These appeared to work well at first. They were very cheap and appeared to be worthwhile. We discovered some serious problems with the D- after a weekend of heavy use with friends. pad. Simply trying out a game and playing some fairly competitive games (we mostly did NHL '94 and '95 as well as Super Punch Out! ) we became aware of the D- It was a little difficult to get the pad to be precise. Unless you place your fingers very carefully, pressing L or R will sometimes result in UP or DOWN. Normally, this isn't a problem, but it can be a real pain in the neck when playing games that require a lot of precision. br>br>While one of the controllers appeared to be more problematic than the other, it was present on both. Again, not bad for casual gaming, but frustrating when it comes to precision gaming.

I bought these for my boyfriend's birthday last year. He damaged his hands as soon as he got them, rendering them useless for fine motor skills. He started using the controllers two months ago after completing his physical rehabilitation. He was overjoyed to be able to put them to use and show me all of the old games he used to play with his grandmother as a kid. The buttons, however, are stuck. It wasn't bad at first, but now if he holds down the Y button to run in Mario and then presses the B button to jump, the buttons simply stay pressed down. On his third game over in Donkey Kong Country's world one, he has a hard time using his hands, and the buttons sticking sucked the joy right out of his face. He claims that purchasing and replacing silicon pads will solve the problem. But I'm not sure how I'd go about doing it. That shouldn't be the case, given how infrequently they've been used. Hopefully, I'll be able to get him some new ones for Christmas in a few months.

These are fantastic for the price, but I would pay more for a higher quality product. br>br>What I mean is that they function properly and, in terms of size, shape, and feel, they are identical to the original SNES controller. My wife enjoys playing the classic game she grew up with, but she always commented on how strange it felt to play with an Xbox controller, so I bought her these. br>br>She claims that they are much more comfortable for her and that she enjoys wearing them. I took one out for a test drive to see how well it performed. There were no problems with the D-. Pressing Up on the pad and having it register as Up is a good example. Anything goes, including the left. It appears to be accurate, and I had no issues with it during my use. The buttons work fine as well, but they have a cheap plastic feel to them and don't have the same solid feel as the original SNES controllers. I'd gladly pay ten dollars if it were possible. For an extra $20, you can get controllers that are built to the same high standard as the originals. br>br>To sum it up: These are an excellent value for the money, and they perform admirably, but they could be better.

If you want a better gaming experience, suggest something else. For casual games, these are adequate controllers. Because it's so cheap and the dpad isn't accurate, I wasn't expecting it to be precise. This is not an issue in casual games such as Mario, Mario Kart, sports games, most beam ups, and puzzle games. br>br>What is the significance of dpad accuracy? If you play games like Contra or Street Fighter and rely on the directional buttons to execute precise moves, you'll find that using these controllers is extremely frustrating because they simply don't do the job as well as the originals. For example, you may notice that pressing down causes your character to move sideways at times, or that attempting to do anything that requires diagonal accuracy will be difficult. br>br>Overall, they're decently priced controllers for casual gaming (I used them without issue for my retropie). They've nailed the retro snes look, and that's about all I have to say about that. I would recommend the Logitech F310 for better accuracy wired controllers at a reasonable price. For an additional fee, they also offer a wireless version. Instead of these, I've been using the Logitechs for my retropie because I want my dpads to work the way I expect them to, not just look like snes controllers for the sake of looking like them. As a result, I cannot recommend them to anyone who wants to complete all of the levels in their games, or who wants to play any fighting games or side scrollers that require precise dpads.

I don't know the difference between these and the originals when I'm playing. These are what I use with my Raspberry Pi and my MacBook Pro. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and enjoy using the controllers.

So it's possible I'm addicted to the Raspberry Pi. Anyway, I purchased six of these controllers and received four additional replacements. It's fine to press the button. I prefer the Buffalo ones for that, but they're a little more expensive at around $20 each. I have one for when I'm playing Super Metroid and want to do some wall jumping. Otherwise, they're fine. br>br>However, why the substitutions? Three of them died on me, but I NEXT contacted me after reading my review and sent me four replacements. My original two are now about a year old and still going strong, and the new ones are doing the same, so I'm guessing I got some that were defective. Manufacturing, possible water damage, or who knows what else. But the bottom line is that they work well, and the company shows that it cares by tracking me down and replacing them.
