Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Retro-Bit Official Sega Genesis USB Controller: Arcade Pad for Sega Genesis Mini, Switch, PC, Mac, Steam, RetroPie, Raspberry Pi - Clear Blue by Steven Loy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the top five controllers

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 exceptionally well made, the most comfortable and accurate I've used in a long time. I've tried it in a variety of genres and they all work spectacularly, action movies of course. The added L and R buttons are a great new touch and they don't feel out of place where they are, the cord length is great, 10ft is more than enough. The pure blue color is an eye-catching design, I can't wait to use it with the Genesis Mini soon. I can only hope that the build quality will hold up over the long term. I'll definitely check it out over the next few months. This is a great addition for anyone using emulators, especially Mame and of course Genesis.
