Perhaps one of the most interesting controllers for the NES is the Turbo Touch 360 (The one you see above is from my own collection).
Created by a Company known as Triax, this controller is unique in that it features a Touch-Sensitive Control Pad, as opposed to a regular D-Pad. It also features turbo buttons for the A and B buttons.
But is this thing any good? I personally think, yes, it's alright. It's certainly not perfect though. Here's the 411 on this thing.
It was advertised as a superior controller to regular, first party ones (Commercial at the bottom of this post). However, a lot of people didn't like it for whatever reason.
Using it myself, I found it to be easy at some points, and hard at other points. A perfect example is "The Adventures of Bayou Billy". The Turbo Buttons are handy for fighting the extremely tough enemies, especially when it comes to the first "Street Fighting" Boss in it. Now the Driving Stages, on the other hand...I could not get through them to save my life. The directional pad is VERY sensitive, which caused me to drive the truck like I was playing Twisted Metal. Needless to say, I lost all my lives pretty quickly.
Now, for the street fighting stages, the directional pad is okay. It's a lot easier to maneuver around using it, as opposed to a regular controller, but it CAN get annoying sometimes, having nothing to rest your thumb on.
Would I recommend this controller to my friends? Yes, I would, but I would NOT use it for driving games, unless you like crashing. 
Well, that's it for this post! Thanks for reading!
Oh, and here's that commercial I mentioned earlier:
