One of the quirkiest and most peculiar pieces of gaming history is the ‘chainsaw controller’ that was released alongside Resident Evil 4. While it has earned a special place in the hearts of Resident Evil fans, it also stands as one of the most impractical gaming peripherals ever designed.
Manufactured by NubyTech in 2005, a limited run of 50,000 chainsaw controllers was produced. These unique controllers came in two variants: a yellow one for the Nintendo Gamecube and an orange one for the PlayStation 2. Each unit boasts a serial number, adding an element of uniqueness to every piece. These days, the chainsaw controller has become a sought-after collector’s item, with prices on auction sites like eBay ranging from $400 to $1,500, depending on the controller’s condition.
