Retro-Bit Official Sega Genesis USB Controller 8-Button Arcade Pad for Sega Genesis Mini, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, Steam, RetroPie, Raspberry Pi - USB Port - Black

Good quality controller.

I always liked my old Mega Drive 6-button pad so when I went looking for a pad to play Street Fighter 30th Anniversary collection this jumped out at me right away. I had to switch it to alternate mode (hold Start + B for 5 secs on menu screen) and remap one button (in-game, took maybe 20 secs) but other than that it worked right out of the box - no drivers, no fiddly configuration. I do need to unplug and replug it once at the start of each session but honestly it's much more compatible than I'd feared. Response is crisp and d-pad and buttons all have a good feel. It's light and easy to hold and so far I'm very pleased with it. Now if only I could regain the reflexes and muscle memory I had back then, I'd be in business.

I purchased this for my PC specifically because it replicates the Mega Drive controller extremely well as far as it how it feels in your hands and is wired which means no need to charge or change the batteries. But it doesn't matter because it doesn't work properly if it's in X-Input mode or D-Input mode the controller registers button 4 press when you press right on the controller dpad. The other issue I have with it is that there is no physical switch to change between x-input and d-input and it defaults to d-input. Maybe it could be fixed with firmware updates but this controller doesn't have any support for it AFAIK

Truly the best controller to enjoy 16-bit gaming. Accurate, responsive and enough buttons for any old school game. The simplicity of the technology means it's durable too! I've had mine for years!

I had some other controllers that looked like this however they were poor quality. This has a nice long cable and I've never had a problem with the buttons sticking. It is also immediately recognized correctly by the Retroarch program.

Excelente control. Funciona a la perfección con el Sega Genesis Mini y es mejor control que el original, ya que con sus botones adicionales mejora la experiencia de juego en varios títulos. El cable es largo y se mira de buena resistencia. El acabado es muy bueno y es bastante cómodo. Este control lo utilizo en un Genesis Mini con Hakchi CE y hasta ahora me ha funcionado a la perfección en diversos emuladores, sólo hay que configurar los botones para cada núcleo o título de ser necesario.

Bom acabamento e construção. Pelo preço certo, vale a pena.

This controller is a really accurate remake of the original controller. Retrobit has done a really great job making this! If you want to relive your sega genesis memories, this controller is for you! 🎮🕹
