      The worst has to go to the Phillips CDI. In fairness, this was designed primarily as a remote control, and there was a much better dedicated gaming controller available, but they believed this layout would be adequate for gaming.

        The Atari 5200 controller is also pretty legendarily bad. It doesn’t look all that bad for the time, but it’s so poorly designed that it practically doesn’t function.

        It doesn’t look that bad. And then you hold it. It’s like they made a controller based around the theme of stepping on Lego.
