I just received this controller today and have been playing some of my favorite Genesis and NES games through RetroArch for an hour and I have to say this is by far the best USB Controller is out there that I've ever had. Second hand. If you're a fan of the original Genesis 6 button controller that I own and are a fan of them and are looking for something to use for emulators, this is a must have. Of course I can't say anything about the durability, but the thing seems to be just as durable as the original. It feels the same in the hands, and even the cable feels comfortably soft but heavy. I have the blue color and it looks great.
