Retro-Bit SEGA Saturn® 2.4GHz Wireless Pro Controller for Sega Saturn, Sega Mega Drive Mini, Switch, PC, Mac - White

The Sega Saturn pad is widely regarded as one of the best pads for fighting games if you don't have an arcade stick.This licensed pad is no exception. Works great on a actual Sega Saturn or Saroo, takes a little bit of time to get it right in things like retroarch but it's worth persevering.Hall sticks feel good, if a little close together.Definitely my go to pad for most games now.

So... My honest thoughts on the Retro-bit 2.4GHz Saturn Wireless Pro Controller...**Pros**D-pad is amazing for games that don't support analog sticks.D-pad and 6-button layout is a treat for fighting games, especially the older Sega 16 and 32 bit games. Moves are easier to land with the rolling D-pad Sega was known for.Playing Saturn and Mega Drive/Mega CD games (both emulated) are an absolute delight. Feels really native and they're brilliant.Controller is surprisingly comfortable for what it is. Even wirh the extra ZL & ZR triggers, it's properly nice.**Cons**Sticks are JoyCon sized. Will take some time getting used to. Nice that they're hall-effect though. Reduced chance of the sticks drifting.The C & Z buttons are swapped around with L & R. Z is L, and C is R. Apparently there's nothing Retro-bit can do without causing issues to the controller itself, so you'll have to swap them around so that C is L, and Z is R if you're using the V2 USB dongle. That's when the controller feels right for Mega Drive & Saturn games when emulated.I still wish ZL & ZR was analog. It would have been a joy for Dreamcast, GameCube, and Saturn games that support the 3D Pad. And some racing games take advantage of it too, which here, I can't.Overall Score: 8/10. Really does hurt itself for not having bigger sticks or analog triggers, and having C & Z mapped wrong without mapping changes. It would have been the perfect 3D Pad replacement, and the absolute last word for retro emulation. It seriously excels for what it does and what's its meant to do. It is SO CLOSE to being the perfect controller for retro emulation use and real Sega Saturn hardware use.

Excellent controller, very pleased with it, these 6 button controllers are without a doubt the best choice for fighting games. It is clearly stated in the description which devices this controller supports (NOT compatible with PS5 or Xbox Series X) so I would personally ignore any negative reviews relating to that.

I bought this mainly to have a Bluetooth controller for my Sega Saturn and for that purpose it's great. The controller itself is a good size and the d-pad and buttons all fell good. Responsiveness is fine although I believe that improved when I updated the firmware.I do need to reconnect every time I turn the Saturn on. It doesn't remember the connection so I need to reset the controller and reconnect. It's simple enough and clearly explained how to do this in the small manual.As for the analogue sticks, they're too small. You can't really get much precision out of them It's fun to try some games with them to see how they handle differently, but if I'd bought this solely for the analog sticks I'd be disappointed. However as a standard Saturn Bluetooth controller it's great.

I liked the controller at first but then issues occurred. First of all the main issue is it has developed a fault, the controller LED's won't stop flashing, the controller disconnects then automatically switched to D-Input mode, i press the button combo to get it back into X-Input mode which lasts for about a minute or less then the controller does the same thing again! I don't know if it is the controller or the wireless dongle doing this but it never happened until now and i have tried turning it off, resyncing, charging the controller etc and it is still doing it! This has now left me without a fightpad for Tekken 8 until i buy one from another brand!Also the controller feels cheap, it feels hollow, it is awkward to hold because of the analog sticks shoved onto the bottom of the pad when they could have been in the middle. The end buttons on the kind of pads usually are assigned to Right Bumper & Right Trigger for fighting games like Street fighter but this pad the top end button is Right Bumper but the bottom one is left bumper so you have to manually change the control settings in every fighting game you use with this.One of the other main problems is there is no way to turn the controller off! There is no button combo or even holding the start buttons etc doesn't turn the controller off you just need to wait for 5 minutes for it to auto turn off but this kills the battery so you have to charge it often. No other brand makes a wireless controller you can't turn off when you need to so Retrobit need to fix this, i doubt i will be back to buy any of their items even if they do to be honest, a better brand to use would be 8BitDo, their items feel quality made and you can turn them off when you need to!All of the issues aside i could live with them as the controller with analogs does come in handy for playing retro arcade games etc but now it has developed this disconnecting and switching to D-input mode fault i can't look past it anymore so will be returning it.

Controller feels great for Switch and PS4 but unfortunately does not work for PS5. Seems like a poor choice to not build it with PS5 functionality during the now 4th year of the current console generation.

Cette manette est vraiment très fonctionnelle.Répond très bien sur Sega Saturn.

I expected more of a controller of this price tag. My main complaints are:- Pairing is not fast. For the Sega Saturn, it paired almost immediately.- For the computer, it paired after a few tries.- For the Switch, I have failed to pair it. And I downloaded the 1st day patch, followed instructions, reset the device... all of it.Also, the materials don't look very sturdy to me.

non compatible saturn pal !malgré la maj du récepteur via le site officiel , ma manette na jamais été reconnu par la console !manette défectueuse peut être , car déjà débistrée . a fuir !

malgré un respect des instructions, impossible d'appairer la manette, de plus celle ci a été livré complétement déchargée, ce qui laisse a penser qu'il s'agit d'un exemplaire défectueux, je suis très déçu...
