There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I wasn't super thrilled with the Bluetooth version of this pad for PC use. That one didn't work particularly well wirelessly, but wasn't a bad controller if your intended use was on a Switch or retro console with their separately available Bluetooth receiver. Similarly, I didn't love this one at first either. I plugged it into my PC and found its button mappings to be inconsistent and hard to nail down.
Even when using an external program to indicate which button I was pressing, mapping that button in game did not reliably produce the expected results. I set the controller aside and went back to using the Retro-Bit 8 button USB Genesis pad. It was only when I was preparing myself to write a disappointed review that I made one last ditch effort to nail down the problem. As far as I can tell that problem is...
DO NOT plug this thing into a USB 3.0 port. That's the blue one, kiddies.
For whatever reason, this pad misbehaves when plugged into a USB 3.0 port. If you're having issues, check your port, check the port that your hub or USB extension is plugged into. After that, make sure it's in X-input mode by holding Start and B for five seconds. The X-input switch will need to be done with each boot of your PC. Neither of these were issues with the aforementioned Retro-Bit 8 button USB Genesis controller, so I'm not entirely sure why this particular controller hates USB 3.0 and can't just be detected as an X-input device by default, but if you can live with the small issue of holding down two buttons for five seconds before beginning your play session, this controller is otherwise perfect. Very comfortable to hold, responsive and well built.
Highly recommended for arcade or retro-styled games that don't require the now standard analog sticks for input.
But what I came for is the D-pad, and this is where it delivers- it has a really good feel. I would say a little better than the Switch Pro's, and leaps ahead of PS4's and Xbox One's d-pad both of which are total failures for anything other than menu navigation in my opinion. So if you're looking primarily for a better d-pad, and don't want the hassle of recharging batteries and wireless connection headaches, you can't go wrong with this one...this version of the Saturn controller was one of the best non-analog controller designs ever.
NOTE: I would take those one star reviews with a grain of salt...my bet is that they mistakenly put their review up for the Model 1 version on the Model 2 product page (Model 1 was known to have some issues that were improved for the Model 2, particularly regarding the d-pad). I believe the way to tell is that the Model 2 box will say "For PC, Mac, Steam, AND SWITCH"...the Model 1 isn't compatible with the Switch.
They always mentioned that the best pads for fighting games were Saturn Pads. They said hands down those were the best pads ,if you were not going to get arcade sticks.. Well a few days ago, I looked online and saw that they had ones on amazon. I took the risk and purchased them. While not perfect, I was able to do moves about 90% of the time my fighting games with no issues. That was a big jump from 60%.
This controller lives up to the hype and then some. Its great for 8 and 16 bit gaming as well . All and all, this is an excellent product.
