Pair of 6 button controllers for Sega Megadrive/Master System

Ordered these as I have the new version of the megadrive with the in built games as the control pads that came with it are infra-red, not wireless as advertised, and become faulty very quickly and the batteries drain. What can I say? They are the perfect replacement. I was dubious about buying them from other peoples reviews saying they don't work properly with the new version but they do. I bought the red boxed one so may be not the blue box. Who knows? The only two downsides are the switches between normal and slow do not seem to work, no menu button and the cable is a little shorter than I expected but hey in comparison to what I was working with before it's a massive improvement. They are a bit thinner than the ones that come with the unit but the buttons are so quick and responsive it's a god send. If you are looking for replacements these are a must. Plus it feels proper retro now with the cables.

I actually prefer those controllers over the official ones ... the buttons and especially the pad feels just better in my hand, when playing Landstalker I always had some trouble pressing the diagonals with the official pad, with this one its not an issue anymore.I was at first a bit worried by the smaller size (I have big hands) but that's not a problem at all, this controller feels very comfortable and I also appreciate the extra length of cable. If I had 1 megadrive controller to recomand, including the official ones, that would be this one ... and you get two ! for this price it's a no brainer, if you are looking for a good megadrive controller look no further and take this one.

Okay, the delivery was faster than light --not literally. The buttons are so satisfying to press and mash. Even though the Mode button confuses me, it's really well made. This is also reviewed by Classic Game Room and approved of this product. The Directional pad should have had a bit more rough material to it or at least some texture to prevent thumb slipping off. But its all still responsive and like new even till this day. Abit too small for my big hands, but you barely know the difference when you're playing games like Street fighter or Mortal Kombat. Recommend this product.

Absolutely tip top controllers. Now I can play against my kids and show them real retro gaming on the mega drive. Buttons don't stick and no rattle of the wires. Would buy again, however, these are made very well and I won't need to. But you should buy them. They are really good value for money.

Went on a whim and decided to purchase these controllers as my current controllers are unresponsive to some button touches and I am not disappointed.Pros:Sturdy ConstructionCable length is good and slightly longer than official controllersButtons concave slightly which helps you thumb grip to themWorking Normal, Turbo and Slow modesButtons & D-Pad have the right amount of resistance and do not need to little or too much effort to press/moveComes as a pairCons:NoneNote: The controller is noticeably smaller than the official 3 button controllers but are the same size as the official 6 button controllers that were released near the end of the Megadrives production run.

Do the job. They work much better than the wireless ones. Feel light and poor quality but, as I said, do work OK.

It's working on my mac! They're smaller than the original controllers but it is a good option to use in an emulator.

These work really well. Perfect for Micro Machines
