Retro-Bit Sega Genesis 2.4 Ghz Wireless Controller for Sega Genesis Original/Mini, Switch, PC, Mac - Includes Controller, 2 Receivers & Storage Case (Black)

Makes saving and Loading games so much easier on my genesis mini. I havent tried it on my pc yet. I hope it will work well on it as well.

Great product from RetroBit. This is almost an exact duplicate of the original controller produced by Sega. Obviously, I say that, because some buttons have been added. Aside, the Gloss/Piano finish, sections of the controller, are not quite as dense as the original... And, it is a plastic that scratches really easily, generally speaking. It actually had some subtle scratches on it, straight out of the box. Thats why I wish companies would stop using that plastic. Sure, it looks nice... But, you look at it, wrong, and it scratches. That would be my only reason for docking a point off the Quality Of Material rating. Other than that, the quality build, is good. Now, aside quality of material and build... This is, hands down, the best Sega Genesis controller, youre going to find, today. Its the most responsive, well built, reliable, Genesis controller on the market, today. The Buttons have just the right amount of click. Theres no latency, once so ever. The charge hold, is great. The reciever range is great. The Genesis had very few games that allowed for use of the shoulder buttons. And, unfortunately, there is no button mapping feature, to allow for more use of the shoulder buttons. Aside minor gripes... I highly recommend this controller.

I love that they kept the original design. Original is on the left and the one bought is on right. It is slightly slimmer and smaller than the original but we didnt feel like it was lacking in any way. No issues with connecting to our sega and plan to use with the switch and computer in the future!

Made of a nice hard plastic, buttons are receptive to commands. Inputs happen with zero noticeable lag. Fantastic controller for any retro gamer who is tired of cables making the retro set up look like crap. Love these controllers!

After trying out and buying the retrobit saturn bluetooth controller and being blown away at the build quality i bought a pair of these genesis 2.4 my mega retron hd. I will get a genesis mini during christmas and i can use these for that as well. Pairs up right away no hiccups, plays great. I play alot of shmups that require alot of accurate bullet dodging and these passed with flying colors. Recommended 100%.

I ordered this controller for my Genesis mainly because I wanted a more modern wireless solution. This controller does not disappoint. It comes with a nice case, a charging cable (micro-usb, why not usb-C?), and transmitters for both USB and for the Genesis 9-pin. So not only can I use it on the Genesis, but I can also use it on my PC. I also really like the way this controller feels in my hands, especially compared to the bulky three-button original Genesis controller. This one just fits nicely in my hands.

The controller is comfortable to hold, easy to get working and synced with included receiver, and completely removes the hassle of ever having to plug and unplug cords ever again. At this point having wireless controls for all retro consoles is a must and these fit that bill well for the sega genesis. The SEGA branding on the controllers themselves pushes these over the edge since similar wireless options do not have that. It makes them look stock like the video game console from the 90s would have had these as an option even back then. A must by for anyone still playing SEGA consoles in 2021. Only drawback is they charge with micro usb instead of usb C.

I dont recommend this if youre buying it for use with the Switch like I did. I have the Sega Classics collection and it is pretty useless for those games. There is no in-game button mapping option and you cant map this controller through the Switch settings either. This means your stuck with the crappy layout for that collection. There are other Sega Ages games I wanted to buy but it appears I wont be able to properly map those either. The C and Z buttons are mapped to ZL and RL which makes the standard Sega 6 button layout impossible through the in-game mapping . Whats the point of using this if I cant set it up like the original Sega 6 button controller? I was going to still give it 3 stars but theres a couple other annoying issues. I turned off my Switch (not sleep mode but completely off) and the USB receiver LED kept flashing. This was 45 minutes after I turned it off. Thats just stupid. I hope Im missing something here? Did I do something wrong or does this thing just keep searching until its unplugged? Also the location of the pairing button. Really brilliant idea to locate that in a spot where the switch is blocking access to it. This controller could have been perfect. Such a shame.

I purchased this wireless controller recently to use with my PC and I was hoping it would also work with my Atari. Great news! It works. So lets start with the good things: The look and the packaging are both outstanding. It comes with a nice case that holds the controller, the 2 dongles, USB cord and manual. It works with a wide variety of systems, including the Atari 2600 and 7800 (one-button only). I have yet to test on my Atari computer and original Genesis, but those should work fine with it too. Now for some not-so-good things: the controller is very light, which seems a bit odd. I never had this particular model of wired Genesis controller, so I cant really compare it though. Actually the only Genesis controller I have is a wired Hyperkin 6-button which is bigger and seems heavier. They could have put some weights in it. Just sayin. But the worst thing about this controller has to do with pairing. It should be automatic, and many times it is not. The controller and receiver lose their connection somewhat quickly when power is shut off to the system, then they need to be paired again by holding down buttons on both the dongle and controller. This is not so much of an issue on the PC, where you can switch games and emulators quickly without ever shuttling down the system, but with a console, you typically have to. I found that on the Atari 2600, if you swap out cartridges quickly (within 10 seconds or so) it will usually automatically re-pair itself. It didnt always do that on the Atari 7800 however and I had to fight with the pairing buttons again. Also, with emulators on the PC, you will have to go into the settings and manually configure some of them (for example, in Stella, you will have to set the inputs to move up or down manually). Anyway, for $35, I was expecting a little better. For a comparison, the Blue Lake wireless PS2 controllers, while not Genesis compatible, are half the price, work great with PCs, and always pair automatically.

There are plenty of reviews out there. I plugged into my original Sega Genesis model 2 and it worked like a charm, plugged the other into a sega genesis mini and it worked great. You have to sync it every-time you change consoles. Works great! better than dealing with all the wires of the standard controllers.
