Retro-Bit Official Sega Genesis USB Controller 8-Button Arcade Pad for Sega Genesis Mini, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, Steam, RetroPie, Raspberry Pi - USB Port - Black

I always liked my old Mega Drive 6-button pad so when I went looking for a pad to play Street Fighter 30th Anniversary collection this jumped out at me right away.I had to switch it to alternate mode (hold Start + B for 5 secs on menu screen) and remap one button (in-game, took maybe 20 secs) but other than that it worked right out of the box - no drivers, no fiddly configuration. I do need to unplug and replug it once at the start of each session but honestly it's much more compatible than I'd feared.Response is crisp and d-pad and buttons all have a good feel. It's light and easy to hold and so far I'm very pleased with it.Now if only I could regain the reflexes and muscle memory I had back then, I'd be in business.

I purchased this for my PC specifically because it replicates the Mega Drive controller extremely well as far as it how it feels in your hands and is wired which means no need to charge or change the batteries.But it doesn't matter because it doesn't work properly if it's in X-Input mode or D-Input mode the controller registers button 4 press when you press right on the controller dpad.The other issue I have with it is that there is no physical switch to change between x-input and d-input and it defaults to d-input.Maybe it could be fixed with firmware updates but this controller doesn't have any support for it AFAIK
