what is the best saturn controller? based off colors, overall gameplay, and feel

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 4 03:10:02 2016 No.3335431 That one, the see through Japanese one has the best look IMO. 3d controller a close second

Best? Your favorite arcade stick modded for Saturn compatibility. I use Sega VSHG with PS360+

JP Model 1/Model 2 controllers.
>colors
I prefer Saturn itself in original gray color, but Model 2 controller with colorful buttons looks slightly better.
Honorable mention to 3D gamepad
>tfw no 3D controller in Model 1 colors

I have no experience with Western Saturn accessories, but is US Model 1 gamepad really that bad? Why did they change it?

I have zero experience with Sega branded Saturn controllers, but from what I've read the grey ones use the best quality plastics. The white ones are the weakest. The black ones exist in a number of revisions, the earliest ones being the weakest. The darker the circuit board, the better the quality.

I found a Saturn clone pad for PC/gameport and wanted to transfer the circuitboard into a real Sega branded pad, but after seeing how many revisions there are, I decided to get a different pad altogether.

I was looking for info on the MK 800100 controller when I ran into this quality / revision overview but I can't seem to find it now. The (annoying) YouTube tells a bit different story but seems to agree that the grey ones are the better choice.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 4 18:54:54 2016 No.3336926 >>3336242 Imagine a Dreamcast controller but blockier Was there really no point to the detachable chord though? I've always wondered that.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 4 19:05:08 2016 No.3336963 >>3336434 That, and easier to pack it in its box. Better for logistics (and thus cheaper to deal with its distribution) overall. Nights 2 was supposed to make use of this port, with a motion sensing extension.

>i think it's pretty good for what it is.
If you want to set the bar that low--lower than the regular Saturn pad--then sure, it's "good for what it is".

Ironically, the box boasts that it's A MUST HAVE FOR VIRTUA FIGHTER, yet it makes VF almost unplayable.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 6 00:27:19 2016 No.3340060 I loved the 3D controller. It was the only one I used once I got it.

>I have the US version,

Then you have a completely different pad that uses rubber membranes.

The hss-0136 uses actual arcade parts. It's as good as playing at an astro city cab. There's also a twin version which is literally the pad from an astro city cab.
