2X Classic SNES USB Controller for Retro Gamings, kiwitatá Super NES Wired USB Joypad Game Controller for Windows PC Mac Raspberry Pi

There is nothing to dislike about this product or seller. Shipping was quick. Controllers work great and resemble the old snes ones. I use them on all my emulators because they are so light and simple.

Ive been using the controllers to beat Donkey Kong for the SNES on an emulator and the controllers are perfect! My girlfriend and I have used them 3 times so far and seem to be extremely responsive especially the Dpad. The buttons are firm as the controller is new but they have a great feel to them and are responsive. Only issue we have is that the cables are pretty short but theyre true to the SNES thats for sure! would recommend to any friend but pick up usb extenders if you plan to use them for couch gaming instead of a desk setup!!! Plus if any issues occur they do offer money back / replacement options!!!

This couldve been a perfect controller. Size, shape, responsiveness all good. However one of them stopped working in under a month. Thats fine I thought, I still have another one. Well that other one stopped working in under a month too.

I really wanted to like these controllers. I bought a couple from ebay a year or two ago, and the N64 style controller worked pretty well, but the SNES style had a defective Dpad, so the left and right basically didnt work, and up only worked occasionally, so the only consistently functional direction was down. I contacted Kiwitata to see if theyd send me one that worked, and they insisted I download OpenEmu and test the controller there instead of the online emulators Id been using. I jumped through the hoop and got the exact same findings on OpenEmu, and then they tried to get me to jump through another hoop. I decided that wasnt worth the $5 or whatever that I had paid, so I blew them off. Here a couple of months ago, I read reviews that these newer controllers had fixed the Dpad issue, and I was excited to give them a try, so I bought this 2 pack, which arrived a day earlier than planned! I plugged them in, and one controller had left engaged constantly, so not touching the controller caused my character to run to the left, and the other had a similar issue as the old ones, where pressing left or right only engaged up or down. I sent a message through Amazon, hoping for the same outcome as another reviewer had had, that the seller would send a replacement that worked, but instead I got the same run around as before - they wanted me to download OpenEmu and send a screenshot of my key bindings, as if that was going to address my issue in any way. I wrote back saying I had already jumped through this hoop before and it got me nowhere, and they never responded after that. Im more than a little jealous of those who have bought these and gotten functional controllers. If and when I buy again (Im a casual gamer at best), Ill definitely go with another brand, though Im not at all confident at this point that any of these cheap knockoff brands have the quality control to guarantee Ill get something that I can use.

So, Ive now tested four different controllers, and they all have the same problem; they all seem to be constantly sending the signal for the POV Up Input, which isnt an actual input on said controllers. Basically, the input acts the same as the normal up input on the directional pad, but exists separate from it, so for games where you cant set a single movement options (EX: Steam version of Chrono Trigger) the game is un-playable. Luckily, when emulating games, this isnt an issue as you can just change the input bind to the normal up and that takes care of the problem. Ill highly recommend the controller for playing emulated games, but for anything other than that, Id stay far away from it.

Its understandable that these wouldnt be that great given the price. However, they have one specific reason, and that is to play emulated games. The controller doesnt have the ability to map D-pad combinations(Up+Left, Up+Right, etc.) so for most games its pretty useless.

I had a difficult time setting up the controllers to work with Mojave, but their customer service department contacted me and walked me through it. An excellent company and a good product.

Started using emulators on my PC and bought this so I could play SNES games. Since most modulators let you map buttons, I also use it for NES games which is great because at first I thought Id have to buy both. So far, no issues.

Two controllers came with minor blemishes. They felt lighter than authentic SNES controllers. However the size felt accurate and the buttons were responsive and clicky. The worst fault though was the directional (D-)pad. There is no anchor, so the entire D-pad can be pressed down, all 4 directions simultaneously. What results is several miss inputs while playing action games (e.g. Super Metroid). Samus will begin targeting angle up while running to the right or will stop spinning while executing a continuous wall jump. Outside of action titles, these controllers are respectable. Just beware using these on games that require any precise movement.
