Everything was fine with the controller. The only negative thing is the 10 foot cord is really stiff but that's very minor because I think it will relax with time.

They were of good quality, worth the price, functional, easy to manipulate, but unfortunately they were not compatible with my cousin’s console. I got him the wrong controllers. I sent them before thinking of taking photos of them.

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.

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!

Overall summary : THIS CONTROLLER WORKS! even with both same controller plugged in.Pro- detected and drivers installed by windows 10- works on software without issues like FCEUX 2.6.4, FUSION 3.64, MAME 251b- two of this controller connected works without conflict as player1 & player2- cable is extra long compared to usual cable length of others like LogitechCon- detected by windows as "generic controller" (but seriously this is just a naming assignment. it can be renamed to SEGA controller with a little registry edit. Being detected as generic is not a basis that it is a low quality controller)- if you use two of these they will be shown under windows game controller with same exact name. (just remember that the one on top of the list is the controller you plugged in 1st)- you have to assign controller in software or game when 1st time use. its not a plug n play thing. (this is a normal step get someone to assist you with setup if needed)Tip: when using two of these leave at least the one you picked as player one plugged in. Otherwise they may get switched when reconnected. Your player 1 controller is now player 2 and you start pulling your hair coz your controller wont respond. Avoid getting bald spots and leave player one connected.

This controller is the best Genesis controller for pc, and the mini, I have found. Holding an original Genesis controller and then this one you see how closely they have reproduced the original feel. I wanted the cable version as well, as that’s what the original had. It’s important to note that there are 2 modes you can switch between. One causes Steam to recognize the controller as a fully functional modern game pad (uses an Xbox template) However this mode does not use the “C” button by default. The other mode allows full remapping (enable generic gamepad and use that as controller type). On Steam, be sure to map the d pad as if it were a left analog stick which only uses an x and y axis instead of mapping the 4 directional buttons separately. Other than that, you can map the rest of the buttons however you want! I used remapping that sets it up as an original Genesis controller, utilizing the A, B and C buttons as they were on the console, but map however you want! All in all, I love it and have been having a blast!

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 & weightThere'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.

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.

I've tried several of these retro-type PC game pads over the years. It's been fairly hit or miss when it comes to quality but it seems recently there's been an increase in the variety that has come out. Nowadays we even have a bunch of console specific ones rather than just generic PC gamepads. Most look good in the pictures but end up being cheap knock offs with shoddy controls and poor response when you actually play them. One of the better ones I tried was the iBuffalo SNES style pads but while those are very close, I now prefer this Genesis pad over that as my go to retro controller. While this does have the layout and feel of a Sega Genesis pad, with the additional l/r shoulder buttons it makes it versatile for pretty much anything sans analog sticks (which is what you'd expect). You also have the option to play fighting games with a true 6 button face layout which is something you can't do with most other pads. The buttons are a bit floaty which can be a preference. This is actually accurate to the real thing though. The d-pad is a bit on the floaty side as well. Subjectively I feel this might be a bit more than the original (more than the stock 3 button pad for sure) was but in any case it's looser than most pads (except maybe Logitech) but when it comes to actual play it doesn't hinder anything at all. Just use less mash and more roll. The d-pad is usually the weak link between a good and bad pad and I still think it's one of the better ones. All in all, this is a pretty solid pad and I'd recommend it especially if you like the layout of a Sega Genesis pad. I don't know if it's a 1:1 replica of the original but it's a decent pad regardless.
