what is the best/worst gaming peripheral?

[buddee1]

I think its safe to say that controllers are never enough that's why many companies created peripherals. For those of you who dont know, a peripheral is something used to play the game besides a controller. Light guns, chainsaw controllers, power glove, or power pad there are just so many out there, I am sure that there are some that are popular and some that are not so if you are going to say one please explain what it does and why is it bad.
NOTE: DO NOT SAY THE ROBOTIC OPERATING BUDDY AS THE WORST. if you think it's bad than you obviously dont know his history

Whats an operating buddy?

I can't stand wireless controllers in general. They cost more and run out of batteries every immersion-breaking five minutes.

 

[Jedamethis]

Guitar hero guitar is good

The worst has got to be the up and coming vitality sensor.... I'm waiting to hear how thats going to do shit.

Opinions man, opinions. If people say that is the worst, let them.

As for me: I feel I need to give special mention to the U-Force as worst.
Guitar Hero Guitar as best.

They don't run out every 5-minutes. Depending how long and often I play my games, the battery life lasts from 2 weeks to 5 weeks

Best: Depends on the game it is used with.
Worst: That gaming system they attached to the blu-ray player.

a mouse is technically a peripheral.
so I say for best, my MX revolution.

 

[Radeonx]

Power Glove, or ROB. I hated both of those as a kid.

Best would probably be Guitar hero peripherals.

Well, to be fair I think it was the batteries I was using. I was trying those rechargable ones, and they were crap. But even so I still have a permanant grudge against wireless controllers.

Thats why you buy two, and ofcourse if wireless is a problem then why did you buy a xbox wireless remote.
I on the other hand had the sense to buy two playstation remotes, that way as i play with one the other sits there fully charged and awaiting my hand. and while i do that i can charge the dead controller with out worry.

Let's take this outside.. Souplex..

 

[NinjaRebel]

Guitar Hero/Rock Band it's best peripherals for all the instruments

Worst would have to be that new vitailty sensor, wtf is that supposed to accomplish?

Hang on. Buy two wireless ones... instead of one less expensive wired one?

I personally cannot comment on R.O.B, as I have never owned one. And no doubt that it has a good history. But if somebody disliked it, I feel that they should have the right to say so.

Wii Balance Board fits both categories. It's easy to use, and responsive. Too responsive.
