These oversized plastic controllers are a waste of money. When I first got my dreamcast, which is less than a month ago, they had no sega dreamcast controllers in stock, so I figured, just buy these, they almost look the same.... WRONG! Out of the 3 extra controllers, only one remains after the others have officially defuncted. Absolute Garbage.

Like many others, I bought this because they were out of Sega's official controllers. It is, indeed, a hunk of junk. It's big, so you might like it if you're Rosco, the huge-handed man, and the analog triggers are hard to press, especially in conjucntion with the analog thumb pad. The thumb pad itself is faulty in that it tends to lean to the left like it's calibrated wrong. It's kind of hard to get your VMU in the port, I feel like I am going to break something when I put it in. Also, the thumb pad is becomming loose... I can move it about a half a cm in any direction and get no response. Avoid this controller if at all possible, but it beats having no controller at all. I finally got two new Sega controllers and they are by far the better choice.

To anyone even considering to get this pad.....DONT! this is the worse pad i have ever picked up in my life. It is also one of the most cheapest pads i have ever seen. Its a durable pad but its the way the pad was put together is really bad. The one i bought(only cuz it was the only one they had left)the anolog stick was shifted towards the left of the pad and on the directionlal pad the down button only worked if u pressed it really hard. THe over all design of the pad is is also really horrible. When you push down the triggers they go down about a centimeter below the actual shell of the pad so your fingers will tend to hit the shell when you press them down. They tried to lure people into buying this pad since it comes in 4 fruity colors. I also thoght it is to expensive for a pad of this terrible quality. just remeber if you ever somewhere and you see this pad DONT GET IT.
