Retro-Bit SEGA Saturn® PRO - 2.4GHz Wireless Pro Controller for Sega Saturn, Sega Genesis Mini, Switch, PC, Mac - Includes 2 Receivers - White

So my girlfriend found a different version of these without the twin sticks at the bottom and we are still waiting for that to arrive it seems to be in a perpetual heck of shipment woes, while browsing retro bits website I found this version of them and ordered them here on amazon, and it actually showed up next day, charged it up and updated it per instructions and it is great! Ordered the second one and it arrived today and also functions great build feels nice battery life seems good, the buttons Feel great and seem to have a slightly quicker or as quick response time as the original controllers that ive had since i was a kid, although it should be noted I'm using these with my sega saturn so I cannot comment yet on how it does with the included USB dongle for other systems and that brings me to the twin sticks as only a few titles to my knowledge actually work properly with them I don't think they perform as good as they could since they default to d pad level performance now there is a twin stick mode for the game virtual on I have yet to try but when I do I will update my review here.

If I had trusted the negative reviews I wouldn't have ordered this. I'm glad I chose to ignore them. I bought this with the sole intention of using it on a SEGA SATURN. It's perfect. It feels great in the hand and honestly feels of similar or slightly better quality than the original Sega Saturn controller. I have used this to play Vampire Savior, DoDonPachi, and tons of other games. I have not experienced any missed inputs or inaccurate inputs from the directional pad or joystick. Maybe the people that are having issues with theirs are because they are playing on a PC and might need to recalibrate the controller. I don't know, I'm only using this on a Sega Saturn.I'm extremely happy with my purchase and absolutely love the convenience of a wireless Sega Saturn controller. Highly recommend!

I bought this controller because I wanted something that would work well with all the consoles I emulate on PC. For these purposes, it's a good controller, but I do question how long it's going to last. Gamepad Tester reveals that despite how jiggly the buttons are, they're very responsive, though the analog sticks are very, very slightly off-zero. Despite feeling like a much cheaper controller, it's more ergonomic than the Hyperkin Duke I've been using, and it plays old school Street Fighter well. I wish they made more controllers with six face buttons and two analog sticks, because I finally found what I'm looking for in this controller and the build quality is so bad that I don't feel I can trust it.

As an original owner of a launch Japanese Saturn this controller really surprised me. It's almost identical to the original and the added bonus of analog sticks puts it over the top. So far the batter has been good and the dpad is still working fine. Highly recommended, especially for those who love Saturn 2D fighters.

The only quality this controller has is the box it comes in. The shell is a very cheap plastic that feels slippery in the hands. The Dpad of the original saturn controller is naturally a bit mushy with a slight tactile feel, but this controller has no tactile feel whatsoever to any of its buttons or dpad. The one benefit to the controller is the fact its wireless. Another strange thing to note is the wireless dongle being black no matter what color controller you've purchased. For someone who may have wanted to buy a controller to match the color of their console, you'll be dissapointed choosing the white variation. I cant imagine it being too difficult to recolor the dongle shell, leading me to believe that these controllers are a cheap and underdeveloped design. Overall, I cannot recommend it whatsoever and I would suggest you buy a wireless kit for the original saturn controller instead or use a wireless genesis controller from 8bitdo and saturn dongle.

I wanted to keep this controller but ended up returning it. Overall love the aesthetic to the controller gives me vibes of the 90s Sega era. However, there are several gripes that turned me off with this product. For starters I’m not a fan on setting this up as it requires you to tap a button to simply play on your Sega Saturn console but instead you have to sync it via Bluetooth. Second the usb cord is pretty simple it uses to download firmware so you can play this controller on PC but the only issue it seems not to work with MacBook laptops which is another red flag. Third of all I like the aesthetics of the thumb sticks but they seem to be too stiff, warped, and uncomfortable. The Nights 3D pad felt very responsive and firm to play I would even say the same thing for the Dreamcast controller. My biggest bone to pick was it only being compatible with PC, PS3, and Nintendo Switch. Like who still plays these controllers on PS3 at least make it compatible with current gen consoles like the Ps5 and Xbox One or Series X. Overall I like the controller itself I would recommend if you just want to play Nights, Sega Rally, Sonic Jam or the Capcom fighting games on your Sega Saturn but I believe your better off getting the retrobit wireless controller instead and the Sega Genesis six button controller by retrobit. But if your looking to play Dragonball Sparking Zero , the Marvel vs Capcom Collection, Guilty Gear, Mortal Kombat, or Street Fighter 6 just stay away from this one and use your money on better options with fight pads and controllers. Was looking forward to this controller but overall was disappointed and get my full refund.
