| has gloss | eng: The PlayStation control pad is Sonys first controller for the PlayStation, and is the precursor to the PlayStation Dual Analog Controller. The controller was based on Nintendos SNES controller and features all the same inputs (albeit with different labels) in almost the same configuration, as well as two additional shoulder buttons. It was the first controller to use the familiar PlayStation , , and button labels (other control pads tend to use letters or numbers as button labels). It was released alongside the original Playstation on December 3, 1994. Its format was abandoned after the Dual Analog version was popularized by 1998. |
