Retro-Bit Official Sega Genesis USB Controller 6-Button Arcade Pad for Sega Genesis Mini, PS3, PC, Mac, Steam, Switch - USB Port - (Black)

Love this controller. It feels just like my original 6 button controller for my Genesis. This is a quality controller and they put a lot of attention in the details. Ive only been able to test it on my Nintendo Switch at the time of this review, but I have a Genesis Mini on preorder and am lucking forward to using it with that. My only complaint is I wish there was a way to map the buttons for it while using it on the Switch. x, y, b, and a all just mirror the commands on a normal pro controller or joy con and c and z are zl and zr. I have a lot of Genesis games on the Switch and it wouldve been nice to map the buttons to what they originally were on the Genesis.

Great Controller, I use it for my Computer to play games. The Controller work great! Good value too.

From a former Genesis gamer, this gamepad is awesome. Looks and feels just like the original, and the d-pad works perfectly with the corners, unless other cheap copies out there. If you like playing Genesis games, is the gamepad to get.

The controller isnt detected by Windows. No idea how to get it to work.

I got this controller for my brother because the one that came with his Sega Genesis Mini for Christmas wasnt working well for him. I purchased two so he can play with friends, and they both work wonderfully! Would recommend seller and product if you like retro gaming like the Sega Genesis Mini.

I still have my original 6-button Genesis/MDrive controller and this thing is practically flawless. Get it.

The build quality is comparable to original six button Genesis controllers, which isnt bad for the price since when you realize a decent condition six button Genesis controller is about $20. I wont say its better because I prefer the d-pad on my genuine controller, but it is at least above the quality of the cheap third party USB controllers that litter Amazon. With the good out of the way, I need to bring up the glaring issue that makes this controller nearly useless in my situation; the macro functions. I bought this controller for a fighting game for the PC which works best on six-button Genesis styled controllers. Half of the character palettes are selected by holding down the Start button then pressing a normal button (ABC or XYZ.) It just so happens that all of the macros are activated by holding down the Start button, so when I try to select the one that is bound to Start+A, the controller instead reads it as Alt+Tab on Windows, changing the focus to another window. I have also encountered a few undocumented macros like it opening Steams Big Picture mode and an on-screen keyboard. Thankfully, I had a workaround. I was able to rebind the games start button to the Mode button on the shoulder of the controller, which is the button that all of the macros should have been bound to in the first place if you ask me. The Mode button on the shoulder served a similar purpose on the original six button Sega Genesis controllers, though it was more for compatibility between different games if I recall. If not for having that workaround, I probably would have started a return for this controller. That might change if I find more hidden features that get in the way of using this for the game I originally bought it for. I think I still have some time to make that decision. With that said; if the manufacturer has people reading the reviews for this product, keep reviews like these in mind when designing future controllers. If you have some undocumented macro that turns off other macros you want to share, I would love to hear that as well. The manual says nothing about turning macros off which is frustrating to someone who just wanted a simple USB controller.

I think these controllers are high quality they look and play just like the originals and have long cord so buy it.

Feels almost like the real thing. 100% licensed/authorized by Sega. Appears to have the exact same dimensions as the originals, but feels a bit cheap.... Im guessing its a lighter-weight plastic, it just doesnt have that original sturdy feel to it. Works absolutely perfectly with the Sega Genesis Mini.

It works very well!
