KIWITATA2X Classic SNES USB Controller for PC Gamings, Retro SNES Wired USB Game Emulator Controller for Windows XP 7 8 11 Mac Raspberry Pi

These have been quite nice. I have them for light use at my desk for games and streaming so I haven't seen the wires pull out or anything yet, but I can say that the button pushes feel just like the old set I have in the closet. I know some people say that the buttons are hard to push, but personally these are easier than my original SNES controllers that had some DPAD inputs that were so stiff that it felt like you might have to stand on them to get them to register. By comparison these are smooth and comfortable.All in all, very happy with the price and quality for might purposes.

I noted the reviews that said something along the lines of "you get what you pay for." My experience is as follows:- I received the controllers, hooked them up to a raspberry pi emulator, and tested the units- The units worked, but performance was unpredictable and inconsistent- I reached out to the vendor (kiwitata). The vendor responded fairly promptly, and sent replacement controllers.- The replacement controllers worked much better, and we've had no issues with them.To sum up, I appreciated the vendor's effort to resolve the issue promptly.Following is the vendor's email response:Dear Adam,Thanks for your contact. And we apologize for the inconvenience caused to u.We’ve contacted you on Aug 13 and hope to solve this issue after we saw your 3 star feedbacks on Amazon. But message undelivered.Yes, the D-pad seems defective.We are willing to re-send one set to you for replacement free of charge. You are also not need to return the defective ones. The new set has been improved by our factory.Please see attached controller printed “Kiwitata” logo. The appearance of the controllers is the same with the one you got. But it is not the same. The improved one is made of new mold and the one you buy that is made of old mold.The difference between the two is:1. Materials are not the same. The material of the new one is ABS. Good gloss, especially A B button.2. The new one will be more texture. It is a little bit heavier than the old one. High quality feel.3. The new version button function is more accurate, faster response.4. The main difference is the electronic components inside the circuit board are not the same.The functional modules have been improved. We will not let disappointed again.The tracking number will be provided to you tomorrow.We sincerely hope to help solve your problem and give you a good shopping experience.If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.Sincerely,Kiwitata

I needed a SNES controller for my video game review series Georg Mack Plays the Classics. I hemmed and hawed for awhile and decided on these. So far, they've been great. They feel good, buttons are nice, and compatibility for what I want is there.If I wear them out, I'll buy them again at this point.Update: It took a little over a year of heavy use for both controllers to end up having issues. I would take one with my laptop and use it a ton. The wire casing separated with both controllers (one taking the wires with it) and the B button got sticky through use on both.I did order another set to replace them, as I believe I received value for the price.

I can't speak to the longevity of it, but it's working as intended and I had ZERO issues with connectivity and given that it was a pack of two, there's value there for the money.

This set of SNES type controllers are a must for any retro gamer! It feels like the real thing, very comfortable and works very well. The cables are comfortably long. I have not encountered any game that it doesn't work with.

Received in new perfect condition. They look and feel pretty good, but unfortunately not completely compatible with my game console.

Crashes on most applications on OSX for some reason (mGBA, OpenEmu). Works for the browser though, I'm not sure why. Pretty low quality, but I guess you get what you pay for.

The media could not be loaded. The video demonstrates the D pad shift that may or may not be related.These controllers hurt my thumb padding really bad, even after playing only 2 (fast paced) levels of super Mario world. I hardly use them because of that. Im realizing I never had this problem as a kid, it might be the controller. It takes forever to heal, worse than guitar strings callouses.They click fine but perhaps it just requires too much pressure. The d pad is a hard material as well. Sounds obvious but I think my original controllers were a bit softer corner radius and more rubbery material. There is also a shifting as I show in the video. I don't think that's how the original was, I usually remember the little things like that as a kid. My memory as it does a rocking motion and had no shift.Plugs and plays smoothly with emulators on windows.
