“Brought one of the Raspberry Pi Compatible USB Gamepad / Controller ("SNES" Style) for a small project I was working on.
Received it in a nice box that is perfect for storing the controller in when not in use too.
Found the controller nice to hold and use for games, however it has been a while since I've used a SNES controller and the buttons were a little stiff but maybe that was just me.
Overall the controller was great, buttons mapped perfectly and it's a great price for the build quality.”
“I have 2 of the more expensive iBuffalo controllers and there is next to no difference. Certainly not enough to warrant the higher price. I would rather get these controllers.”
“I mean yes it's a SNES Controller, and yes it works and gets the job done. But compared to the original controller it's simply a true disappointment. You can find the project that I used it for here. https://www.hackster.io/joel-helbling/the-pi-0-console-204a1c
What was a true frustration, is that the wires that connect the Controller's board with the USB Cable are in the wrong colour. After some research I found out that the green cable acts as positive data and the white one as negative. I re-soldered the wires to the Pi three times until I found out that the cables were switched (green was negative and white was positive)
It still gets the job done and it works. The buttons are "fine" but the D-Pad is very slow and mushy. I wouldn't recommend this if you're thinking about using this controller for a long time.”
