That Ol' Atari Claw!

Here at Prodigy, we care... about your hands. "Atari Claw" (or also known as 'joystick thumb' if you use your thumb on the joystick) is a real thing, as the Atari 2600 joystick causes massive fatigue in the hand and wrists after inexperienced prolonged use.
Our solution is to offer a Nintendo NES style controller to use, with a smooth D pad. Of course, you can also use a Sega Genesis controller, but we like this Atari branded one.
Who else does this?
