Customers are mixed about the value of the video game controller. Some mention that it works well and is a good enough value to merit 4 stars, while others say that it's cheap, lower quality, and the D-Pad is cheap and floaty.

39 customers mention0 positive39 negative

Customers dislike the maneuverability of the video game controller. They mention that the directional pad is quirky, has trouble registering the correct direction, and is backwards. The D-pad does not have diagonal directions, only up, down, left, and right. Pressing one particular direction doesn't register just that direction, it likes to go in diagonal directions and randomly goes in a different direction.

"...In a side scroller, it's way too easy to go from right to right-down or right-up. Makes anything like Mario really annoying...." Read more

"...2. The d-pad is TOO stiff and you can move both left and right when pressing down...." Read more

"...The reason for this is because some of the pads don't quite line up quite right with the plastic D-pad...." Read more

"...It's easy to trigger multiple directions just by holding down one direction and wiggling your finger on it...." Read more

I was pleasantly surprised.

I was pleasantly surprised.
I wanted a controller to run with MAME and of all the controllers I had ever used, I liked the stock SNES controller the best.I was originally scared of that horrid picture that they have of this controller, but decided to give it a shot after reading the positive reviews.On Windows 7 64bit, it was a simple plug and play with no issues. After a month of massive abuse I ordered a second one for two player games.I have no clue why that use that terrible picture to represent this controller. They would sell much more with a actual screen shot.

I've owned many USB controllers - - Logitech Wingman, Microsoft Sidewinder, Genius MaxFire Pro, even a PS2 knock-off from Hong Kong. I got this in the mail today and its easily the best controller I've used. The controller is the exact same size as a real SNES controller, with the same button placement. The 'Y' and 'X' buttons even have the inverted-dome look, just like the original. Cord is quite durable, Windows XP recognized it and installed it in about 5 seconds. I also have Linux on my netbook but have not tried it yet, will follow up with that. I don't understand why people saying the controller is poorly built. It doesn't feel like cheap plastic and it doesn't feel too lightweight. The buttons have a quick reaction time and each direction is precise. The buttons aren't stiff and they aren't loose. Maybe it's just the one I got, but this controller is perfect. The only thing you'll notice is that the 'START' and 'SELECT' buttons are not rubber like the original, but rather plastic. And there's no 'Nintendo' logo on the controller. Those are the only two things that set this controller apart from the original.

Before I picked this up, I was playing Super Smash Bros. (N64) on my PS2 knock-off controller. When I'd so much as flick the d-pad or analog stick, my character would make a dash and usually run off the edge. I'm playing it with the Tomee controller now (yes, an N64 game with a SNES controller), and my character will now walk unless I tap the dpad again to run, just like it should be. I'm able to move around and hit moves with precision now. This controller is highly recommended for those who want to play NES, SNES, GBA, Genesis, homebrew game, and even some N64 games on the computer.

If you don't want to order online, these controllers are also available at Urban Outfitters. But they're $25 there so you're better off ordering it here for $10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cheap controller for emulation. Mine came branded Tomee from Hitgaming
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2016

Got the actual Tomee branded controller from Hitgaming. First thing I did when I got the controller was to plug it into my Windows 8 machine pull up control panel and test the d-pad and buttons. All worked flawlessly, this is only my first day with it but I'm super happy with the responsiveness.I never owned a SNES as a child my house was a Sega one. So keep in mind I'm not necessarily going for a 1:1 recreation for nostalgia sake. This purchase just for something SNES like for my emulators. I have a pre-owned SNES now as a adult so I did compare both the USB knock-off and a first gen version official Nintendo pad. Before I give my opinion on the build quality of the buttons themselves I want to let everyone know that if they are planning to make a Franken controller from original and Tomee parts you are gonna need to do some serious modding. They have changed a few of the internal plastic posts in the Tomee, use different rubber pads and have plastic guides that will need to be dremeled out if you want to replace with a SNES d-pad.
Speaking of the d-pad of the Tomee controller, it did have some extra plastic on the back of it, but on mine it was very little and didn't reach any of the other directional arrows so I didn't need to sand mine down. Comparing it to the official pad it sits higher up and feels more tactile when you press in a direction. While the official pad's shorter smoother push makes 360's easier, I prefer the feedback honestly of the knockoff. The buttons themselves are definitely a cheaper plastic (well everything is cheaper plastic) they too sit higher then the official controller. They have a springier feel to them as well. Again, I like the cheapo's more pronounced buttons tbh. The trigger L&R are a different story. The Nintendo ones are better by miles. You need to press the real ones down less to actuate and feel so much nicer then Tomee's solution. The cord is cheap. I expect when this controller eventually breaks it will be the cord. Maybe some electrical tape wrapped around could extend it's life? I dunno.
Overall for under 9 dollars shipped I'm super happy with this controller it makes playing games like Megaman on my PC a joy.

Compre dos controles y uno se descompuso al mes de uso. Además al presionar las flechas se mueve hacia otras direcciones no hacia dónde estás presionando. Producto de mala calidad.

This gamepad resembles the original, minus the logos and such, it plugged into my Windows PC and was immediately Recognized and installed, i have no complaints here! Half a year later it is still functioning and working properly. It is recognized in RetroArch and EmulationStation you just need to set it up a bit and or save custom controller/emulator engine config files.

Des manettes pour NES/SNES en USB.
Elles fonctionnent parfaitement avec une Raspberry Pi 3 utilisée en émulateur de console de jeu.
Le câble est plutôt long, ce qui permet de s'installer loin de l'écran.
