"Controller Type" filter

A new standard filter request I have is "Controller Type". When playing all of these different consoles, you're going to want to use different controllers for different consoles/games and it'd be cool if you knew which controller you need to use for each console/game.

For example, the standard controller can be labeled as "gamepad" for consoles, and "mouse and keyboard" for PCs. Here's a list of potential controller types:

-Gamepad

-Mouse and Keyboard

-Wii Mote (for Wii)

-Balance Board (for Wii)

-Guitar (Guitar Hero/Rock Band)

-Drums (Guitar Hero/Rock Band)

-Microphone (Guitar Hero/Rock Band)

-Dance Pad (DDR and StepMania)

-Light Gun

-etc. (there are many more possibilities)

Having this as a standard filter, beneath play mode, would be great. When playing Wii, it's annoying figuring out which games need Wii Motes or Wii Pro Controllers. This would alleviate that problem.

A "View Controller Type" option in Big Box would be great too. It would make it easier to search for Light Gun games or Dance Pad games etc. for whenever you want to search for any and all games that use a specific controller type.
