I remember when the ps4 came out, the controllers were $60. Why are they more expensive now?

    These controllers have been the same for 29 years. Given the improvements in manufacturing and material Sciences I’m surprised they aren’t $9.99

      For some reason I don’t seem to recall the touchpad on the bluetooth SNES controller.

        Maybe not a touchpad, but I DEFINITELY remember adaptive triggers while playing Super Mario Bros on NES. It made the jumps extra fun. Also the gyro controls on the card game were really neat.

        I wish they’d finally add other cool features to controllers since than rather than just the trackpad.
