of FamiClones. Here is review with pics: http://electronicsgamesetc.blogspot.com/2011/02/family-boy-famiclone-review.html?m=1 The controller looks similar Title: Re: The controller I bought for a dollar...

Looks like it shares some of the same design characteristics as the 1st party controller, contact points and pads are certainly the same idea. I like that it has an led, those are always fun.

Post by: Speedy_NES on June 19, 2019, 12:18:11 PM FYI, this is the first Hyperkin-branded controller I believe, called the FC Super Loader, released in 2006. See attached photo. There were three different color combos available.
