Born for retro-gaming
It's a controller with a very good overall feel, perfect for retro-gaming on raspberry Pi and PC without any imput-lag and precise.
Its directional cross is more like a Gameboy and the implementation of the select and start buttons are also inspired by this handheld console.
The wireless version is preferable if you want greater compatibility, or this version if you don't want to bother with recharging or changing the battery after several hundred charging cycles.
However, on MacOs you can install the 1.0.0-alpha.5 driver for xbox 360 available on github.com to use it on emulators like OpenEmu.Pro
- Solid and durable design
- precise analogue sticks
- L2 and R2 buttons well implemented
- similar feeling to the original snes controller
- x and y buttons as on the US snes version
- Well-made USB cable
Contra
- not MacOs compatible

- High compatibility trough many and different platforms
- Nice buttons
- Ergonomic, lightweight and very portable
- Easy to pair and use
