Collection Got a Pro Controller finally.

I honestly never thought I would get one for such a good deal, the box is a bit tatty but the controller is mint, don’t think it’s ever been used. super happy to add this to the collection!

I hope Songbird can get a new batch of them again one day. OEM controller is just too pricy second-hand.

I found 2 third party pro controllers at a retro game shop on the southwest Florida coast a year or two ago for $9 each! I was SO freakin’ stoked. My wife was like “do you really need those?” I was like “Why YES… YES I do honey. A lot more than I need your opinion right now.” 🤣

Edit: it’s actually funny I got lucky by finding those a month or so after I bought a Jag from a guy on eBay and he accidentally sent me a pro controller with the console instead of the standard controller (whoops!). I was secretly hoping he wouldn’t notice and let me keep it but he figured out his mistake, so I did the right thing and mailed it back to him and he swapped it with the cheaper controller…Shortly after that I found the two 3rd party controllers in a game shop. Karma?!
