Retro Bit Official Controller 8 Button Raspberry Review

I have tried many so called Sega USB controllers and none of them reach the quality of this product. That's exactly what you've been missing, you'll instantly remember the feel of a real Sega Genesis gamepad. The size is right, the cable is very long with a very thick section that probably won't fall apart, even the weight is right, they did everything right with this product and the price is reasonable. Make sure you enable XINPUT for better compatibility. Just hold START + B for 5 seconds…

But only 1 complaint. I want the mode button to be moved above the start button. I often hit it when trying to access Start. Which is bad for retro games because select(mode) + start = exit game. Thought I didn't accidentally close the game. As for the shape of the mode button, that's the only reason it hasn't happened yet. They are superior to the SNES remotes I've used. No more bad D-pads or shoulder buttons to play 6-button Genesis games. Retropie has no problem recognizing these…

Accurate feel of a classic 6 button Genesis controller, to be honest it feels like a dream to use. There is a problem that I encountered upon arrival. When I first opened the box, the dpad was completely detached from the controller. recording time. After that they didn't contact me anymore. The dpad just came back and the controller seems to be working fine but I have to drop the quality score because opening up a new controller and finding a floating piece isn't the best first impression.…

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…

For those of us who remember Sega Genesis, the release of the six-button controller literally changed the game. The old three-button controller wasn't designed to advance in fighting games (e.g. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Eternal Champion) and this controller came to the rescue. I'm happy to report that this is an exact replica of the original controller. Feel, weight and balance are almost the same as almost 25 years ago. Years later this controller is still impressive, and the USB…

Disclaimer: I have never owned a Sega Genesis or any other Sega console. I was a Nintendo kid. But I enjoyed playing Sega at my friend's house. I can't remember exactly how the controller felt, but this controller still gives me a good dose of nostalgia. And, to put it simply, it's now my favorite controller for arcade, fighting, and classic Sega games. The buttons are firm and responsive, and the D-Pad, while not as precise as many Nintendo SNES reproductions, is still quite usable and works…
