Product Description

The AsciiWare GamePad PSS is a third-party controller for the original PlayStation (PS1). Known for its unique design and additional features, it was a popular alternative to the standard Sony controller for gamers who wanted a more customised experience. The controller maintains a similar layout to the official PS1 controller, but often with slight ergonomic changes and a focus on extra functionality that was not available on the official model.

Bullet-pointed Features

• Built-in Turbo Function: The controller often included a dedicated turbo button or switches for individual buttons, allowing players to perform rapid, continuous presses in games that required quick button mashing.
• Customizable Settings: In some models, the turbo and slow-motion features could be adjusted with dials or switches, giving the player granular control over the speed.
• Ergonomic Design: While similar in a general sense, the AsciiWare controller had a slightly different feel and shape from the official controller, often with a more robust build and a longer cable.
• Durable Build: It was known for having a solid, sturdy feel, often with clicky buttons and a responsive D-pad that appealed to fighting game enthusiasts.
• Vibrating Functionality: Some later models included vibration functionality, a feature that was introduced with the DualShock controller.
