Rarely works
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buy the retro controller, even though it is wired...it works
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't like cause the bottom are inverse.aaaaaaaa
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Range
I bought one, then bought a second one
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Good * The controller is wireless with no noticeable input lag. The range is decent. * These controllers are a bit thicker than SNES Classic ones, but the back has a nice grove that allows for your hands to hold them more comfortably during long gaming sessions than the original flat back controllers. * The start and select buttons are less squishy than the SNES Classic controllers. * These controllers are very light. The Okay * The A, B, X, Y buttons are all curved convex like the European/Asian controllers unlike the original USA SNES Classic where the top (X and Y) are concave and bottom (A and B) are convex. It doesn't really matter though, because the buttons are very responsive and have a nice feel to them. * The d-pad is different. It has a more squishy feel to it. It's not bad, but it doesn't feel as good as the SNES Classic controllers. It takes a few gameplays to get use to the d-pad. The Bad * The shoulder buttons don't have as nice of a click feel to them when compared with the SNES Classic controllers. They work, but the SNES Classic shoulder buttons are way better. Overview I bought one just to test it out, and went back the next day to buy a second. Yeah, these aren't as good as the original SNES Classic controllers, but they come pretty close. The wireless feature is great, and these controllers are more comfortable to hold than the original controllers. Using these controllers, I have beaten Super Mario Bros. and Contra. So, precision wise they aren't that bad.
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Size
Functional but Lacks the Feel of OEM Controller
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These controllers work well but are bulkier than the OEM SNES Controllers. Also the X&Y buttons are convex (as opposed to concave on the OEM Controller) and the D-Pad feels a bit stiffer. Not sure this would be comfortable in my hands for extended play. Non gaming geeks probably won't care though.
