  • Most authentic reproduction I've seen and a great controller
Color: Black
Disclaimer: I never owned a Sega Genesis or any Sega console back in the day. I was a Nintendo kid. But, I loved playing Sega at my friend's houses. I can't remember exactly what the controller felt like, but this controller still gives me a hefty dose of nostalgia. And, simply put, it is my favorite controller now to play arcade, fighting games, and classic Sega games. The buttons are tight and responsive and the d-pad, while not as accurate as many of the Nintendo SNES reproductions, is perfectly serviceable and works great for games where you need to rotate the pad (such as fighting games). And you can't beat this for the authentic feel when playing Sonic. I loved this controller so much that I bought a 2nd so that my 4 year old and I can play some ToeJam & Earl. One thing of note, the button mapping can be a bit tricky. Thankfully, the controller can be switched between D-input and X-input, but it seems that unplugging the controller resets this. Also, it doesn't play nice with ScpToolkit for those of you like me who use PS3 controllers on your computer. I uninstall the driver before plugging this controller in each time, and reinstall them when I want to switch back to using my PS3 controller. If I don't, some of the buttons won't work on the controller. But, it is really ScpToolkit's fault, so can't fault the controller. ... show more

  • Shockingly Accurate Recreation
Color: Black
A controller that feels authentic for your genesis games. This is the real deal. -Amazing D-pad. -Responsive buttons -Great shape -Authentic genesis controller size & weight There's a reason Sega put their seal of quality on this. Plugs in via USB and is perfect for your genesis mini (plus works on PC, Switch, etc.) The added L and R shoulder buttons are a great option to have, as well as the "mode" button which can act as a SELECT stand-in for certain games. Cord length is generous, and made of a flexible material. Overall? Incredible recreation of this classic design, strongly recommended for classic Sega fans. MY ONLY COMPLAINT: One of the two controllers I ordered (got one black and one clear blue) arrived with shipping labels straight on the packaging for the controller itself. No outer box, no bag, just the controller box with labels stuck right on the face of it. With some patience I was able to peel it off with nothing left ruining the box art, but that certainly wasn't ideal. More of a warehouse issue than anything to do with this controller, really. The other controller I received arrived in a bag, in perfect condition. The product itself, and retro-bit in general are definitely worthy purchases. Game on, gamers. ... show more

  • Works Great So Far
Color: Black
I picked up this item to have a better game pad for my PC. Other non-brand name controllers I have purchased have had an analog stick, and games I plug them into seem to prioritize the stick over the pad, and can be a pain to use. The controller has ten buttons: A, B, C, X, Y, Z, Option, Mode, L shoulder and R shoulder. Most systems should be able to configure them. The controller is comfortable, but I think I would have preferred it to be about 10-15% bigger. Upon plugging in, there were no problems with my PC being able to recognize it. I've only tested it on a few games, as follows: - MAME: Street Fighter II: Champion Edition. I had no major problems pulling off complicated moves. However, sometimes moving from down to forward (for those motions) could be a bit difficult, and found myself remaining in the down position. - STEAM: Cuphead. I had no problems using the main buttons for this game, but it wouldn't recognize the L and R shoulder buttons. - STEAM: Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid. Worked great, but I seemed to have the same issue with down to forward, as I wrote above for MAME. Also, it did not appear to recognize the L and R shoulder buttons. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, and usability with my PC. ... show more

  • Excellent Sega controller
Color: Black
I tested this Retro-Bit Sega controller in RetroArch (Steam, Windows 10) on various arcade and Genesis titles; and playing games like Altered Beast, Strider, and Revenge of Shinobi felt like a breeze. The controller plays/feels like the old Genesis Model 3 controller from what I can recall, and I would not be surprised if Retro-Bit had access to Sega's designs. Buy this if you appreciate Sega products and quality controllers. The Sega "Official Seal of Quality" is genuine with this one; especially with it's really low price ($20 at the time of this review). Pros: - Nearly the same as a Model 3 Genesis controller. - Very responsive when testing familiar games; and being a cord-based controller, I detected no noticeable lag. Neutral issues: - D-pad has a "clicky" feel that I'm not used to; I thought the older Model 3 controller had a more "floaty" D-pad similar to the Logitech F310. - A, B, and C buttons are slightly raised in a way that may feel odd at first when sliding your thumb over them while pressing down on another (i.e. holding down B while moving to press C as well); yet it is easy to get used to. - Lacks the turbo buttons of the original Model 3 controller. - The cord is a great length for playing away from a large screen t.v., but long and obnoxious for PC players. Con, yet not a deal breaker: - Lack of weight in the controller itself. ... show more
