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

Playing all the old-school NES, SNES, Genesis and MAME games without issue.

Good value for getting 2 controllers for the price of what some single ones cost. Bot as rigged and well built as some others or the originals. But responsive and definitely a great value.

Loved the product. Came on time; excellent quality.

We all know exactly what these SNES-like USB game pads are for. Ive owned and played a SNES since I was 4, I still have an original SNES controller and I use it a lot, so Im intimately familiar with how the genuine article looks and feels. By comparison, the kiwitata model feels slightly more rigid and less prone to flexing or bending, the surface feels smoother or slicker, its slightly darker in color, the shoulder buttons are a bit mushier, and the face buttons stand a bit taller. Its enough to catch me out sometimes, unless I manage to get properly immersed in a game. Its better than playing with the keyboard though. Oddly enough, when I first plugged them in, the computer didnt recognize them. I rebooted the machine, and it still didnt see the game controllers. I thought one might be dead on arrival, so I swapped to the other one, no joy. I rebooted the machine again, and lo and behold theyve been working fine ever since. Computers, amirite?

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 weve had no issues with them. To sum up, I appreciated the vendors effort to resolve the issue promptly. Following is the vendors 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

It works pretty good, kinda stiff at first and has a couple dead zones but its not too bad. Both of mine died without much warning. I did use them pretty heavy for practicing SNES speedruns, but not heavy enough to damage them.

If you want a nice SNES feel controller for PC, these are very good. If you want them for your Android (Kodi etc) box, look elsewhere, these are not detected on any of the 3 models I tested them on. But they are very good PC controllers!

Update as of 4-7-17: I had severe issues with the original 4 controllers, however Kiwitata contacted me and was willing to not only refund me, but send me 4 more controllers for the hassle. The new controllers are definitely better, but still a bit touchy. Thanks for the customer support. These guys stand behind their product, so give them a shot. --------------------------------------------- Original review: I did not have high hopes for these controllers, but was surprised at just how terrible my experience has been. I purchased two sets of two, so four controllers showed up today total. Now, this isnt my first rodeo with 3rd party controllers, so I expected stiff controls at first, but these are bad. Heres what Im experiencing with each controller (by the way 4 of 4 controllers have an issue: 1st Controller: Right on the D-Pad requires The Hulk to press it before its recognized, and when it does eventually break your thumb and work, it also causes you to move up. 2nd Controller: The Hulk better call She Hulk- The Start Button takes a lot of pressing to get it to function. 3rd Controller: Everything kind of works when it wants to.... thats not helpful. 4th controller: I just gave up at this point. One of the buttons didnt work. Oh, by the way, ALL of the control responses were super sluggish too. Im afraid these just arent going to cut it. These just arent worth the time or money. I will be returning these. Bummer too; they gain one star for being super lightweight and arriving on time. Thats something I guess.

works well

One controller came with in working buttons. Perhaps other buttons on the good controller don’t work either… won’t know until I okay a game that needs them
