miadore 2 x Retro Classic USB Gamepad, Wired SNES USB Controller for Mac, PC, Windows, Raspberry Pi (Multi-color Keys)

I was after a pair of old school controllers for retrogaming, and gave these a go. They turned out to be surprisingly sturdy, with decent length cables and very pleasing action. They have worked perfectly with Retroarch and a wide variety of different classic game titles, and very responsive and comfortable to use for extended periods. While there are many more expensive controllers out there with all kinds of bells and whistles, for the price these are excellent value!

As described. Good quality for the price. No issues.

Going through a lull with modern day games, I decided to jump back to a simpler time for gaming, but as much as I am an enthusiast, I do admit to not having the required funds to back catalogue entire retro consoles and their cart counterparts. As a result, I delved into the world of emulation, specifically Super Nintendo, or SNES.It was my first and favourite console growing up, to the point that running it's old gems again wasn't quite enough via my XBOX ONE controller. Call me hipster, but you know when these games are designed for a good old fashioned D-Pad, the kind that doesn't make a hammering PC mouse-like click with every press.Enter INNEXT. I searched around for retro style USB controllers and came across their SNES style controllers for the cheap price that it is, especially since the package includes 2 controllers. I was sceptical due to the said price, as I had experience with a similar labelled N64 style controller from RETROLINK, which kid of did the job but felt cheap, and gradually wore down after only a short amount of play time.INNEXT controllers however (atleast the SNES style ones) feel fairly close to the original Nintendo experience. Buttons are responsive on input, the plastic itself is very sturdy and show no signs of lacking structural integrity or giving way over hours of intense gameplay. To back that up, I spent the last week full of down time playing through intense games like STARFOX, R-TYPE III, SUPER MARIO WORLD, DONKEY KONG COUNTRY, CONTRA III, SUPER MARIO KART (both controllers on 2 player) and many more arcade and platform games of that era. Anyone who has had experience with these kinds of games knows how much strain you can put into mashing buttons or gripping the controller and unintentionally trying to tear it like pizza! But it has kept up the pace, even with SNES DOOM ;)I realise that this review took some time to get to the actual product as subject itself, but I felt important to note the desire to go back to older games and to use input that felt authentic, and that you get a fairly close experience to that authenticity at a low price and decent dispatch time. (Side note, bravo on the seller for the quick dispatch, it wasn't expected to arrive for nearly 3 weeks and I got it in 1 week!).I've heard mixed things on INNEXT'S other retro products, like their N64 controller, but I honestly can't comment since I haven't used it myself. So this review is subject only to the SNES style controller/s, which, in a nutshell, if you emulate this era of games via PC or Raspberry/Retro Pi, and want a reliable throw back set of controllers that install their drivers quickly with no fuss and are very easy to map to your liking, I highly recommend as someone who grew up with the original source material.

I write that from perspective of person who own original SNES and as beginner speedruner.D-pad issue is here same as everywhere else (probably parts origin is from same Chinese line that took wrong measurements for D-pad). Central part is smaller than in original joystick so its really common to have additional input signal (up or down) when push left or right. I fix that issue by placing 3 layers of paper under central part of D-pad and it works okey.For ordinary user: Buy those only if you want mod them slightly (2 for such price is really nice deal to have spare one if something gone wrong). Then you can use them for normal play.For speedruner: stay away from those. Its better to buy snes mini. I come back to play with playstation 2 gamepad because those one make me furious after couple of speedrun hours

Purchased to use as an alternative to the joystick for the mini and maxi 64 to play games better. Product is well made and looks great in black. Same size as the mini SNES gamepads. They don't work on all c64 games but this is not a reflection on this product. Thank you ☺️

I purchased these to work with a Raspberry Pi 3 running RetroPie. I am really happy with how they work and how easy they were to set up. They are quite light, much lighter than even the old Sega or Nintendo controllers but do the job beautifully. I did look around at several of these and some had poor reviews which made me a little concerned, however, these work perfectly for me and my Raspberry Pi set up running old Sega games.

Very disappointed with this product. Didn’t work on either of my Macs. M1 or Intel. Wouldn’t recommend it for Mac users.

Works well and is great gamepad for the price. The direction pad isn't the most fluid to use but is OK.Works first time on Retroarch, already has a config file, so saved on setup time.
