Sweet controller, I dig the turbo, tested it out with Track and Field. Who made this and is there a solid list and /or pictures of different nes controllers?
I've heard of the Zipper controller, never seen one...
Here's the link by the way...

The controller is fairly rare, but not very valuable. It does show up on eBay about once a month or so, mostly in loose condition (I've only seen one boxed one in the past 1-2 years), and generally sells for around $1-5 if memory serves me right. Shinsei also made an arcade stick in a similar theme, called the Hyper Stick:

The company that released them in Famicom format was Hori, if I'm not mistaken.

Cool,
the rarity is and isn't that important to me. I have the gold/black joycard too. I'm leaning on having a track n field contest when my friends come over, turbo on of course. It's funny to see them throw a javelin 135 meters! The stick sails further than the readings, you see 10 meters all over again!
Nothin but the roids...
I dig finding these offbrand controllers, especially when they are built good and with some features.
Paid a whopping 1.99 for it. Couldn't pass it up.
Bought 3 labeless atari carts the same time, and they were
Empire Strikes Back, Frogger, and River Raid. Hoping for a prototype, you never know!
