> 3 dayThis is great for the genesis mini console. The wireless works well, no noticeable input lag and the controller feels good. That being said, the dongles for the actual Genesis console seem to be poorly designed in that you cant plug them both in without some angled USB adapter because the space between the two isnt wide enough to plug in a regular micro USB to provide it power.

> 3 dayI can finally play the Genesis without wires! I dont notice any additional lag, and the controller feels just like the regular six-button.

> 3 dayIf youre looking to get into emulating the Genesis and Saturn on PC this works great! Also good for fighting games like Mortal Kombat 11

> 3 dayI do not recommend. These dont look like the images. They look and feel like cheap plastic toys. If you must buy one, I think this looks the best thanks to the solid matte color. But it has the same under whelming feeling when using. Back to the appearance, have you ever been to the drug store and seen the cheap toys on the shelf. Thats what these remind me of. The feel of some buttons is decent, but could be better. I cant trust that it will last for a long time. I didnt listen to the warnings of other reviews. I cant believe Sega agreed to allow them to make these. Please save your money. Dont buy.

> 3 dayBeen using it on my Genesis, Mega Sg, Switch, PC, Genesis Mini, and laptop. Work extremely well. Despite competing with 8bitdo in certain aspects, they fall on button arrangement on PC and Switch, whereas the M30 does not have these issues. If you just want a Genesis/Genesis Mini controller without a cable, its a fantastic controller. Just dont plan on anything like Retroarch or Steam without a serious headache.

> 3 dayThis controller does offer long battery life, feels right to me having grown up playing the original Genesis, and works just fine... But theres a definite quality control problem with the plastic tabs that operate the D-pad. One of them broke within less than two hours of use, and contacting the manufacturer was no help. At least I was able to repair it myself with some super glue and none of the other tabs have snapped off.

> 3 dayGreat controller that is almost identical to the 90s counterpart. One of my 2 controllers came with a bad USB cable, but other than that they are great.

> 3 daySo recently I got the Mega SG from Analogue. Ive been using my official old wired 6 Button Genesis controller. But you know I wanted to try a wireless option. I saw that these were also officially licensed by Sega so I was like sure Ill give them a shot. And I must say Im extremely impressed. While the buttons and D-pad were slightly stiffer than a 25+ year old controller, the weight and feel of it were nearly identical. So much so I actually forgot I wasnt using my old wired controller and was using the new controller I bought. Just because it wasnt as loose as my original pad, doesnt mean it didnt perform just as well, and in a similar function. No D-pad issues, no button issues. No problems doing SRKs and Hadoukens in Street Fighter. It also is extremely fast to sync up. Over all Id give the controller a 10 out of 10. For being extremely faithful to the original, no input delay that I could tell, and it was extremely easy syncing up with the receivers. Though admittedly Ive only used the Genesis receiver, and not the usb one that also came with it. My only minor issue I had was trying to update the firmware in the Genesis Receiver. But it ended up working in the end, and was actually probably my computer, more so than the devices fault.
