Quite Costly.

If you've got no hang ups with eBay, you should be able to find some brand new ones. I got a clear yellow one from a seller called callistoo last year for around $10 plus shipping. I believe he still has few in stock.

If you have a way to bid by proxy (such as Celga), sometimes interesting DC stuff shows up on Yahoo Japan's auctions.

In 2000 and into 2001, Sega offered it's Millenium edition "colored" DC controllers that came in several different color schemes. That even included some Millenium edition "colored" VMUs as well. I have a crystal blue and crystal gray colored VMUs that are semi-transparent for that cool see-through effect. Sega did offer some of it's DC stock controllers in the Millenium edition colors for the USA market in 2001 (towards the end of it's USA DC market). If you missed them, then check them out on eBay...they shouldn't be that expensive to get.

I bought a new clear blue pad off ebay last year but it feels really shitty, wobbly dpad, very loose analog stick and different triggers to the usual pads. Plus it seems to have a totally different PCB to my blue Millenium pad. Is this some sort of fake knock off pad or did Sega just throw out a few on the cheap?

I was wondering that. I have a similar pad (dark grey crystal) that I suspect to be a knock-off. The D-pad is just wobbly and crap beyond belief.

Wow. I thought I had a defective one. I had the same wobbly analog stick problem. It was so bad that if you tilted the controller level it would register. I tossed it in the trash about a year ago (it was also blue).

I've seen some with "Millennium 2000" marked on the controller, and some without. Were the marked ones released in the States? Or were marked ones and un-marked ones released simultaneously? (I completely missed out on the DC when it was in stores

)

Oh, and for the original poster, I found a leopard print Pointcast controller and a limited-run SGGG VMU on auction. Both from Japan, so the shipping will be high, though. This clear black Millennium controller didn't have an adequate description in the auction, so it's being sold for cheap. It has the "Millennium 2000" marking on it.

Sega of America released it's Millennium 2000 DC controllers in the USA in the original white DC stock controller boxes but with a special sticker stating what color it was. Of course, there were 3rd-party knock-offs of the DC stock controller being sold in clear see-through colored schemes but not built as solidly as the official 1st part Sega DC stock 'colored" controllers.

After having inspected my 'official' transparent black controller next to a real official controller, it's apparent that it is indeed a knock-off.

Still, I now use the excellent (imo) Madcatz Dream Pad as my main pad for non-shooting games anyway, so I'm not too fussed

I have a white official (I believe) Sega pad, and the analog stick doesn't wobble, but the thumb grip itself can rotate about, say, 2-5 degrees, making it tough to walk in a straight line. I've dismantled the controller and looked to see if there was any obvious way to repair it, or see if something was broken off, but I didn't see anything. Since this is the only DC controller I have, is the rotation normal? If not, any suggestions of how to fix it?

That's normal.
