If your interested check out this page for a fairly complete listing of all the Genesis third party controllers along with a few links under game controllers near the bottom of the page. Their are several more battarang 6 button variants available, I just don't want to fill out the topic with images.

I'm pretty sure you can. I don't have that particular device, but I always used extender cables for my Akklaim wireless IR Gen and SNES controller receivers. That way you can use them on any systems that support the controller standard, and you can put the sensor anywhere you need it to be.

How are the SNES wireless options?
It would take a lot for me to give up on my ASCII pads.

Awesome! Now I'm going to pick up some of those cables.

A lot of the controllers featured on that page look pretty sweet. I especially like the Competition Pro mark III.

Yeah, you know what I'm gonna be hunting for when I get back into fighting games.

Heh, one of them is called the "dual turbo." I mistakenly read that as "turbo duo."

I personally really enjoy the Model 1 Genesis with the Model 2 Sega CD. Like others have mentioned, you get superior audio for Genesis and the reliability of the Model 2 Sega CD. The best looking though is the original Model 1 Japanese Mega CD, that thing just looks amazing when you see it's purdy lights and such. Someone on Sega16 posted an unboxing video of one and it was a really cool watch.

Fairly complete? Doesn't even have Beeshu in there. Before the 6 button pads came in, I lived and breathed my Beeshu Striker pad with the built in headphone extension cord. Sadly, their similar SNES pad, the Angler, was the biggest waste of plastic this side of the Xbox Duke pads.

Even so, that's an awful lot of sexy controllers.

... I think I'll need to be alone a minute...
