Revainrating 5 out of 5

Something die-hard SEGA fans have wanted for decades.

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 exactly like the original 2nd Gen Sega Genesis/Mega Drive controllers (no small kids) and the D-Pad is EXACT. Fighting games and any version of Tetris that you want to use cross-platform will work exactly as you type. I couldn't understand any lag that would affect my input and response. I will update as I try more games for Android, PC Steam and other console games. The packaging it comes in is of high quality and makes you think for a moment that you have a time machine and teleported the controller into your hands. Retro bit needs to be built into a USB flash drive or microSD card slot so that we can take some games with us no matter what computer we play. Upgrade update: Still a great controller for PC game emulation. As with any controller, some games or emulators may not always work, but when they do, it's perfect. It works great with Master System and Genesis games, as well as NES, Atari 2600/7800, MSX/MSX2 and SNES games (extra L and R keys help)!
