This is what is special about this controller:Not only is it the very first PS1 pusher from the pre-Dualshock times, no, there's more. This particular controller was probably only sold for a short time and exclusively in Japan. It is apparently the smaller, lighter SCPH-1000 variant, which also has a shorter cable than later versions.
