The neGcon is a unique analogue controller for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2.
The name is pronounced ne-gee-con, and comes for the Japanese word for the verb to twist, ねじる (nejiru)
There are two versions, the original white one, and a later black one with a revised shape to the grips and shoulder buttons..

Worth noting that some PS and PS2 steering wheels use the neGcon protocol, as does the Namco's PlayStation Volume Controller.
