2.0 out of 5 stars A Poor Substitute for the Real Thing, February 26, 2007

Emulation is the sincerest form of flattery, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone even remotely flattered by this thing. It's a poor substitute for the feel and the performance of the original. The buttons don't spring back into place, they jiggle inside their sockets, and the shoulder buttons click and stick. Even the board on the inside is flimsy and poorly constructed. If you're hoping to mod this and turn it into a PC controller, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. I give this two stars because it's very hard to beat this price, and because it is, despite its flaws, an operational controller for the Super Nintendo.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good buy, really, November 20, 2010

There are a bunch of cheap SNES controllers manufactured by various people. Most of them are cheaply made and fragile, though I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are actually good.

A generic SNES controller replica was actually the first type of controller I bought (though I had used a Nintendo-made SNES controller many times before). It was less than $2 ($1.50, I think), so it was quite cheap. However, I didn't realize that it was a cheap knock-off until I got it, and because the thing is so cheap, I would have lost more money returning it. So I still have it. I still have it, but it's overshadowed by two Nintendo-made controllers and two Fighter Stick SN controllers.

Generic controllers are cheaply made; they wear down quickly, have mushy and jiggling buttons, and feel almost like paper. Mine also has a horribly short cord.

In NO WAY do I recommend this controller. If you can't afford a used one manufactured by Nintendo, wait until you can, because this is simply not a suitable replacement.

I have 3 of these pads and although they dont have the same feeling as an official pad, they are cheap, easy to get, and you can buy them by the dozen. Out of the pads I bought I actually found one to not be as good as the other two. If you are going to buy them buy at least two. When it comes to street fighter or something then equal tools really do matter. These pads work pretty well though, and are the right shape, prefect for a blast on Probotector or megaman.
