Fresh controllers for the kids, work and feel great.
My daughter's love playing the Sega Genesis, these controllers are slightly smaller than the original ones and being new the buttons are so much easier and functional. They don't feel like cheap controllers either. I highly recommend 👍

This is a REAL ONE... there's a lot of fakes out there...this one is real.
Came in official box, bears the Sega insignia and the cord is 10 feet long. Fits my model 2...not a fake. The mode button is in the top...try not to hit it accidentally...it activates the Z, Y, Z buttons...in case that's confusing. The d button was a little stiff...that issue went away 5 mins into game play. It feels like I restored what was missing in my system...that's awesome. I will be getting another one next month after the bills are paid. Good value.

Amazing quality, but check your D-Pad
If you get a good one, these are amazing. Nearly identical to the original versions. Even the plastic casing is high quality. Pros: -Everything down to the plastic is high quality. -Nearly identical to the original 6-button controller in both feel and game play. -Responsive buttons and d-pad. -Can be used with the 8bitdo Megadrive mod kits. Though the squeeze for the micro USB cable will be tight. Cons: The d-pad design is different than the originals. It's a 2 piece design that uses the distance from the top of the pad to the board to create a similar rolling effect. It's not as good as the original, though its still absolutely better than most 3rd party Genesis d-pads. -There seems to be issues with the d-pads on the black version. It's probably not going to bother most people, But it is worth noting so that people who care can check their controllers for this issue. I've ordered 4 of these, 3 black and 1 blue and have noticed all the d-pads on the black version were different. 1 just wouldn't sit right. Upon opening, I noticed it was just molded uneven. I thought it might have been an issue with 1 which is why I ordered 2 more. But they all have the issue. If I had to guess I'd say that it was a mistake in manufacturing and they just decided it wasn't a big enough deal to fix it. It's a small difference, but the fact that there is any difference is disappointing. I'm not sure if the blue has a similar issue but the one I received was perfect. This didn't make me dislike the controllers or change my excitement for all the upcoming retro-bit sega/n64 controllers. It should also be noted that I notice EVERYTHING. If you care about stuff like this I would order the blue or wait a while to order because most likely there will be versions in the future that don't have this problem. Honestly I'm surprised no one has noticed this with all the hype around them.

4 Controllers, 4 Duds
I originally bought two of the red controllers and used them successfully on a Sega Teradrive running at 10MHz for the first few sessions. 4 days later, using the same Sega Teradrive unit runing at 10MHz, both controllers started to misbehave in a manner consistent with other 1-star reviews- Pressing the Start or C button would be unreliable, and holding the start or C button would behave as if the button were being pressed repeatedly (both seemingly owing to an intermittently-broken connection). On one controller, buttons A and B would function normally, but on the other, both buttons A and C were entirely nonfunctional. Upon switching the Sega Teradrive to 7MHz (Standard Mega Drive/Genesis) mode, the Start/C button issues seemed to disappear on both controllers, but both A and B buttons were still non-functional on the second controller. This behavior was also exhibited on a stock Sega Genesis model 2. X, Y, Z buttons were not tested. Due to the high rating of the product, I disregarded the malfunction as "a bad batch" and returned both red controllers, purchasing two replacements from the black line, assuming they would be from a different production run and thus more likely to be reliable. Upon receiving the new black controllers, I could tell immediately due to the condition of the packaging that they were refurbished or just straight-up returned as each box had clear scotch tape across the opening flap with the two factory seals already broken and the plastic inserts were slightly damaged. This time, both controllers immediately exhibited the same Start/C button malfunction on the Sega Teradrive running at 10MHz. 7MHz was not tested, but the issue seemed to clear up when used on the stock Sega Genesis model 2. However, on the same Model 2 Genesis, one of the controllers exhibited complete malfunction, with none of the buttons doing anything at all, or any held button behaving as if multiple unrelated buttons were being pressed repeatedly, seemingly depending on how the cable coming out of its back was oriented. The nature of these errors seems to indicate faulty connections somewhere within the controller and/or faulty timing hardware of some kind, which would explain the difference in performance between Genesis hardware running at 7MHz (standard) vs 10MHz (which most people do not have). This, combined with the multitude of similar malfunctions reported by the low-rated reviews leads me to believe that even if I kept these controllers for the Genesis Model 2 without using them for the Sega Teradrive, the defect will eventually compound to the point where the malfunction will present on all hardware. That is, the one controller out of each set of two that appeared to function correctly on the Genesis 2 - again, each set of 2 that I ordered had one controller that exhibited total failure on all hardware. This is terrible quality for an officially-licensed product carrying Sega's name, and furthermore, I do not appreciate the seller sending me already-opened boxes that may have contained previously-used merchandise that may have been returned due to known malfunction. I will be returning the newest set for refund and I will not attempt to buy this product again, nor will I again buy from this seller.

Must have Mega Drive/Genesis controller
As a liscenced product, it feels original. The size is comfortable enough even on my small hands. Unlike other cheap controllers, the D-pad works fine. 10 ft length is really good when you are playing on a couch. Dear Retro-bit, PLEASE make wired controllers for NES and SNES/Super Famicom. I don't want ones that need charging.

Great controller for Sega Genesis
Great controller, good size, feels premium, and has a long cord. Just what I was looking for to bring my old Genesis back to life.

I ordered two controllers 6-7 months ago. After 2-3 uses, one of them stopped working and the other one works 50% of the time. So, I bought a new one last week and it didn't work at all. I read the comments and I really think it's like a lotto. Good luck!

ジェネシスcdx/マルチメガ付属のと同じ。日本版より少しデカいが、十字キー、ボタンの位置は基板が同じなので日本版と同じ位置。パッド内のラバー接触部が劣化が多いそうなので、実機のを移植しても良いかと。

I recently took my Genesis out of storage, only to find the only controller I had was some crappy 3rd party one that only had half the buttons working. I found this controller and I sure was glad something like this exists! They are great, exactly like the original controllers in look and feel.
