The ASCII Pad is the best controller ever.

I adore the original 6-button Genesis controller. The Majesco pad? Not so much. Mushy, flimsy buttons and an all-or-none turbo (slo-mo trade-off) function = sad gamers everywhere.

The auto-fire 6 button is good, for auto-fire, but that's it. The outer alpha buttons specifically A and Z don't have good support and over time as has happened with mine they can get stuck and or not press smoothly as originally.

The official 6 button by Sega, as has been discussed before is superb and arguably one of the most comfortable and well designed controllers for any system. In my view, only the Saturn pad [EDIT] Mk2 (or official Japanese pad) surpass it's comfort and overall execution.
