The story of Thumbcrusher Joystick
The Thumbcrusher stuck to the desk with four suction cups that let go at the worst possible moment. Its square orange top button needed a full-thumb press, and after a Saturday of space games, kids compared calluses at school. It came in a box with an airbrushed jet on it, which made every game feel at least thirty percent faster.
Fun fact
Serious players peeled off the suction cups and clamped it between their knees for maximum control during boss levels.
