A list for special controllers/peripherals?

I saw the cool "list of lists" but was thinking maybe there should be a list of specialty controllers and peripherals as well.  Controllers like the NES Advantage didn't have any new functionality, but controllers like the Arkanoid spinner were unique to the gain, and may have even been required to play it.  The four player games are listed, but perhaps extra clarification over which were a "4 players at the same time" and whether they used the NES Satellite, the NES Four Score, "either" (not all games were compatible with both, many were though), or the Famicom Hori 4 player adapter. (apparently the same as the NES Four Score)  Controllers like the Power Glove were unique to some (mostly the pack in games I think) but could be used on other games. (poorly usually)

A separate list of peripherals, whether the Famicom keyboard with the basic program, or the cassette player (and the compatible programs), the disk drive, the 3d system, etc maybe relevant as well?  Or perhaps all this info is already somewhere else and doesn't need a topic here.  >_>

If added to the lists of lists i'll try and re-edit/formalize my list a little more.

List of games packaged with accessories, from the Lists thread, covers pretty much all of the specialty controllers.
