EDIT: Retro-Bit sent me a replacement D-pad, which was fairly easy to replace with a small screwdriver set, free of charge. The one 'wing' of the inner component had snapped off. I unscrewed the controller halves, then gently pried the inner and outer D-pad pieces apart with a small flat-head screwdriver (for anyone that runs into the same issue). There's no snap/clip/screw holding them together. Controller stopped working after a month of light use. The D-Pad no longer registers on my RetroPie setup, nor via the Windows Game Controllers test application. I emailed the company about troubleshooting/replacement, just waiting on resolve. Otherwise, the controller had a good build quality and felt true to the original controller. I would rather have the Start button in the center or higher on the controller, but it's not that big of a deal. The Start button is right over the XYZ, so you have to be careful not to accidentally mash the 'game reset' key combo (RetroPie/PicoDrive). Read more

The build quality is great, it is amazing to be able to play comfortably from your couch without having to worry about cables anymore. However, there are a couple of minor faults that prevent me from giving the full 5 stars: - It is a bit difficult to switch between the Megadrive and USB receivers. Every time I need to do it, I need to push the hidden reset button in the back with a pin. It would be nice to have a dedicated sync button. - Being born and raised in the EU, I would like to have a version with "Megadrive" branding instead of "Genesis". Read more

My favorite retro game controller, use it for everything up to ps1 and I love it. Dpad is the best one retrobit has released, buttons feel great, and the shoulder buttons are responsive and easy to press; works great wired or wireless on windows. Read more

Tried everything to get this to connect. Once I do get it to connect , only B button works. No other buttons respond. I tried pressing that reset pin hole button on the back of the controller like people's suggested but it does nothing to make the controller work on the Sega mini console. Will be returning Read more

Si funciona para Genesis Mini y Original. Varias reviews dicen que no se empareja el control, pero no leen el instructivo donde dice que si está el led azul es para unas consolas y el rojo para otras. Es un excelente control, me gustó más de lo que esperaba al verlo y usarlo. Es de buenos materiales y es resistente. Lo recomiendo totalmente. Read more
