Customer Reviews
50/50 - I bought two
I got two of these
controllers because they're cheap and meet the requirements for what I
needed them for (playing emulated NES/SNES/Sega, etc games). I used the
free shipping which took so long I forgot that I had ordered them, but
it was still here before their last possibly delivery date by 2 days. I
immediately opened the first controller, plugged it in, had it
recognized by Windows 7 Enterprise and configured it with my emulator
and was playing Bubble Bobble with in 5 minutes.
My girlfriend
got excited and rushed to open the other one, I plugged it in, had it
recognized by Windows but nothing would work to get the buttons to
actually do anything. I tried 4 different USB ports on the back of my
custom rig to no avail, unplugged the one that worked and wiped
controller one to test to see if maybe they were just conflicting and it
still wouldn't do anything at all (I am a certified computer technician
and I do it for a living).
I'm going to go ahead and leave it at
4 stars because the one that works works well and all the buttons on it
look and feel like an original SNES controller. They're kind of cheap
plastic, but what do you expect for something which costs half as much
as the only other option locally (a Logitech game pad for $25 at Best
Buy where I'm from, these were $13 each and shipped free).
I have
filled out a UPS pick up return for the other one and the package is
already waiting outside my door for them to come get the bad one
tomorrow. There are no driver cds or anything with them just a really
cheap cardboard box with tons of plastic wrap, so YMMV on getting them
installed properly, I had no problems with auto-detection on Windows 7.
**UPDATE**
3/27 - I received my replacement for the bad controller yesterday, 4
days ahead of schedule, and it works without issue. Amazon had UPS come
pick it up for return at no cost to me and I got the replacement fast.
Excellent.
Works with Mac
Wanted to say that using the
Snes9x emulator, this controller works fine on a Mac as well.
USB game pad
Nice controller overall. The
buttons are responsive and not mushy. The D-pad is a little noisy and
creaky but works well with both Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64.
The
pad also works nicely with emulation software on the laptop.
