Why the Hori Slime PS4 Pad is Unforgettable
When you use as much gear as I do, there’s bound to be that one item that sticks with you—whether it’s because the design won you over despite its lack of practicality, or because your hands keep reaching for it even though it’s ugly. For me, there’s one game controller that captured my attention not with performance or popularity, but with a unique concept. Lol.
Gaming Gear is Best When Limited Edition
The protagonist of this story is the ‘Hori Wired Controller Light: Dragon Quest Slime Edition for PS4,’ released during the PlayStation 4 era. The blue slime’s shape is integrated directly into the front of the controller, and it captured my heart at first sight.
The problem was that this product wasn’t officially released in Korea. Since I couldn’t even find it locally, I had to go through the hassle of importing it from Amazon Japan. Worried that it might break or lose its collector’s value, I ended up buying three at once, with the thought of potentially selling the others later. Lol. You might think I’m over the top, but the satisfaction of holding it in my hands made it worth it.
Isn’t the Slime Limited Edition Design Appealing?
As you can see, the biggest charm lies in the placement of the front joysticks. The design, which aligns the left analog stick perfectly with the character’s round eyes, left a deep impression on me every time I looked at it. Lol. It’s more accurate to view it as a character collectible rather than a simple game controller.
Of course, it’s not a device that satisfies you functionally. It’s a bit small for an adult with large hands to hold, so it’s hard to ignore the wrist fatigue after long play sessions. The wired connection, which requires plugging in a cable every time, is also quite cumbersome.
Nevertheless, this controller has a power to change the atmosphere of my desk just by sitting there. Don’t you agree? Lol. It had a strange charm that perfectly compensated for its performance shortcomings with visual joy and collectible value.
Wrapping Up…
It is truly enjoyable to find and use items filled with your own personal taste. While popular equipment used by everyone is great, items you’ve put in the effort to hunt down tend to stay in your memory for a long time. What is the most memorable game controller that has brought joy to your hands?
