8Bitdo SN30 2.4G Wireless Gamepad for Original SNES/SFC (SN Edition) - Super NES for PC

This Controller is Fantastic! It feels and looks just like an original Snes Controller. In my case the controller actually felt better than my original Snes controllers due to age. Once you connect the controller plug into the console, turn it on, press start and thats it! Keep in mind this controller is designed to be used with your original Super Nintendo Entertainment System, so it will not work on other platforms/systems without some kind of an adapter. After a couple minutes of use i noticed that there is a slight input delay, i am using a Retrotink2x upscaler for a virtually lagless experience. The input delay could be worsened depending on the equipment you use potentially including wireless interference from other devices. The input delay has tripped me up here and there but overall isnt that bad and i think its something that with a little time you can get around it. Overall, very happy with this product and highly recommend!

I hated the original controller that came with my Retron 5, so having this made things a game changer. Although I prefer the Genesis controller for Genesis games, this isnt a bad substitute.

Ive been using this for the Retron 5 I bought (because the Super NT is sold out and Im skeptical of buying actual an SNES out of fear of being scammed). It works. Plain and simple. I like it. It feels right. I do also have an original SNES controller (I bought it after this), and its the same dimensions and practically the same, albeit some rather minor alterations. Ill admit that I do tend to prefer the feel of the original controller at times simply because that ones been broken in already (duh) and is easier to do Street Fighter II combos on because of it, but the SN30 wireless works great. Its high quality. It almost feels like it was done by Nintendo. Its buttons are the right mixture of clicky and soft/silent. It feels familiar. It...just feels great. Ya know? I dont really know what else to say. Id recommend buy this. I know that every once in a while someone gets a really bad controller, and they wind up rating it 1 or 2 stars because of it, but I can reassure you that this is worth getting and if you get a bad copy, is worth getting a replacement for. The only possible downfall (and I do mean possible because Im still not 100% sure on this, really) is that sometimes there does seem to be SOME amount of delay between button press and game response. But its rather minor. And Im honestly not even sure if that delay is really there at all, and if it is, if its the controller or the Retron 5. It seems really minor, and I only think its there when I play Super Mario World because it sometimes seems like I can press B while running towards an edge and Mario doesnt jump, but that might just be my own timing or misunderstanding of the games physics. Like I said. It works. It works so far, and it doesnt look like itll stop anytime soon. 10/10, would recommend.

Buen producto

Wonderful controller for snes.

got this for super nt works good.

Only complaint so far (after using it with both the retron 5 and an original snes) is that it seems like the receiver sucks so much power that the original snes can’t start up. I eventually figured out I needed to unplug the receiver, turn the console on, and then plug it back in and it would seemingly work fine afterward.

Update: I exchanged the controller I had an issue with for another one here on Amazon and it doesnt have this issue. Very happy overall with the quality of this controller. I upgraded my review to three stars. Not because the product itself, when working correctly, isnt worthy of 4 or 5. But because I think this is an issue that needs attention drawn to it. If I had a bad unit others might also. I want people to be aware and check to make sure the controllers you order are problem free. If I had 100% confidence in quality control itd be a 4 star product. If in addition it had a USB receiver option, itd be a 5 star product. Original Review: The D pad on the SN edition wont respond to up on the d-pad unless you press it with considerably more force than the other directions. The SF edition doesnt have this problem. I tried to remedy it by replacing the rubber membrane with one I had laying around and that didnt work and felt mushier. Will be sending one of these controllers back for replacement. Apart from that, the fit and finish are sublime and the only thing holding it back from perfection is the lack of availability of a USB receiver for PC or MiSTer. Still, for original hardware these would easily replace my standard bluetooth editions (especially since I couldnt use two of those at the same time without them interfering with one another). Im just very disappointed that the D pad doesnt work on one of the controllers. Will update when I receive a replacement.

I own 4 different older 8bitdo controllers and they have unusable d-pads. Its impossible to switch cardinal directions without hitting diagonals. This is NOT how NES/SNES controllers are supposed to work. Well, they finally fixed it with these models! These are virtually perfect. Low latency, work correctly on original hardware, and they feel right. I am including an image to show that they really did fix the d-pad problems: the new 2.4G model (on the right) has contacts shaped like a real SNES controller. The old bluetooth style on the left has the usual 8bitdo quad contacts that do not work correctly. I 100% recommend these. They come paired out of the box, have no discernible latency, and play great.

My retro gaming addiction has been satiated! This is so helpful and easy to use. I cant believe it exists. Boyfriend and I use it often and it hasnt stopped working yet, 3 weeks in.
