gauauu: look, we all paid $10K at some point in our lives for the privilege of hanging out with Kevin
I like the dogbone but it seems like I try to keep them in good shape and not use them. You should get one just for collections sake. Be patient and you will get one at a good price. I think I have like 6. I like the regular brink controller and always used the power grips with mine when I first had an NES. I use the Messiah wireless NES pads most of the time these days.
