   Just missed out on picking up this crazy gamepad on eBay - if I hadn't had an early night I might've spotted it.

   Will you just look at this thing!? It's not a gameport device, it plugs in through PS/2 or a DIN port (with what look like adapters from one to the other). It's got Alt, Control and Delete buttons. It's got an enter button. It's got a second D-pad in the middle for some reason. The most normal thing about it is the "P" button, and that's saying something. #retrogaming #retrocomputing

     @timixretroplays @foone I can appreciate they abandoned the oversimplified ABXY or symbols and went with ALT CTRL INSERT SPACE ENTER DELETE.

     *that* has the goods!

     It feels like something I'd dream that @NanoRaptor and @foone conspired to make as a prank, and I bet it'll delight the both of them that it exists, but this was an actual, real thing you could buy for ten bucks back in 2004: https://web.archive.org/web/20040405183810/http://www.act-labs.com/scripts/proddetails.asp?pid=38
