The Fukkokuban Sega Saturn Control Pad For PlayStation 2 is a game controller released by Sega Logistics Service (a subsidiary of Sega) on March 24, 2006.
It is essentially a replica of the Saturn Controller, but made specifically for the PlayStation 2. Unlike the original controller which has a sᴛᴀʀᴛ button, the replica has the sᴛᴀʀᴛ and sᴇʟᴇᴄᴛ buttons. It was available in Black, White, Grey, Purple and Snow White color variety.
Because it has a proprietary PlayStation controller port, it requires an third party adapter for connecting to the PC, but even then, it only work as a DirectInput controller with most adapters, requiring the use of wrappers in games that only use the XInput API.
