What's the verdict, /vr/min?

there's a guy on ebay that sells actual original sega 6 button controllers that are new old stock

It’s spot on. I had an OG six button fail on me even after cleaning contacts. It was auto scrolling in one direction permanently. These are pretty identical and the reviews reflect it. Totally recommend- I bought 2

It's basically the best controller in existence right now except for 8bitdo products. I would buy several of them.

I get it, but if you need to play street fighter, or ANY game that can use the six buttons, it beats holding start and pressing a button.

Why. I always prefered the feeling of the 3button to the Saturn one.

>> No.5742471

>>5741726
Yeah I sure do love my god-tier dc controller with a power cord coming out the wrong side, a stick that is designed to start drifting in less than a month of use, sharp bumps everywhere, triggers that squeak like crazy since the spring isn't properly anchored, and overall dogshit ergos. Yeah boy, god tier.

They're not new, I bought them and they were oily, dirty and clearly used. I returned them. The ac adapters he sells are new though.

The Genesis port and USB versions are great. I recently bought them and they feel the same to me as the originals did. I've been using the USB version the most on Switch and it's great for games that really need a dpad (Mario Maker 2 mostly for me).

The Saturn controller, it's really good. I didn't have the dpad issues others had, maybe because I bought it recently and it wasn't the initial batch with the shitty plastic on the dpad. My only minor complaint is the shoulder buttons aren't microswitches anymore, but besides that it feels the same. For the $20 or so they go for, yeah they're good.

>> No.5742871

>>5742545
I'm using the saturn one right now. Honestly it feels really cheap. Shoulder buttons are too flimsy and the d pad is a lot more mushy, qcf motions are difficult on it.

It's only $20 for a reason.

I like mine, better than my worn out ass old og pads that have mushy (some unresponsive) buttons. 30 years of use have made the originals just decoration at this point. These new pads are all I use now. Because they are new they feel better than the originals now. But compared the original pads when they were new? Can’t say 30 years is too long ago, I can’t recall something that specific from so long ago.
