How much less could you care, exactly?
In my case, I specifically wanted my model 1 Genesis to have a model 2 CD as its companion. For some reason, I like how obnoxiously large the "super battleship formation" is.

Its an official Sega wireless controller receiver. It actually works great too if your console is sitting relatively close to where your hands sit when you play. They feel great and are my favorite offical genesis controllers with both the feel of the "battrangs" but the button quality and layout of the later models. I'ed use them more if my genesis in an awkward sitting location.
Holy shit. Do they sell non-wireless versions of those controllers?
I have a few wired six-button controllers but honestly, I hate how small they are. Why couldn't they make them big and round like the regular three-button controllers?
I really don't know why they didn't just stick with the battarang design, I know that a few third party Genesis controllers did just house 6 buttons inside what looked like the original shell but most of those looked kinda cheap.
The other problem with these controllers is that if you own an X'eye or a CDX it won't work. The way that it slots in is that is used the standard distance of the two controller ports to plug into the system, since the X'eye and CDX have different layouts it just wont fit. However I think you might be able to plug in a couple of the controller extension cables then plug the receiver into that...I think I'm going to try this.
I'm pretty sure you can. I don't have that particular device, but I always used extender cables for my Akklaim wireless IR Gen and SNES controller receivers. That way you can use them on any systems that support the controller standard, and you can put the sensor anywhere you need it to be.
You could try to get the controllers for the Model 3 Genesis, they're 6 button but the same size like the original 3 button ones. I borrowed the image from google, it's still on photobucket so I don't think I'm stealing bandwidth. I didn't want to have to re-host it somewhere else.
Wow, if I'd known model 3 had a cool controller like that, I might've gotten one.
Anyway, Sega CD 2 with Gen 1 might be ugly, but it's NOTHING next to the hosebeast that a Sega CD 1 with Gen 2 forms. Now that is gnaw your arm off to get away without waking it in the morning ugly.
Okay, I'm greatly exaggerating, but seriously it looks worse than the other way around.
