    Quickshot (I had a box full of their crappy wireless NES/Famicom controllers, they sucked so much...)
    PC Station

    These're the ones I can remember for the moment, I know I have more crap from lots of other brands, I'll have to look for them later...

    Is it Ascii that used to be Hori, or Hori that used to be Ascii? Only third-party controller maker I trust anymore.
