“We bought a couple of these to use to control robots for the Pi Wars challenge. Getting the software loaded and working took some effort but once we had that sorted out they worked well. I think they are very good value for money if you have some time and raspberry pi experience to get the software sorted.”
“Great controller. Really well made and I love that you can see the inner electronics through the casing. I’m a complete Newby to all things Raspberry Pi and I would definitely recommend this controller!”
“I really have only one complaint, and it's more of a personal thing.
I would have, had I been part of the team designing this product, provided a slot in the Gamepad's casing for the USB Receiver.
This is a common practice for ALL Wireless products on the market these days, and I found it unusual this was not considered.
Otherwise, 5 Stars from me!”
“Bought this one in with SNES style for my retropie and I really like it. SNES one was feeling a bit clunky but this one fits me just perfect.
The only downside is that it could have its own chargable battery instead of 3 aaa batteries but you just cant have it all, I guess ;)
It;s a good value buy and I am going to get another couple of them for my girlfriends Retropie.”
“The instructions in EduKit3/PiHutControllerInstructions.md
work fine down to the point where you are instructed to run
sudo pip3 install approxeng.input
which comes back with an error message of "incomplete read"
I haven't found a contact point at PiHut or with the software author to address the problem.”
