  Kinda? Idk I guess to my mind, “weird controllers” is distinct from “peripherals”, but i can’t really explain how.

    Well, a controller is more general I guess

    Nintendo labo had some wacky stuff

      tbh i might just be inclined to view older peripherals as controllers? Which isn’t exactly clear and logical. Idk, i guess the counter to that is that I would consider Guitar Hero guitars “peripherals” rather than “controllers”, so you maybe it is a “general” vs “specific” thing. Except a lot of these controllers we’re talking about were only officially supported by like, 5 games at most. So i’m back to not knowing the difference haha.
