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

I use this on my Sega CDX. Works great. Can’t tell a difference from using the original controllers to this except for the fact that there is no cord. I sit over 10 feet from the TV so this makes it way more convenient. Can’t wait until Retro-Bit releases the wireless Dreamcast controller.

I love that they kept the original design. Original is on the left and the one bought is on right. It is slightly slimmer and smaller than the original but we didnt feel like it was lacking in any way. No issues with connecting to our sega and plan to use with the switch and computer in the future!

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.

Very disappointed with this controller; quite the let-down really. This controller was SO close to perfect. Dont let great feeling and quality external appearances fool you, the internals of these controllers are complete junk. Had 2 different new in box units delivered to me that were BOTH DOA. While the receivers both worked in both instances, the controllers themselves were stone-dead refusing to connect when plugged in directly with USB cable or even take a charge. Highly suggest 8bitdos M30 for OG Sega Genesis instead. While it doesnt follow as closely in design and styling vs. this product which is licensed by Sega, it works at the very least and at that, reliably and consistently.

I recently acquired a highly customized Stainless Steel Cased Neo Geo MVS console. It has controller ports for the original Neo Geo, Sega Saturn, Sega Genesis and PlayStation 2. I cant find any Neo Geo wireless controllers and highly doubt they ever existed. I had used wireless PlayStation 2 controllers several years ago but all that I could find available now run on two AAA batteries. I wanted a solution that would work with my port options and be rechargeable. This gave me the choice of the Retro-Bit Sega Genesis (this model) or the Retro-Bit Sega Saturn wireless controllers. Both models are available with or without the extra USB dongle. I decided to buy the model with the extra USB dongle. My reasoning for buying the dual purpose model was I had a lot of doubt this would work on my Neo Geo console. If it didnt work, I could at least use it with a PC. Now that I know it works perfectly, I will probably give the Retro-Bit Sega Saturn model a try. Im glad I took a chance because now I can play my Neo Geo console with a wireless controller. The button layout isnt exactly where I would put them but very close. The Start button is still the Start button and the Select button adds coins to continue. Pressing Start and Select at the same time gets me into my BIOS to make changes there if I want. The same BIOS menu can act as Pause. All things considered, I think its about as perfect a solution as I could hope for. I dont own a Sega Genesis but I did use it a bit on PC running retro games with emulators and I find it great for that purpose as well. I have no doubts it would work on an original Sega Genesis and it does make a decent PC controller for emulators. If you need a controller for either, this is a good choice.

So recently I got the Mega SG from Analogue. Ive been using my official old wired 6 Button Genesis controller. But you know I wanted to try a wireless option. I saw that these were also officially licensed by Sega so I was like sure Ill give them a shot. And I must say Im extremely impressed. While the buttons and D-pad were slightly stiffer than a 25+ year old controller, the weight and feel of it were nearly identical. So much so I actually forgot I wasnt using my old wired controller and was using the new controller I bought. Just because it wasnt as loose as my original pad, doesnt mean it didnt perform just as well, and in a similar function. No D-pad issues, no button issues. No problems doing SRKs and Hadoukens in Street Fighter. It also is extremely fast to sync up. Over all Id give the controller a 10 out of 10. For being extremely faithful to the original, no input delay that I could tell, and it was extremely easy syncing up with the receivers. Though admittedly Ive only used the Genesis receiver, and not the usb one that also came with it. My only minor issue I had was trying to update the firmware in the Genesis Receiver. But it ended up working in the end, and was actually probably my computer, more so than the devices fault.

This product is great with lower latency and lag when compared to the 8bitdo m30 2.4g wireless controller. Great battery life and charges fast. The only thing that could be improved in a future firmware update is the option for turbo functionality. Maybe the turbo functionality can be accessed through a button combo similar to start + b buttons for switching between 3 and 6 button mode.

I am extremely satisfied with this the quality is great.

I wanted to add a review because I saw mixed information about whether this worked with the Sega Genesis mini 2 console. I just tested it, and it does work. Im not sure why I didnt work for the other reviewers. I assume it would for the first Genesis mini as well.
