Arcade pads, joysticks, wheels, wireless controllers, VR headsets – all of these gaming devices can be traced back to technology that was developed to help humanity live, work, and play faster and better. This new infographic explores the history of video game controllers starting from 1962, when an early gamepad was developed by computer programmer Bob Saunders to more efficiently play Spacewar!, which is famous for being the first widely distributed video game.
