While the controller will serve the same purpose as a regular looking one, it would certainly make for a great addition for collectors.
This is more for collecting than use

And with the amount of work that’s gone into this, the wired and wireless controllers will cost $40 and $60, respectively. Even if you don’t need another controller, are you not the least bit tempted to buy this, even if it’s just for keeps?
Oh, that's so cool.
My wallet is going to hate me, though.— SilentBun Gaming (@SilentBun) August 27, 2023
This user agrees. Indeed, one for the collection.
I’m going to buy one just as a collector’s item because it’s truly beautiful and retro!

However, one thing we don’t know yet is whether the controllers will have rumble sensors or not. While the aesthetics of the controllers are amazing, some are concerned with the functionality.
No rumble motors, correct?
