My wife bought me this when I told her I was going to set my raspberry Pi up as a retro Pi so I can run an Atari 800XL emulator and see all the demos running again that I wrote some 30 years ago, controller works a treat & delivery was fast & efficient no complaints at all

It's nce, it works on both Pi and PC. The only thing that should be mentioned - in fact this controller dosen't have "Pi Hut" sticker that you see on a photo.

Didn't find the controls stiff as some have suggested, slightly wobbly and imprecise on the D-pad if anything, but generally does what it's supposed to do. Clearly not the very best quality out there but I wouldn't expect that for 6 quid. Longer cable would be nice as suggested by others. Still easily exceeds expectations for the price though. If you just want some casual gaming this will do nicely.

Got this to use for my retro pi setup. Works well, cheap feel but is a cheap product, works well enough though

Worked seamlessly on Ubuntu 18.04. Buttons of decent quality, if a little stiff. Definitely recommended.

The controls feel a little stiff initially but otherwise the game pad works great (on Win 10), just plug it in and use with your SNES emulator.

I bought this controller to use with my Raspberry Pi. Plugged it in and set up the buttons entries as with any controller. No issues at all. The controller looks great and very official. I use a USB extension so that I can still sit on the sofa at a comfortable distance. The wire that comes with the controller is approximately 1.5 meters long. The snes controller really completes the nostalgia feeling playing game boy and classic NES and SNES games. Highly recommended and a brilliant price. Comes in a nice solid box too. The buttons feel firm and responsive. They are also rather comfortable as they are convex rather than some 3rd party controller buttons that are concave. Really happy thanks.
