🎮 Retro-Bit Official Sega Genesis USB Controller: Arcade Pad for Sega Genesis Mini, Switch, PC, Mac, Steam, RetroPie, Raspberry Pi - Clear Blue Review

fantastic! Everything about it is fantastic. It works great with our raspberry pi, works great with our super retrocad, and works great on our computers! It's just like buying a brand new Sega controller at the store today. Bravo retro beat!

I just received this controller today and have been playing some of my favorite Genesis and NES games through RetroArch for an hour and I have to say this is by far the best USB Controller is out there that I've ever had. Second hand. If you're a fan of the original Genesis 6 button controller that I own and are a fan of them and are looking for something to use for emulators, this is a must have. Of course I can't say anything about the durability, but the thing seems to be just as durable as…

Since the upcoming Sega Genesis Mini doesn't come with a 6-button controller, I wanted to get one in advance, as did other emulators and Steam, I wanted to use it for . Connects easily to my PC with no issues, setting up the controls in the emulators was also an easy task. It's been many years since I've actually used a real 6 button so it's hard to tell how close the quality compares to the original. Regardless, it's a pleasure to use and has always been a childhood favorite. The D-Pad is…

Okay, I'll try to explain as best I can. If you're using this on a retropi it works great BUT it would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to toggle Z with L and C with R (this is done by holding select=Right and Left for 3 seconds). So on a SNES emulator you might have the right button layout for fighting games like Killer Instinct, but when you boot up F-Zero, for example, you still have side buttons for tight corners. Well, if not, yes, I deduct 3 stars for that, the size is getting closer…

The weight, feel, buttons and d-pad all feel ultra premium, just like the original Genesis/Mega Drive controllers of the second generation of Sega. With additional buttons on the shoulder and an additional button labeled 'Mode' so you can also use this controller to emulate the Sega Saturn. This controller works natively with the Blast 16 project, and when you use the "mode" button as the software's "hot key" button, it provides a wonderful interface for toggling, saving/loading state, exiting…

Transparent Blue USB Gamepad Week in Review --- This is a great controller for PC and Android game emulations. Your mileage may vary depending on the emulator and the way it handles USB controllers, but for most systems that can handle this type of button and d-pad layout, you can't do better. The extra L and R buttons on the top are a welcome addition and work well for GBA, GBC, and SNES configurations when needed. Build quality and a very long cord are reliable parts. This controller FEEL…

I was a Sega kid in the 16-bit and 32-bit days and loved the original 6-button Genesis controllers and the Saturn controllers. To that end, there have been some troubles in the post-console years, with controllers attempting to emulate the "home style" of Sega tablets failing in many, if not all, aspects. When word got out that Retro-bit would be working with Sega to create new pads based on the original plans, I was initially skeptical. However, after receiving it, I found that it was the same

As a seasoned collector of retro games, I want to clarify that I have many official releases of SEGA systems, games and especially their legendary controllers. SEGA controllers have always had a nice bold feel with a semi-glossy/matte feel, a very special dot in between. Officially licensed by SEGA, this RetroBit controller is as modern as can be. The feel is almost the same as the original 6-button pads, but also slightly different in texture to meet today's needs. At first glance, the…

Mine arrived a day early (thanks Revane!) allowing me to spend a lovely few hours on a Saturday night playing old classic Genesis games, everything from Sonic to NBA Jam, from Super Hang On to shooters like Steel Empire and run 'n gun games like Mega Turrican and Gunstar Heroes. This is a wonderful controller. It feels great in hand. The cross feels great and is very tight and responsive. The buttons are comfortable and feel comfortable. The controller looks cool too and I love the official…
