With the 8Bitdo M30 2.4g Wireless Controller, you can now play your original Sega Genesis / Mega drive games wirelessly!
Latency feels very good. The shape & construction of the shell also feel nice. The D-pad shape is good, but it is noticeably noisy when pressed and feels cheap which detracts slightly from the experience. Also I experienced some random dropped connections (character kept moving after releasing the D-pad) while using with a Model-2 Genesis with triple-bypass mod installed (updating the M30 controller/receiver firmwares made no change in this instance), but I could not duplicate this issue using the M30 with a stock Model-1 Genesis in the same setup, so it may not have been related to the controller. Overall very good for the price, and if there is a way to fix the D-pad noise it would be even better.
At this point, I'm not sure that there is anything to improve about this product.
I never had the Genesis growing up, so when Analogue released their Mega SG Genesis FPGA clone, I bought it right away. I bought several 3rd party controllers (wired and wireless) but none came close to the 8bitdo M30. This controller includes a 2.4g wireless dongle for your console (not usb, mind you) which connect wirelessly to the controller.
The things I love about the M30 is the comfortable form factor and the ultra responsive, no latency controls.
If you're looking for wireless controllers for your original hardware or the Mega SG, you can't go wrong with 8bitdo's M30 2.4g controller.
I own 2 for my Mega SG and they are amazing. Since instantly and no latency. D-pad is a bit squeaky, but everything else if perfect.
Not a "classic" feel exactly, but the 2.4G version of the M30 syncs instantly on power-on. Just pick up and go. Feels good in the hand, reliable connection, and virtually no lag.
This controller is amazing. It's very responsive with no lag input. A must buy!
