==Design and functionality== Whereas most controllers used a [[D-pad]] with mechanical switches, the Turbo Touch had an octagonal plate with eight [[capacitive]] touch sensors arranged in the cardinal directions; contrary to the "360" name, the controller only provided digital input along the cardinal directions. The idea was that the controller could be operated with less physical force, reducing thumb injuries and "numb thumb", thereby improving player comfort and health. The controller was endorsed by Dr. Robert Grossman, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports injuries.<ref>''Gamesmaster'' magazine issue 1, 1993</ref> Other than the touchpad, the controllers have a standard set of features typical for controllers of the time, with [[turbo button|turbo]] support.
