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

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.

The controller seemed well made and had good feel like the original sega controllers but i couldnt get the home button to be detected in recalbox controller config.

This controller is garbage. The LED light and shoulder buttons broke after one minor drop. The D-pad broke after a month of normal use. The battery doesn’t hold a charge. It is cheap plastic and then when I attempted to get a replacement with the $5 warranty I bought, I got the run-around. I will never buy another Retro*hit controller. They are trash.

Purchased two of these wireless controllers and both do not work on two different Genesis mini consoles. I also have the wired versions and they work flawlessly. Stick with the wired controllers for your Genesis mini.

After trying out and buying the retrobit saturn bluetooth controller and being blown away at the build quality i bought a pair of these genesis 2.4 my mega retron hd. I will get a genesis mini during christmas and i can use these for that as well. Pairs up right away no hiccups, plays great. I play alot of shmups that require alot of accurate bullet dodging and these passed with flying colors. Recommended 100%.

When I first got it the sega dongle was defective. Seller sent me a replacement dongle. Had to sync it on a genesis model 2 and it worked fine (syncing instructions included are incorrect. After turning both on and hitting sync buttons you have to hit start on the controller to get it to actually sync). After I had the controller synced to the dongle I moved it to the AT GENESIS I had intended to use it on when I bought it. The AT GENESIS would only read the dongle for a second and turn off the dongle. Maybe there will be an update to that dongle later on allowing it to work on the preloaded sega genesis consoles but for now it doesnt work on them.

Great controller that is almost identical to the 90s counterpart. One of my 2 controllers came with a bad USB cable, but other than that they are 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.

The only thing that kept this from being a 5 was pairing it to the bluetooth receiver. Let me start by saying I have bought two other wireless remotes for the NES and the SNES mini. This one almost didnt pair. I had to connect it to my computer and pair it because it wouldnt pair directly from the genesis mini. That took me about 2 hours to figure out... after reading directions 2 times over it mentioned nothing about what to do if it doesnt pair beaides resetting the remote and making sure light colors matched..... never had a problem pairing these before. Aside from that everything works flawlessly. Great reaction time on the mini. Cool case..... havent tried it on an old sega genesis yet. How cool would that be?

I purchased this wireless controller recently to use with my PC and I was hoping it would also work with my Atari. Great news! It works. So lets start with the good things: The look and the packaging are both outstanding. It comes with a nice case that holds the controller, the 2 dongles, USB cord and manual. It works with a wide variety of systems, including the Atari 2600 and 7800 (one-button only). I have yet to test on my Atari computer and original Genesis, but those should work fine with it too. Now for some not-so-good things: the controller is very light, which seems a bit odd. I never had this particular model of wired Genesis controller, so I cant really compare it though. Actually the only Genesis controller I have is a wired Hyperkin 6-button which is bigger and seems heavier. They could have put some weights in it. Just sayin. But the worst thing about this controller has to do with pairing. It should be automatic, and many times it is not. The controller and receiver lose their connection somewhat quickly when power is shut off to the system, then they need to be paired again by holding down buttons on both the dongle and controller. This is not so much of an issue on the PC, where you can switch games and emulators quickly without ever shuttling down the system, but with a console, you typically have to. I found that on the Atari 2600, if you swap out cartridges quickly (within 10 seconds or so) it will usually automatically re-pair itself. It didnt always do that on the Atari 7800 however and I had to fight with the pairing buttons again. Also, with emulators on the PC, you will have to go into the settings and manually configure some of them (for example, in Stella, you will have to set the inputs to move up or down manually). Anyway, for $35, I was expecting a little better. For a comparison, the Blue Lake wireless PS2 controllers, while not Genesis compatible, are half the price, work great with PCs, and always pair automatically.
