New old stock, but the X button didn't work at all. I'll try fixing it. The stick feels OK. I think the programmable buttons are kind of in the way. But haven't tried playing fighting games with it due to the X button not working. Otherwise it'd probably be the best solution.

I did try Ikaruga with the dpad and it's fine. Better than the stock DC pad IMO.

L & R trigger feel good. Cheap

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016

Color: Translucent BlueVerified Purchase

Came in the mail yesterday, I forgot I ordered it. :P Brand new in original package.
Pros: Rubber on analog stick, A B C X Y Z buttons have solid response, L & R trigger feel good. Cheap.
Cons: Rubber on D-Pad, and is too big. This is a bad idea for fighting games, special moves are impossible to pull off. The rubber makes it impossible to slide your thumb across. If the D-Pad was a + shape instead of a 4 leaf clover, it wouldn't be so bad.
If your looking for a fighting game pad, buy a Total control 3 and a Official SEGA Saturn Pad. However, this is a good pad for everything else.

Not half bad! A couple minor things though...

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017

Color: Translucent BlueVerified Purchase

Well for starters, the analog stick is like a million times better than the official Sega controller's stick. My thumb doesnt slide off during intense gameplay any more! The face buttons (letter buttons) are pretty good and solid too, although if it wasnt for the bumps on the official controller's face buttons id prefer them. The Dpad is pretty good and solid too. The start button is shaped different than the official sega one for some reason. Its diamond shaped instead of triangle. Also its larger than the sega controller and I dont mind that its heavier either.

2 negatives though:

1. I read another user's review that said "the shoulder buttons become almost painful to use after awhile" and before buying it, I was in disbelief... but holy crap was he/she right! You'd be much better off swapping the triggers from the official Sega controller out and replacing these ones to saving yourself from the pain.

2. The VMU slots are wayyy too narrow and the VMUs fit in there extremely tightly, so I took a pocket knife and cut the ridges off in the top slot that hold the sides of the VMU in. Since it slides in and clicks into the connector, you dont even need the ridges.

Overall, its a step up from the sega controller...you just have to modify it a bit.

Playstation on Dreamcast Solution

Color: Translucent BlueVerified Purchase

I'll keep this short and simple- if your looking to play Playstation games on the Dreamcast with Bleem, this is your controller.
If you hold down the program button it turns green and puts the controller into "6 button mode" which makes Z and C L2 and R2, and now you can play Playstation games without having to give up 2 buttons or mess with the control options.
Also a much better feeling controller than the original. Also its nice to have L and R as face buttons for Dreamcast games sometimes, fighting games for example.
ONLY downside... some of the Beats Of Rage mods dont seem to like this controller. THATS IT.

Once you get use to the new layout its a worthy addition. This is especially good for fighters. Vmu an rumble packs can be a little hard but not impossible to remove.
