Great Value

When I ordered these I wasn't really expecting them to be good quality at this price, but figured it would be nice to have them to use with Retropie every once in awhile. I have had them for a few days now and have to say they completely exceeded my expectations. The first time I used the SNES controller the DPad did stick for a second when scrolling through the menu screen. However, it got hours of use after that and never had another issue. All 4 of the other controllers I have had zero issues with. The weight on them is pretty decent. If you are expecting top of the line competitive gaming quality then these definitely aren't going to be for you. I factored the price into the 5 stars. I've bought a countless number of retro controllers throughout the years and these seem to be the best overall value I have come across. To sum it up, these are not top of the line that you would expect when paying a premium price for a controller, but they are much better than any controllers I have ever got near this price range. For the price I would absolutely recommend this set. I have been very pleased.

Great price, great controllers, and if you need it great customer service

(slightly edited after using the controllers for a few weeks and initiating a replacement with the company) These controllers feel just like the originals. I'm not sure if my memory is just fuzzy or not, but I can't tell the difference. I shopped around for a few days, trying to find the controllers I wanted most and decided to go with this simply because it was the best way to get all of the controllers at once. Now, after having used them for a few weeks, I would recommend to anyone because they work great and give you that retro feel (much better than a generic controller or using an Xbox controller for everything). If you're looking for the classic feel (after tweaking some emulator settings for the N64 anyway), this is a good way to go. The only problem I had for a day is that something shook loose in the PlayStation controller and when using the d-pad the character will move up and to the left when I'm not pressing anything. I e-mailed them on a Saturday, they responded in one hour and overnighted me a replacement for free. So I'm up and running with a full set of working controllers and I've been using them every day. That's some of the best customer service I've ever gotten. So the product is great, and if you need it the support is even better. If you're stuck on which controllers to buy, I would choose these in a heartbeat.

You can't beat this package.

This is a must buy for emulation play with a buddy. I'm currently using them with LaunchBox on my TV and it brings back that true feeling of couch console gaming. I excluded a durability rating and will return later down the road for that one. All controllers seem to be functioning properly out of the box, so that's a great start when you're getting 10 of something (I bought 2 sets). Controller Build Quality/Weight: NES: Good plastic, noticeably lighter than original. SNES: Very close body match, nearly perfect weight. Genesis: Cheap plastic, noticeably lighter than original. N64: Very close body match, just slightly underweight. PS1: Very close body match, nearly perfect weight. Controller Buttons: NES: D-pad is cheap & sharp, buttons sharp and a bit loose. SNES: Near perfect SNES feel to d-pad & face + shoulder buttons. Genesis: Everything about this controller feels cheap AF (is this normal? I had the 3 button growing up, not the 6) N64: Near perfect feel to d-pad and all buttons/triggers. Did not expect joystick to work so well. PS1: Near perfect feel to entire controller. Summary: The NES and Genesis controllers are cheap, the other 3 you won't even notice they're third party once you get playing for a bit. An excellent deal for this bundle. No of the "cheapness" I mention took off from my overall star rating, as for less than $50 you cannot beat this package. Think of it as you're buying 3 GOOD emulation controllers and they're throwing in 2 other okay ones as a bonus.

It's almost like plugging in an original controller.

NES Controller: Works fine. Feels like what I remember a factory NES controller would feel like. SNES Controller. Feels like what I remember a factory SNES controller would feel like. Sega Genesis Controller: Never owned a Genesis / Mega Drive, but it feels like I would expect. I did notice that with the D-Pad, you're able to push it in the center, and it would push all four directions down at once. I think I remember hearing that the original controller D-Pad didn't have the rocker nub under it either. Other than that, good controller. N64 Controller: The controller feels like a factory N64 controller should. Surprisingly the N64 controller has the area where you'd plug in a mempack or rumble pack, although there's no electronics to connect to, so you can't connect a mempack, rumble pack, or any other pack to it. It does have the retaining clip though, which I thought was odd. The stick feels like a factory one. I don't think they're using a factory style stick that has optical wheels, but a newer style "replacement" one that uses potentiometers. Still works fine though. PS1 / PS2 Controller: The PS1 / PS2 controller has no rumble motors, but that's to be expected. Both analog sticks are a little tight, just like a factory controller would be. Play with it for about six months, and it'll probably break in and be butter smooth. Pros: All of the controllers feel like you're plugging an original controller into your computer instead of your game system. Cord length on each controller is good, at roughly 6 feet long. If you need longer, get a USB extension cable. The buttons aren't mushy, it looks like they use the same kind of buttons that the originals use (carbon film on rubber). If I were given one of these controllers and an original controller, I honestly don't think I could tell the difference. They're just as durable as an original controller. They're not made of flimsy thin plastic. I tried giving the "rage gamer" test to both the N64 controller in this pack and my original N64 controller in where I gripped the two outside handles and twisted them; it had the same amount of flex and give as the one in this pack and they were pretty much exactly the same, almost no flex whatsoever. Cons: I do think the controllers could have been a little heavier though, to get the weight to what I expected them to be, though I don't have an original controller for any of them any longer to compare the weight with, except for the N64 and the PS1 / PS2 controllers. The original N64 controller feels slightly heavier, roughly four US quarters in difference. The same with the PS1 / PS2 controller, though the original controller has two rumble motors, whereas the one one included in this pack doesn't have any rumble motors. If the maker would put in a weight of some sort to "fake" the weight of the motors, I wouldn't be able to tell it was connected to a PC instead of a game console. I've tried all of the controllers in a PC and a Raspberry Pi, and they work as intended. If I were given a blind "taste test", I generally wouldn't be able to tell a difference between one of these controllers, and one that came with the original console. All in all, I think this was a good buy.

Too good to be true

Around $40 bucks for 5 above average after market USB controllers? Too good to be true? Not here. Quality wise the PS1, N64 and SNES were excellent with me even noticing the N64 controller being nicer than most of the aftermarket N64 controllers out when the actual console was out. You know the Madcatz ones or so that you handed to the friend staying over or the younger brother? Better than that. The NES controller is alright, but the Genesis controller is pretty sub par compared to the others. The d-pad feels off and a bit cheap, but still like the other controllers it's not terrible like these kind of controllers can be. Definitely friends, and girlfriend who have used all of these controllers in some way or another agree these are solid, and are blown away it was $40 all together for all 5, yet are quality. Oh, and the box it comes in is freaking awesome (I took out the plastic and store the controllers in it) and the extension cord is an added bonus. Excellent deal to compliment Retropie and I suggest buying two so you have a pair of each controller.

Great Customer Service

Four of the controllers worked great right out of the box on both my MacBook and RetroPie. The only issue I had was with the joysticks on the PS style controller. I contacted the seller and they immediately sent a replacement, which I recieved two days later. As for the controllers themselves, they are lighter than the originals, but that’s to be expected. Button presses are responsive and all work great on every system I tested so far. Overall, great seller, controllers are surprisingly good for the price, definitely recommend.

Bang for your buck, great quality!!!

Tested all of the controllers today and they had surpassed my expectations, great value and great quality. In my opinion most of these 1:1 spot on replicas except for the n64 expansion port slot (not complaining at all) and they were all plug and play ready to use for my pc emulation set up! Would highly recommend and suggest that you pull the plug and purchase them as I’m going back to grab another set!

Great feel and overall usability!

I bought these for use with Hyperspin. These are great as I configured each controller for its respective system, and now I have the same configuration as the original game system controllers when I play games. I really like the N64 controller. I'd tried another controller and the analog stick on this one is by far better than the other one I tried. The NES and SNES controllers work great, as does the 6-button Genesis controller. The PS2 controller also feels great and I use it as a secondary MAME/Neo Geo/FBA controller when I want something to hold in my hands as opposed to my arcade stick (which is a little bulky). I was a little worried before ordering, as some of the other controllers I tried felt very cheap, but overall I am impressed with this set and it was an excellent value.

I found the best controller here.

I bought these to try out with the current software running on my old Sony Vaio laptop (which I mainly use to store backups of Japanese PS1 games I've imported). My ol' classic Japanese PlayStation console was stolen so I've been looking for a usb version of the Dualshock controller to use with the best emulator. Well, I found the best controller here. I'm tempted to buy this set again just to have two of these PS2 replica controllers! The hunt for the best software configuration is finally over. I recently reviewed the Canakit containing the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and it has surpassed my expectations. Any of these controllers can be configured to work with the hardware running Retropie (current and previous versions). Just experiment with these controllers - they're durable and responsive. They may not be identical to the originals but they come damn close and the box they're contained in is a showpiece in and of itself.

Nostalgia ready.

All 5 controllers work without problems and the extender cord is 10' giving you 16' to play with. They also come in a nicely organized box that I decided to keep. At this price the controllers are 8 usd a piece and the extender is free.
