For some teams implicating more complex designs, a game controller is the perfect option. Game controllers were designed to give the maximum amount of controls in the smallest amount of space with usability a huge factor. Take a plain xbox controller, one xbox controller is the same as having two joysticks, 8 push buttons, and two more analog inputs. Do you realize how much space that would take up, let alone using all of those controls? With teams operating on a few hundred dollars, a plain old xbox controller can be bought even used for 10 bucks or so. seems like it can't be beat in my opinion.
