20 Best Video Game Controllers Ever

9. Konix Navigator

Number 16 on this list showcased the Konix Speedking but that device could only be held in the left hand. Konix noted that this was a limitation and so designed the Navigator, a gun shaped joystick with the stick on top that worked in either hand. Though not the first gun available for a console, the NES having the light gun for example, the Navigator offered a true trigger placement and an eight way joystick. Thus, a game could be played and controlled with what truly felt like a real gun. On the top of that was an auto fire option making this joystick fully automatic.
