Retro-Bit Sega Genesis 2.4 Ghz Wireless Controller for Sega Genesis Original/Mini, Switch, PC, Mac - Includes Controller, 2 Receivers & Storage Case (Black)

Its great when it works, but getting it to connect to the receiver when you turn it on is an annoying process of holding buttons down until they stop flashing. I havent tested it with the USB receiver.

Only lasted a few days of play before the d-pad broke. It looks fantastic though, love the design. Currently processing an exchange for a new one. So hopefully this next one lasts many years, instead of many minutes. Update: Been using the replacement on the regular now and it hasnt broke. Fantastic controller, love that it connects to both PC and Genesis with minimal effort.

Replicates the original 6-button Genesis controller perfectly. Works so well with Genesis Mini and the Switch too!

I setup an emulator in my man cave. This was perfect for wireless use of my genesis games. Recommend

This joystick model doesnt have cord, of course, its a wireless joystick. Very good for both old sega genesis as genesis minis and othes devices like PCs.

An ideal product. The 2.4-GHz version has less input lag than the Bluetooth version (I experienced no perceivable lag while using the 2.4-GHz version), and the controller just feels great. Exactly like the original, except wireless. Its nice that this version comes with the adapters as well, so you can use it with the original console or with newer compatible systems.

This is a very good controller. The d-pad and buttons feel great. The only downside is that the controller is not as comfortable to hold as the 8BitDo M30, but if you’re not familiar with that controller, I don’t think you’d be disappointed by the Retro-Bit controller.

I dont recommend this if youre buying it for use with the Switch like I did. I have the Sega Classics collection and it is pretty useless for those games. There is no in-game button mapping option and you cant map this controller through the Switch settings either. This means your stuck with the crappy layout for that collection. There are other Sega Ages games I wanted to buy but it appears I wont be able to properly map those either. The C and Z buttons are mapped to ZL and RL which makes the standard Sega 6 button layout impossible through the in-game mapping . Whats the point of using this if I cant set it up like the original Sega 6 button controller? I was going to still give it 3 stars but theres a couple other annoying issues. I turned off my Switch (not sleep mode but completely off) and the USB receiver LED kept flashing. This was 45 minutes after I turned it off. Thats just stupid. I hope Im missing something here? Did I do something wrong or does this thing just keep searching until its unplugged? Also the location of the pairing button. Really brilliant idea to locate that in a spot where the switch is blocking access to it. This controller could have been perfect. Such a shame.

This controller does offer long battery life, feels right to me having grown up playing the original Genesis, and works just fine... But theres a definite quality control problem with the plastic tabs that operate the D-pad. One of them broke within less than two hours of use, and contacting the manufacturer was no help. At least I was able to repair it myself with some super glue and none of the other tabs have snapped off.
