“great value for money, comes in a neat cardboard box. Does what it needs to do. Personally I think the playstation style controller feels better in the hand as has more buttons, but this is a good controller if it has enough buttons for your needs (to clarify this has select, start, x, y, a ,b and l and r trigger buttons).”

“Brought one of the Raspberry Pi Compatible USB Gamepad / Controller ("SNES" Style) for a small project I was working on. Received it in a nice box that is perfect for storing the controller in when not in use too. Found the controller nice to hold and use for games, however it has been a while since I've used a SNES controller and the buttons were a little stiff but maybe that was just me. Overall the controller was great, buttons mapped perfectly and it's a great price for the build quality.”

“I have 2 of the more expensive iBuffalo controllers and there is next to no difference. Certainly not enough to warrant the higher price. I would rather get these controllers.”

“Plug and play. Works out of the box with the RPi. I'm using mine with RetroPi with no problems.”

“I mean yes it's a SNES Controller, and yes it works and gets the job done. But compared to the original controller it's simply a true disappointment. You can find the project that I used it for here. https://www.hackster.io/joel-helbling/the-pi-0-console-204a1c What was a true frustration, is that the wires that connect the Controller's board with the USB Cable are in the wrong colour. After some research I found out that the green cable acts as positive data and the white one as negative. I re-soldered the wires to the Pi three times until I found out that the cables were switched (green was negative and white was positive) It still gets the job done and it works. The buttons are "fine" but the D-Pad is very slow and mushy. I wouldn't recommend this if you're thinking about using this controller for a long time.”
