Review on πŸ•ΉοΈ Retro-Bit Sega Genesis 2.4 GHz Wireless Controller: Arcade Pad with 8 Buttons, Compatible with Sega Genesis Original/Mini, Switch, PC, Mac - Includes 2 Receivers & Storage Case - Black by Brent Webb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far so good. Also works on Atari 2600 and Retron 5!

So far, so good. The controller works well, although it feels a bit cheap. The PAIRING was an issue until I realized the directions were wrong. After connecting the receiver to the console port and pressing the start button on your controller (turning it on), you need to PRESS AND HOLD THE SYNC BUTTON ON THE RECEIVER AND THEN PRESS THE START BUTTON ON THE CONTROLLER. The biggest plus about this controller (which I've been waiting for) is that you can use the controller with your original Sega Genesis because it has an additional Sega Genesis receiver. BUT, most people don't know this, you can also use this receiver on your Retron 5 AND your original Atari 2600! Yeah right. Now you can play your original Atari 2600 wirelessly. The original Atari 2600 controller ports are the same as the Sega Genesis, meaning you can use the Genesis controllers on your Atari (that's how I play my old Atari games). I tested this wireless controller on both consoles and it actually works great. Good game!

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
