Control pads were meant to be utilised by the gamer,not become stale and un-used.The one button that is subject to this is the select button.....Lets be honest,who uses the damn thing.i for sure dont.It is so pointless to put it in,never gets used.Who here agress with me?....I wish Sony wouldnt put the rubber in my pad.......

It's better yo under use than over use, if you know what I mean. Just look at banjo-Tooie - the plethora of new moves learnt make it impossible to remember them all unless you're a Rare programmer.

But this is my original name and I like it Shocky. I don't know if I should change it back either. Maybe I like reminding people of Cheatguru.........?!?!?!?!

HOW ABOUT THE MOST USELESS COMTROLLER OF ALL TIME: THE KEYBOARD!

Think about it... F1-F12 Does anyone remember what they do!

Break: used to stop old dos programs running

Pause: pauses old dos programs

Scroll lock and the Num pad: we already have a perfectly good set of numbers on the pad AND a page up/down button... why have a num pad and scroll lock too!

ALT Gr: What??? never ever used that one! We have mice now!
