Official Sony Dual Shock 2 Controller (Black) for Playstation 2. Features dual analogue control sticks with built-in Dual Shock 2. Made completely from high durability sponge but looks like the real deal.
Sponge? Yes sponge. And it would have an elastic lead as well.
Think about it, the number of times you've spent hours at an RPG only to suffer a powercut, what's the first thing you feel like doing? Yes, hurl that controller as far as you can.
Or when your PS2 decides its had enough for the day and just freezes up on you. Or when your mate comes around and beats you at Timesplitters. Or when you're JUST pipped at the post on F1 2001 by Michael Schumacher. It's at these moments when a substitute to the regular (and expensive) Dual Shock 2 would be handy.
As long as your Sponge Dual Shock was within handy reach, you could grab it and hurl it at your adversary, the wall, your cat, your girlfriend, your window, and hey presto, it bounces back to you on its elastic lead with no damage done. (Except you may hurt the feelings of your cat).
If you're having a real tantrum you can even throw it again! The Sponge Dual Shock will be available from all good gaming outlets as soon as I've got permission from Sony to copy their design and found a sponge manufacturer to make them for me.
My question is: How much is one of these worth?

My brother actually broke an N64 pad by throwing it onto the floor in rage...
Also, being made of sponge, it absorbs and sweat and stops your hand from slipping on the pad. Perfect for those intense multiplayer battles!

Are you going to further the range of peripherals if it is a success? : )
You could also market it with the idea that it also mops up accidental spilages.
