Retro-Bit Official Sega Saturn USB Controller Pad for Sega Genesis Mini, PS3, PC, Mac, Steam, Switch - USB Port (Black)

Pro: This is the perfect USB Sega controller, perfect 6 button for Sega Games. This controller feels amazing and the button response to the axis feels smooth. Super long cable. Cons: Very light , I can see the usb going bad in the future. I don't remember Saturn having the controller this light. Conclusion: Buy this controller. Its amazing. I should of purchase the see thru one too. Next I will purchase a N64 and Gamecube version from Retro Bit. Certain retro bit controllers have the amazing build quality. That is key to having a great controller.

If you are looking into this controller for the purpose of playing fighting games, look no further. As far as fighting game pads go, this is an amazing option. At $20, the Retro-Bit Saturn controller isn't just a steal for the cost, it's one of the best fighting game pads I've used. The classic Saturn D-PAD style is second to none. The buttons are responsive. It may feel a little bit light, but it is sturdy and has withstood more than a year of play with no signs of wear. The PS4 Hori Fighting Commander 4 is the only FGC dedicated game pad I'd rank above it, but only slightly. The build quality is a bit nicer and PS4 compatibility is great, but the overall playing experience is very comparable and that pad is lost to time being resold on eBay for $60-70+. Consider that an A+ option and this one, shipped to you the next day for a fraction of the cost, the A option. I'm not sure I've ever left an Amazon review and after some perusing of other controllers for fun, I felt inspired to share because there's simply no reason to move away from this thing. Buy it and enjoy.

...this could be the perfect Saturn emulation pad if you can hold a screwdriver. Out of the box, it is very light and the shoulder buttons rattle just holding it or moving it around. The buttons seem decent and I did not have the "C" button issue reported in older reviews. To make this controller perfect, I simply removed the five Phillips head screws and disassembled the controller. I then cut and folded paper rectangles to fit in the shoulder button contact points. While I had it open, I took the opportunity to fill the empty space behind the circuit board with some non-conductive putty material. I then reassembled and tested functionality in my favorite emulator. The total time commitment was less than 15 minutes. These small changes completely eliminated my negative first impressions and left me very satisfied with the product. It now feels pretty much exactly like an OEM model 2 controller. The cord is a bit too long for me, but I am uncomfortable shortening it myself so I'll just live with it. Don't forget that it has two connection modes that are switched by holding "Start" and "X" for five seconds. This was necessary on my phone with docking station. Overall I deducted one star for the flimsy first impression, but overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I've always had a soft spot for the Genesis controller it fits perfectly in my hands and the way shape of the controller gives plenty of room to adjust your hands and fingers to how it feels best to you... similarly the Saturn controller was also a personal favorite even though I Only had a few 3rd Party controllers, but the Saturn was always just a 6 button Genesis controller with two shoulder buttons slapped onto it. I needed a D-Pad based controller for some platformers (Pizza Tower specifically) and so I thought to finally pick this up after eyeing it for a while. It's not the best controller I have ever used... the shoulder buttons could be a tad click-ier and have more travel, the D-Pad could be a bit tighter (closer to the 6 button genesis is my favorite but I figure the Saturn controller was looser), but in all honesty in the heat of gameplay I barely notice any of these issues. The shoulder buttons work perfectly well in gameplay and the D-Pad, besides accidentally pressing up once or twice, works flawlessly. Just be patient with Steam and it detecting the controller, as I had issues with it, and eventually you can get rolling with it. Overall I am very happy with this controller. Edit: Almost a year on and I think this is my favorite controller for platformers, period. I know people have trouble with Retro-Bit's build quality, and its fair but in my experience atleast it has lasted a year with some pretty rough handling and the controller has yet to quit working. I clocked in about 100 hours into Pizza Tower and it still works just as well as when I got it.

I got this controller for one reason: the excellent d-pad. I use it to play shmups and retro games, mostly on Steam, but also occasionally on Switch and Retrocade. One issue is dealing with different button letters and layouts, but you get used to it, and most games are pretty customizable nowadays. The controller is quite a bit smaller and lighter than what people are used to nowadays (I'm fine with that- I actually like smaller controllers). The face buttons don't have the greatest feel initially, but get a little better over time. The shoulder buttons are a little oddly angled, but you get used to them. But what I came for is the D-pad, and this is where it delivers- it has a really good feel. I would say a little better than the Switch Pro's, and leaps ahead of PS4's and Xbox One's d-pad both of which are total failures for anything other than menu navigation in my opinion. So if you're looking primarily for a better d-pad, and don't want the hassle of recharging batteries and wireless connection headaches, you can't go wrong with this one...this version of the Saturn controller was one of the best non-analog controller designs ever. NOTE: I would take those one star reviews with a grain of salt...my bet is that they mistakenly put their review up for the Model 1 version on the Model 2 product page (Model 1 was known to have some issues that were improved for the Model 2, particularly regarding the d-pad). I believe the way to tell is that the Model 2 box will say "For PC, Mac, Steam, AND SWITCH"...the Model 1 isn't compatible with the Switch.

Bought this to make some of my Sega games on PC feel a bit more authentic and it's been great for playing Saturn, Sega CD, Genesis and other games. I have not used an actual Saturn pad, but the feel of this one is quite good. Some say the D-pad is a bit looser than the original, but I found it to be responsive and usable regardless. The face buttons all feel good, but sometimes I notice they may not register unless you are very deliberate with the push. This may be from them having more travel distance than SNES controller's buttons that I am used to, but after a few minutes of play my hands are adjusted to them and the overall feel is comfortable. The controller is light in the hands and has a good feel and I have not noticed any discomfort when playing. Been using it daily for a month with no issues so far, great cable length and quality as well. I am curious to try out the wireless or others someday, would be neat to see them try to make the Saturn's 3D Control Pad someday, as if they can match this quality with it, I could see it being a nice option to have on hand for some games.

Feels pretty authentic. Sets up easily with the emulators. Only problem is my left button. Doesn't work very good. I take it apart. Try to fix it, but the l and r buttons are the only thing that feel cheap

This thing is amazing. im not sure how closely it feels to orginal hardware of the era, but im starting to be convinced alot of the love for the Saturn comes from how awesome this controller is once you get it in your hands. 2D games will never feel better

Un bon controlleur pour la Genesis Mini officielle de Sega. Rappelle un peu le pad de la Saturn avec ses 6 boutons. Bonne croix également. Attention, ce controller ne semble pas fonctionner sur un ordinateur via le port USB.

Una réplica exacta del original, pero mediocre calidad del plástico, el control funciona bien pero si es muy notable la fragilidad del plástico, da la impresión de que en cualquier momento puede dejar de funcionar o que si se me llegará a caer de cierta altura se rompe o se desajusta por dentro.

Windows would install this as generic pad but there's a conflict in the hardware. The D pad keeps locking on right direction, as if the button is pressed. It only worked once without this glitch. When it worked, it was glorious... But now it's in the drawer of useless toys...

某シューティングゲームのために購入しましたが、十字キーのためだけに買っていいくらい操作しやすいです。 サターンパッドは触れたことはなく、されにはジョイスティックでプレイしてたので多少慣れが必要でしたが、慣れてしまえば精密動作がしやすいため快適にプレイできています。 不満点があるとすればPCの電源のON/OFF時になぜか別のゲームパッドとして認識されてしまうため、ボタンの割り当てに気を使う必要があるくらいですかね…
