They felt it "continues Sega's tradition of horrendous design and the Dreamcast controller is the worst of the worst, the parallel grips on the back immediately strain your wrists and the face buttons have their letters etched into them, making them rough and awkward to press." Graphics Pashpaw said the gamepads "were innovative for the time with the two slots in the controller for expansion," Kasper called them epic and Kenshin11 said they were "something else."

Nathan said the VMU's "ability to be played once removed from the controller was very interesting, though very few games actually took full advantage of this feature."

Mooney also pointed out that "one of the best features of the Dreamcast was how easy it was to use homebrew content," though "this may also be partially responsible for its demise since it made it easy for users to pirate games over P2P networks." Pashpaw saw it as a positive, saying that "the console's firmware supports CD playback too and later Dreamcasts can load in homebrew games for Windows NT with ease."
