Sega Saturn controller. Unplugged while my Uncle played Sonic and told me I was Tails.

My first controller was probably an NES knockoff. Nintendo never did (and still doesn't) sell consoles officially in my home country.

If you're not counting the GBA SP's controls, my first official controller was the Wii's Wiimotes.

An Atari 800 joystick, which was basically the same as the 2600 one. Many evenings spent playing Zaxxon, Miner 2049er, and so on, as well as simple games typed in from magazines.

Then I bought an NES and didn't look back. Super Mario Bros. was way more advanced, not only in terms of graphics but also the fluidity of movement and the game pad design. And it was more fun!

Technically NES but mostly N64. These days I just play everything on a PS5 controller. Pretty nice.

The weird-ass Dreamcast controller. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619JtZlXpWL.jpg

I never did figure out what the slot in the top was for as a kid.
