There is of course the controls from the G.I. JOE movie. Borrowed from Amazon:

I'm guessing that the reason for this is the X-52's styling. It fits the sci-fi aesthetic they're going for better. By comparison, the TM, Logitech , and CH offerings all look more utilitarian. (On the other hand, I generally prefer that "it means business" non-gaudy look, even if Hollywood doesn't.)

And human sized robots piloted by tiny people are controlled with Warthogs, as seen in Doctor Who:

HA! That's awesome! They didn't even try to hide it behind a fancy facade, paint it, or even plug it in!
