Paddles are the original "analog" controllers, allowing players to move objects on the screen with pinpoint precision. Another advantage is how a pair of paddles plug into a single jack, allowing the system to support up to four players simultaneously. A large fire button is located on the left side of the controller, and it's comfortable to push with your thumb. The only problem with these controllers is their propensity to become "jittery" over time. Although there are various ways to remedy this, these controllers fall into the high maintenance category.
