    Very good presentation with a dedicated case and a 90s-looking packaging, the built quality is excellent and works without any hassle. If you are a Genesis fan, it is a must-have item.

    So far so good. The controller works well, although it does feel a little cheap. PAIRING was an issue until I figured out that the instructions are incorrect. After you plug the receiver into the consoles port and press the start button on your controller (turning it on), you need to PRESS & HOLD THE SYNC BUTTON ON THE RECEIVER AND THEN PRESS THE START BUTTON ON YOUR CONTROLLER. The biggest plus on this controller (which Ive been waiting on) is that since it has the extra Sega Genesis receiver, you can use the controller on your original Sega Genesis. BUT, most people dont know this, you can also use this receiver on your Retron 5 AND your original Atari 2600!!! Yep, thats right. You can now play your original Atari 2600 wirelessly. The original Atari 2600 controller ports are the same as the Sega Genesis which means that you can use Genesis controllers on your Atari (which is how I play my vintage Atari games). I tested this wireless controller on both consoles and sure enough, it works great. Happy gaming!

    Controller feels really good with no noticeable lag. Only issue I have had is sometimes certain button combinations change a setting on the controller that you need to unplug the part connected to the console to fix.

    I originally purchased this as a departure from my usual 8bitdo brand as this was the official wireless controller for the Genesis Mini (and I was concerned my usual brand wouldn’t be compatible). When I first got it, it worked great! I generally play for short stints (30 to 45 min) a couple times a week, and I didn’t have any issues; the buttons and d-pad feel responsive and sharp, the controller is lightweight, and battery is sufficient. After 2 months of light use, imagine my surprise to find that the battery no longer carries a charge for longer than a day or two! Every time I want to play I have to plug the controllers into MicroUsb for a solid hour+ I’m very disappointed in the quality control

    This is a great controller and it feels almost exactly like my original 6-button Genesis pads, but unfortunately, it’s almost useless for the “Sega Genesis Classics” game on the Switch. The problem is the buttons aren’t mapped to mirror the the original 6-button controller, they map to a Nintendo style A, B, X, Y, L, R layout. You can’t “customize” the controls in any of the Classics games either, so there’s nothing you can do about it. It’s probably great on the Genesis or a retron Genesis system, but do not buy this for that “Sega Classics” Switch game, you’ll be highly disappointed. 4 stars for the quality. 1 docked for it not being clearly stated in the description that it can’t be used as an apples-to-apples version of the original 6-button controller.

    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.

    If youre looking to get into emulating the Genesis and Saturn on PC this works great! Also good for fighting games like Mortal Kombat 11

    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.
