Many appreciate the controller's comfortable feel, reminiscent of the original Genesis controller, and its long cord. While some found it slightly smaller than expected, the positive feedback on its functionality and design outweighs this minor concern.

    A must buy if you buy a Genesis mini. It is a bit difficult to play some games with out the extra buttons.

    So I truly bought this for 2 reasons 1. Mac compatibility 2. 90’s sega nostalgia The issue that I am having is that most games I try and play the controller just doesn’t seem to work with game and either has weird controls or isn’t responsive. I’ll keep trying but for now it doesn’t really help to have this.

    There are other alternatives that are better. It’s great for nostalgic purposes but for practical and gaming purposes it’s not so great. Feel isn’t smooth and button presses can be better. Build quality is so so too.

    I bought this as an extra control for my children's switch, I like it for the throwback look and feel and it works perfect for majority of the games but doesn't seem to work at all with some games.

    Why would they place the mode button where they did? Too easy to hit while playing games.

    I purchased one of these, and within a week it was dead. It wasn't heavily used, either. I exchanged it for another one, and this time it lasted nearly a month. It too is dead. I'm not even going to bother to try to exchange this one...I'll count it as a lesson learned. It's a real shame to see Sega put their name on a product like this.

    Fantastic for the price

    There are other more expensive controllers available, but for $15 (on sale) this thing is fantastic for what it is. Obviously it works well for the 6 button games on the Genesis Mini, but it also works really well for other systems if you don't want to spend a higher price and don't mind a wired controller. I have one in my backpack with my laptop to play retro games on the go and have no complaints at all. All buttons can be mapped.
