I tried it out using RetroPie, and it works as intended. No problem setting it up at all. Only con is that I think the buttons are a bit too soft, not a big problem, but I might have just gotten used to the great quality of the Xbox controllers.

Looks just like the SNES original. D-pad is a bit spongy, but is otherwise well put together. Great value too!

And also has good feel. Probably not quite as good as an original snes controller but still excellent and for 5 pounds...cant go wrong.

So I'm using the 2 of the controllers for a few weeks and it's still working fine. Setting it up was not hard at all ... plug & play under windows and Linux. The input feels great and for the prize you can't do anything wrong if you want to expand your RetroPi system !

The gamepad works as expected very well with Retropie. I have seen more expensive gamepads that were not as responsive and durable as this is.

couple of minor issues with this controller but for the price i cant complain the controller itself is pretty solid case wise and isnt heavy only downside to the outside is the ABXY buttons which in a previous review menthioned they dug into your fingers like them i fixed this with a light sanding to round off the edges problem one solved and it is now more comfortable second problem and a solution to those with the B button only responding when you really press it it the circut board in the case has enough room to flex on the right side where this button is located meaning when you press it the board also moves with the button causing it to not respond straight away if you have a hot glue gun handy do what i dd and palce a small plastic spacer at this side to hold the board in place and that issue will go away i would give a negative review of this but considering the fixes where quick and easy and it only cost a fiver im not going to complain plus it now works brilliantly after my tweaks plus it arrived incredibly quick so i can hardly fault pihut there great going people ill probly order another once ive finished my mini console project
