155 customers mention130 positive25 negative

Customers like the performance of the video game controller. They mention that it works flawlessly, has a SNES gamepad in their hands, and works right out of the box.

Customers like the durability of the video game controller. They mention that it feels almost up to the quality of an original SNES controller, and is a pretty good product. The controller itself feels pretty solid, and it's the gold standard for emulation and usage. Some mention that the materials feel like typical modern Chinese plastic, but the USB cord is perfect.

Customers are mixed about the buttons of the video game controller. Some mention that they are very responsive and feel good, while others say that they're not as perfect as an original SNES controller, have enough resistance to pressing, and lose their robustness quickly.

"...Read: It's not responsive)When playing games that are D Pad heavy (like Pac Man) it becomes almost unusable...." Read more

"...I am actually surprised by how well the inputs register - no noticeable latency!..." Read more

"This controller is a really good one for speedrunning in particular...." Read more

Not perfect, but the best inexpensive SNES-style USB controller that I've found.

Not perfect, but the best inexpensive SNES-style USB controller that I've found.
This is the best inexpensive SNES-style USB controller that I have found.Is it as good as an original SNES controller? No. The buttons are not as perfect as an original SNES controller, and it's a little lighter. Some reviewers have complained of &#34;ghost D-pad inputs,&#34; and I have experienced that before. So, again, it's not a perfect controller! But, it is good for the price and overall good enough. Just please don't expect perfection, and you'll likely be satisfied...I'm actually not sure where exactly you could get a &#34;perfect&#34; SNES USB controller, short of getting an adapter and using an original SNES controller.Since it's the best value I've found, I still give it 5 stars. This is my default controller for RetroPie.Now, you might be comparing the two &#34;Buffalo Classic USB&#34; controllers offered on Amazon (as of late June 2017) and wondering what the heck the difference is between the BSGP815 (this product listing) and the older BSGP801 (Buffalo iBuffalo Classic USB Gamepad for PC BSGP801GY). I own them both. &#62; Size/shape: As far as I can tell, they're the same size, shape, and roughly the same color. The gray is a little grayer on the 815 and the gray is a little whiter on the 801, but I'm not sure which one more faithfully matches the official SNES color. The cord on the 815 is a few inches longer, but they both have decently long cords. I'm estimating, but maybe ~6 feet (72 inches) for 801 and ~6.5 feet (78 inches) for 815. &#62; Feel: They are very similar. The 801 is a little &#34;louder&#34; when you press the XYAB buttons versus the 815. That may convey a better feel along with the haptic (sound) feedback, perhaps? Hard for me to definitively tell. Performance difference? Also hard for me to definitively tell. If you want a quieter controller, though, it's the 815. &#62; Compatibility: The 815 is officially compatible with newer operating systems (Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP/2000/Me) and the 801 is officially compatible with only Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000/Me. I have not tested all of these, so I don't know if it's true. &#62; Writing on them: The model numbers are on the back of each model, and the 801 says &#34;iBuffalo&#34; on the front whereas the 815 only says &#34;Buffalo.&#34; I've included a picture of both controllers.&#62; Turbo/clear: I don't really use them, but to enable auto-fire for a particular button, you hold &#34;turbo&#34; and push and release a particular button. That particular button will now auto-fire when held down. To clear a particular button, use the same method except hold &#34;clear&#34; instead of &#34;turbo.&#34;So, again, just don't expect perfect &#34;SNES feel&#34; and you will be pleased with these--especially if you have tried some of the other poor-performing USB controllers.The only sort of addendum to all of this is there is a bluetooth wireless SNES USB controller that seems to have very good reviews. I have not tried it, but it is worth a look: 8bitdo SNES30 Wireless Bluetooth Controller Dual Classic Joystick for IOS / Android Gamepad - PC Mac Linux (Note it's roughly double the price of the Buffalo controllers as of this writing, and all wireless controllers inherently have yet another variable to contend with: wireless signal issues!)Hope some of this helps! Very happy gaming to you!

This is the best inexpensive SNES-style USB controller that I have found.

Is it as good as an original SNES controller? No. The buttons are not as perfect as an original SNES controller, and it's a little lighter. Some reviewers have complained of "ghost D-pad inputs," and I have experienced that before. So, again, it's not a perfect controller! But, it is good for the price and overall good enough.

Since it's the best value I've found, I still give it 5 stars. This is my default controller for RetroPie.

Now, you might be comparing the two "Buffalo Classic USB" controllers offered on Amazon (as of late June 2017) and wondering what the heck the difference is between the BSGP815 (this product listing) and the older BSGP801 ([[ASIN:B002B9XB0E Buffalo iBuffalo Classic USB Gamepad for PC BSGP801GY]]). I own them both.

> Size/shape: As far as I can tell, they're the same size, shape, and roughly the same color. The gray is a little grayer on the 815 and the gray is a little whiter on the 801, but I'm not sure which one more faithfully matches the official SNES color.

So, again, just don't expect perfect "SNES feel" and you will be pleased with these--especially if you have tried some of the other poor-performing USB controllers.
