Product Features
These controllers are great! Same shape as the originals, though the shoulder buttons feel less like they click and more like regular buttons. The extra long cord alone makes it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a Saturn controller.
I have never held an original Saturn controller so I can`t compare. I do know that this feels fantastic, the dpad works great for all those Saturn shmups, if you`re looking for a Saturn pad for your MiSTER this is it.
Current-day support like controller manufacture is insanely good to see, and I think Retro-bit does the Saturn proud w/this. It`s as solid as my near-mint originals from pad/button design to durability, and to be honest it`s hard to tell the difference. Bonus--no interference from my Saroo (compared to the wireless variant). Keep this s*** up!
Buttons are functional. Good build quality
Needed a replacement controller since the original ones I have for my saturn are not in their best shape, decided to give this Retro-Bit controller a chance and it didn`t disappoint me at all. Not like the originals but as close as it can get, good product for the price you pay. Recommended!
From what I can feel, nearly everything is just as high quality as if the original pad were new! The D-Pad and face buttons all feel just like the original, and the molding is perfect. The shoulder buttons are the only thing that`s different. They aren`t better or worse in my opinion, just different (definetly more audible). The cable is also longer than the original pad. With all this, I`m not sure why anyone would pay more for a used, worn down original controller when these are an option.
Excellent playing controller that feels almost exactly like a real Saturn controller. The only major difference I noticed when comparing the two is the clicking when you press the L and R buttons isn`t exactly the same but otherwise it`s an excellent way to get a quality Saturn controller.
It's been a while since I held an original Saturn controller, but this retro-bit reproduction appears to have similar feel and build quality. The plastic doesn't feel thin, and buttons feel like they should. I felt the d-pad felt sort of mushy, but I remember the original Saturn one did too. So, if you're going for a Saturn contorller with modern construction that isn't used, give this a go.
This controller feels great. Very close to the original Japanese controller. I will say that I thought I was buying a USB version of this controller, but that's my fault. It was still fun to use on the Sega Saturn directly. All buttons feel nice and function as they should. The quality is close to 8bitdo, but I still think 8bitdo controllers edge out the Retro-bit controllers. I would buy this over any used official controller (unless pristine), especially for the price.
