Review: Great controller, USB offers alot of places to play - This thing is amazing. im not sure how closely it feels to orginal hardware of the era, but im starting to be convinced alot of the love for the Saturn comes from how awesome this controller is once you get it in your hands. 2D games will never feel better
Review: Excellent D-pad makes it worth it - I got this controller for one reason: the excellent d-pad. I use it to play shmups and retro games, mostly on Steam, but also occasionally on Switch and Retrocade. One issue is dealing with different button letters and layouts, but you get used to it, and most games are pretty customizable nowadays. The controller is quite a bit smaller and lighter than what people are used to nowadays (I'm fine with that- I actually like smaller controllers). The face buttons don't have the greatest feel initially, but get a little better over time. The shoulder buttons are a little oddly angled, but you get used to them. But what I came for is the D-pad, and this is where it delivers- it has a really good feel. I would say a little better than the Switch Pro's, and leaps ahead of PS4's and Xbox One's d-pad both of which are total failures for anything other than menu navigation in my opinion. So if you're looking primarily for a better d-pad, and don't want the hassle of recharging batteries and wireless connection headaches, you can't go wrong with this one...this version of the Saturn controller was one of the best non-analog controller designs ever. NOTE: I would take those one star reviews with a grain of salt...my bet is that they mistakenly put their review up for the Model 1 version on the Model 2 product page (Model 1 was known to have some issues that were improved for the Model 2, particularly regarding the d-pad). I believe the way to tell is that the Model 2 box will say "For PC, Mac, Steam, AND SWITCH"...the Model 1 isn't compatible with the Switch.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you like to tinker...
*by L***N on November 15, 2024*

...this could be the perfect Saturn emulation pad if you can hold a screwdriver. Out of the box, it is very light and the shoulder buttons rattle just holding it or moving it around. The buttons seem decent and I did not have the "C" button issue reported in older reviews. To make this controller perfect, I simply removed the five Phillips head screws and disassembled the controller. I then cut and folded paper rectangles to fit in the shoulder button contact points. While I had it open, I took the opportunity to fill the empty space behind the circuit board with some non-conductive putty material. I then reassembled and tested functionality in my favorite emulator. The total time commitment was less than 15 minutes. These small changes completely eliminated my negative first impressions and left me very satisfied with the product. It now feels pretty much exactly like an OEM model 2 controller. The cord is a bit too long for me, but I am uncomfortable shortening it myself so I'll just live with it. Don't forget that it has two connection modes that are switched by holding "Start" and "X" for five seconds. This was necessary on my phone with docking station. Overall I deducted one star for the flimsy first impression, but overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.
