can't recommend any adaptors but definitely avoid any third-party stuff like the plague.

I use the 8bitdoodoo M30, it's not the best controller out there but it's light years better than any of the chink Saturn knockoffs.

Does somebody now if this one is good?

>out of order

>>7856648
There is a Retro-Bit controller that is on a par with the quality of the original controller. It has USB and Bluetooth and it's licensed by SEGA.

yikes. Hope he has it back in stock soon. He should really raise the price if they're selling out too fast.

retrobit saturn usb controller

>>7857084
Its a good approximation, but the shoulder buttons are a downgrade for example.

>>7856648
I have used both the USB ones and adapters just find what is most convenient and best for your situation. I really wanted to get that original nVidia card with the Saturn controller ports but those are hard to find.

>>7856648
just use an xbox controller ya dip!

>>7858673
wtf is that in the top left?!?

i thought sega was doing some official sega controllers for PC including genesis/saturn/dreamcast

>>7858673
Is Jaimers lurking this board now ?
Also how much do these cost ?

>>7858785
those are the Retro-Bit controllers. I just picked one up for 12$ that someone was selling, dont know if thats a bad sign or not, havent tried it yet. Wanna test it with some of the old Windows Sega PC line games.

>>7858735
Back in my day, that is called "blister packaging". It has the benefit of being clear to show the product to the customer and also large enough such that it is a slight theft deterrent keeping the small product from being easily pocketed.

>>7859480
I do not know who that is. Back then they were about $30-$40USD each new. These days you can get USB ones for under $20USD.

>>7859601
Ooohh that blue one looks good. Can you still get that one ? How is it compared to the oldies ?

>>7856648
I love this thing, wireless and it works on Saturn, PC and switch.

>>7856648
>>7857084
This but get the Retrobit Sega Genesis 8 button controller. It has a select button.

>>7859671
>>7859684
Pic right here says otherwise

>>7859689
That looks photo shopped but if they updated their models thats cool but last i checked the saturn remote does not have a select button

>>7859695
You're thinking of the USB version which doesnt have one. Also
>This looks shopped
???

>>7859695
dawgy you're on the internet, you can just google it. the wireless model does have a select button.

>>7859706
>>7859707
yeah my bad i just went and checked. you're right the newer wireless one does have a select.
I never really get the wireless ones.

>>7859710
Maybe you should. 2.4G is very good when it comes to latency. Miles ahead of bluetooth.

>>7859710
i didnt either, i bought one wired for my saturn and one wired for my pc

>>7859613
It was from the 2nd run which was a long while back. I think it is as good as the first run of the USB controllers. If you like that one, maybe you may like the one on the lower right here. The color is called "Champagne Gold" which works well with its black buttons. Sorry, the lighting conditions aren't right to show it off here I also need to clean these after all the use.

>>7856816
I have one of those for the Wii Classic Controller, and I would get random shoulder button presses or releases from time to time. I haven't used it in a long time. Currently I'm using >>7856663, it's laggy on android with bluetooth, but it's still pretty good.

>>7859906
Jelly. How about those new retrobit ones, they good?

>>7859927
>Currently I'm using >>7856663 #, it's laggy on android with bluetooth, but it's still pretty good.
I got the 2.4 ghz one and it’s not laggy

>>7856663 or >>7859671 ?

>>7858673
What's the difference between this and a regular Saturn controller other than the plug it uses?

>>7859950
I have not tried those yet. I think the clear blue plastic is very nice looking. I am saving up to get one sometime around Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

>>7860094
They have an additional select button and the start button is "play" button shaped similar to stock Playstation controllers.

>>7859927
>it's laggy on android with bluetooth
Must be a driver overhead thing. Did you update the firmware?

>>7857936
this, however it’s very easy to replace the switches with ones from a Saturn controller with minimal soldering skill

You can either pull them out of a real controller, or buy the switches online, they drop right in.

>>7861989
Do you have a link for replacement switches? I would never destroy my original one, to put in a repro

>>7860176
what the absolute fuck why do you have that many controllers? You're about to be evicted and you have that many controllers? Fucking sell that shit.

>>7862018
He's obviously collecting them ? Also saturn controllers are cheap. Selling them wont fix anything as these will pay a months rent tops. Whats more they're not really very sought after and they will take some time to sell at market value.

>>7859512
well if they're official that means that they got the molds from sega right?

>>7856648
Hori Fighting Commander.

>>7862506
Lol. You really shouldnt be expecting quality just because its licensed by sega. They may have gotten the molds from them but its no guarentee. Also they can cheap out on the rubbers and plastics.

I got some cheap Saturn USB controller and an actual Saturn controller with a broken wire, and swapped the internals. It's okay, wouldn't recommend.

>>7856663
>it's not the best controller out there

Isn't it? I've tried a few and nothing comes close to the d-pad on the M30.

Doesnt its use DB9? Which is a PC connection?
Cant you just find one connection and install it to your pc to make it work?

>>7856816
I use this one, works fine for me. Granted I am a zoomer who never played on the original Saturn hardware so I wouldn't notice any small problems or inaccuracies. But compared to say, the series x controller's d-pad with native support even, the Saturn one feels far more responsive for things like shmups.
