I purchased one of these from Ebay (Chinese Clone) and it was terrible (Cheap but terrible) So tried my luck with the PiHut version and it was almost like using an original from Nintendo themselves. Great quality and great price.

In one word, Fantastic! A lot lighter than the original item, but absolutely fantastic for playing the classics like Super Mario World!

Have worked out how to read it using Python, so now I can incorporate it in some Python games.

Nice "retro" controller. Feels good in hand. Very nice packaging especially for the price. Plug and play.

The hype makes this sound as though it feels as good as an original SNES controller and that it would be the perfect solution for retro games on the Pi. While it certainly isn't a terrible product, it feels terrible next to a real SNES pad. The buttons are fine, the construction is fine, but the d-pad is horrible to use - very squishy and there isn't much of a rocker in the centre. The joypad, in spite of this huge problem, is a decent purchase, as its probably the best value available - £5 is a fair price. It's fine for dabbling with emulators, but I think I would rather pay for a SNES to USB converter and use my original pads, or pay a little more and get something that has a better d-pad.
