TBH I think #OUYA should've ditched their own #controllers and instead choose to rebadge a pair of 3rd party #Xbox360 #wired #USB Gamepads instead.

That would've saved them at least $50 per controller even if they customized it with #OUYA buttons.

Needless to say the OUYA is instrumental to pusing #Android onto #TV and creating a force for a #GamePad - #API on Android and basically kick off both a flood of cheap #AndroidTV and Android-based #MiniConsoles as well as #Apple including #Bluetooth Controller Support for the #AppleTV and games for it.

Got the Apple II Gamepad assembled and it works for playing Lode Runner, so it's looking good. The X/Y axes aren't quite at 128 in the center, but things work nonetheless.

Much credit to Blondihacks for the incredibly informative blog post on Apple II Gamepads, including notes on compensating for non-150K pots:
