Review on Retro Bit Official Controller 8 Button Raspberry by Robert Morrison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Old Gamer Approval

I've been playing retro games through PC emulators since the late 90's. Apart from some USB converters which are still very expensive, we have restricted the use of OEM gamepads. The OEM gamepads for the system just add more immersion in my opinion. It's great to see that there are so many options for hardware (not just gamepads), as classic games seem to have evolved from a little-known community of enthusiasts - programmers and gamers - into something for everyone to enjoy. I've tried this gamepad with all the popular retro gaming options with no setup issues. It works fine with my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ running Retroarch with Libretro kernels. The design and the feel of the gamepad are very good, indistinguishable from the original. A great buy for any enthusiast.

Pros
  • Video Games
Cons
