“The hype makes this sound as though it feels as good as an original SNES controller and that it would be the perfect solution for retro games on the Pi. While it certainly isn't a terrible product, it feels terrible next to a real SNES pad. The buttons are fine, the construction is fine, but the d-pad is horrible to use - very squishy and there isn't much of a rocker in the centre. The joypad, in spite of this huge problem, is a decent purchase, as its probably the best value available - £5 is a fair price. It's fine for dabbling with emulators, but I think I would rather pay for a SNES to USB converter and use my original pads, or pay a little more and get something that has a better d-pad.”

“This controller almost(!) feals like the original SNES controller. It's colored similarly (not exactly the same), feels relatively sturdy and has a good grip. If just the connecting cord was much longer....”

“I tried it out using RetroPie, and it works as intended. No problem setting it up at all. Only con is that I think the buttons are a bit too soft, not a big problem, but I might have just gotten used to the great quality of the Xbox controllers.”

“Looks just like the SNES original. D-pad is a bit spongy, but is otherwise well put together. Great value too!”

“So I'm using the 2 of the controllers for a few weeks and it's still working fine. Setting it up was not hard at all ... plug & play under windows and Linux. The input feels great and for the prize you can't do anything wrong if you want to expand your RetroPi system !”
