Dream Pad
Made for: Sega Dreamcast
Manufacturer: Mad Catz

The Dream Pad is a third-party controller manufactured by Mad Catz for the Sega Dreamcast. Dream Pads are among the most common third-party controllers for the system and were sold in a variety of colours, including white, red, orange, green, blue, purple, black and transparent.

As well as providing the user with all the basic Dreamcast controller functions, it re-introduces C and Z buttons, which act as digital versions of L and R and are more useful for fighting games. There is also a turbo option, and is arguably more comfortable to hold.

The controller is not without its flaws. Though the thumbstick has a rubber layer on top, this layer is prone to falling off after repeated use. Furthermore the back triggers can get stuck.
