Very surprisingly good controller bundle
After using each one for a week I have to say these are really good controllers.Sega SaturnIt was not read properly by my Sega Saturn emulator but otherwise it works great. The buttons feel satisfying to press and it worked marvelously on both Fusion for genesis games and various PC ports of Mega Drive games including Sega Genesis Classic CollecioncGold Edition.8/10Xbox OriginalDespite some clicking and stiffer buttons I quite like this controller. Matrix Path of Neo has a rough time reading most controllers and this one worked well so if you have a older dinput PC game that just doesn't have xinput support this will definitely work out. It won't work on xinput games though.7.8/10GameCube ControllerI spent years looking for a competent GameCube controller after the one I got from a Ross didn't work out. I have to get this out of the way. You will never be able to play Super Mario Sunshine with this as yes no analog triggers. That is not a legit reason to say the controller is horrible. If you have to play that just get an official controller and an adapter. After playing constant amounts of Super Smash Bros. Melee and Wario World on Dolphin besides a stiff A button everything else worked so smoothly the rest of thr buttons the analog stick the cstick the triggers and the Z buttin it might as well be the best USB gamecube controller. Yes from a 3. something star rated bundle.8.5/10In conclusion you got so much bang for your buck that it'd hard to not recommend this bundle. The box looks really nice on my shel too If you're not into gamecube the other 2 are still worth it. And if you're into gamecube emulation but have went through utter heck to find a decent USB gamecube controller then my friend you have found one.

Quality as expected
These are all built nicely. Cheaper built than the originals, but damn good for 3rd party. I bought these after getting the 5 Pack from Retro Power (NES/SNES/GEN/64/PS1) and they were on par with the others.As mentioned by the other reviews, the fact that the GameCube controller's triggers aren't analog is a HUGE downside. The C stick on one of the GC controllers is also off center and is always pulling slightly down. Luckily, the Dolphin Emulator lets you adjust dead zones, so it's not a big deal for me, but might be for someone using it for something with no dead zone adjusting. (The non-analog triggers are where they lost the 5th star).The XBOX control triggers oddly at least FEEL like they are analog, though if the GC one isn't, I doubt the XBOX one is.I will update this if I find any other issues. If you read this and nothing has been added, assume the other two controllers are working just fine. :)PS: Make sure you pick Amazon packaging or they'll destroy your box with the stupid shipping labels and prime tape. I wasn't paying attention and they shipped these box-less (even thought he same seller shipped me the 5 packs in proper packaging).

Pretty Authentic
If you are the type of person who always has to send controllers like this back because they do not work, you can rest easy. These are duplicates that do feel like the real thing (despite what one reviewer had said). The Xbox controller is really great, and is suitable for Redream Dreamcasting. Yes, best choice for Dreamcast. The Saturn controller is the best usb Saturn controller I have ever felt (and I have tried them all). The only reason I am giving the collection a 4 instead of a 5 is because like most Gamecube controllers, this one has its flaws. The issue that comes up with Gamecube controllers a lot is the C-stick. It is okay. The GC controller feels real and works better than most, but I am still not sure. I might be wrong about this. Anyway, if you are more concerned about the Xbox and Saturn controller, then buy because even with these two alone it is worth the money. This is a very fair price, and I am very happy with the purchase.Also, for those curious, of course it works on Macs.

Simple and works well
I bought this so I can use them on PC. All 3 controllers work right off the bat. In Windows 7, there are no additional drivers required as Windows default drivers just work. The controllers quality are quite good. The plastic doesn't feel very cheap. All the buttons and analogy sticks are responsive.I especially like the Saturn gamepad. I bought a 3rd party one before where the d-pad & buttons protrude quite a bit that makes the pad look and feel weird during gameplay. This one is not like that and true to the original design.I also want to mention that X Box controller has 2 holes where the memory cards are supposed to be in a real X box controller. Although it doesn't affect game play, it would have been nice if these are covered up somehow instead of leaving them open. I can actually see the wires inside thru holes. Not a big deal.Overall, I am very happy with the quality and function of the controllers in this package. They even include a pretty long USB extension cable in the package which is a very nice touch.

Although they don't feel exactly like their original counterparts
Bought primarily for the GameCube controller. Although said controller didn't work properly, the company replaced it (Plus an additional Xbox and Saturn controller) free of charge and within days.Although they don't feel exactly like their original counterparts, they're very close and I found the Xbox and GameCube controllers comfortable to use, more than enough for the gaming I do with them. I don't really use the Saturn controller, but at the price of $19.99 the other two are a bargain (And I never played the Saturn anyway).Plus an extension cable, though the wires they come with are long enough. Still, for the price I paid, what I got and the speed and ease of fixing my problem I have to recommend this for emulating and some Steam gaming (Though you might be better off with something based off a more modern controller for a lot of them).
