Retro-BitBIG6 USB Arcade Controller Pad for Sega Genesis Mini, Switch, PC, Mac, Steam, RetroPie, Raspberry Pi - USB Port - Black

I have no issues using this controller or with its og quality. Its heavy, firm button presses, and a perfect long and thick cord, feels identical to the original except the start button. Not a big difficulty but the start button isn't the old grey brick off to the middle that you can hit real quick, its a depressed, shaved off button that is kinda in a weird spot hovering with the top 3 buttons. Otherwise a fantastic product.

I saw a lot of people trying to steer people away from this. I had my original genesis controller, ready to compare this to. They feel pretty darn close to each other. It worked fine the first time I launched Sonic Mania on PC. It just felt right. It was the buttons I used to press to make sonic jump.And to be clear, it feels cheap compared to modern controllers, but so do the original genesis controllers. If they felt really premium, they wouldn't feel like the original hardware.

Decent retro gamepad. Feels a bit awkward in the hands but build quality feels durable. Jury is out on whether the silicon membrane on the face buttons will last particularly with daily use.

Handy wired controller that reminds me from when I had a Genesis. 6 button layout is a solid choice for some games. Also remapping is easy, I just need to figure that part out.

I recently purchased the SEGA usb controller. I really like the feel of the controller in my hands. It's very comfortable to use. And it's just really cool that's it's a licensed SEGA product!

I absolutely loved the feel and chunky grip of the original 3-button Genesis controller. The 6 Button controller had a significantly better D-Pad but felt too small and grip was not comfortable for me.This 6 Button (Actually 11 Buttons Including the L and R triggers, 2 buttons on bottom and start button) is a mix of the best from the original 3 and 6 button pads. I actually think this is the best most responsive D-Pad I've ever felt. It's not mushy IMO like the 6 Button and it's not too stiff like the 3 Button. The directional pad has a perfect very slight sticky feeling when you press down on the pad that makes you confident you pressed the right direction. It's also soft yet not mushy.Perfect Emulation pad if you don't need analog controls. Sometimes Retrobit Dpads have questionable build quality but in the full week that I've used it it's not shown a sign of weakness yet.

Feels, from what I remember, just like my original Genesis controllers from back in the 90's. I use this controller for Genesis, Sega CD, Saturn, and 3DO games using Batocera and it's worked well for me. I did have an issue the first attempt at mapping the controls in Batocera - it didn't seem to register half the buttons. After restarting Batocera the issue went away and I was able to map the entire controller without issue.Overall a great deal! If you don't have your old Genesis carts anymore, this is probably the way to go with an emulator to relive your old school gaming experiences. I almost gave into a Sega clone console with an everdrive cart - but that would have cost more then 5x's the price and would have taken much longer to setup. This seemed like the much better route - and I can play multiple other consoles outside of just Genesis.

It's exactly what it looks like, six button with the feel of a three button. Just wish the d pad was more like the three button rather than the six button, but for someone with bigger hands, it's ideal.
