As far as fighting game pads go, this is an amazing option. At $20, the Retro-Bit Saturn controller isn't just a steal for the cost, it's one of the best fighting game pads I've used. The classic Saturn D-PAD style is second to none. The buttons are responsive. It may feel a little bit light, but it is sturdy and has withstood more than a year of play with no signs of wear. The PS4 Hori Fighting Commander 4 is the only FGC dedicated game pad I'd rank above it, but only slightly. The build quality is a bit nicer and PS4 compatibility is great, but the overall playing experience is very comparable and that pad is lost to time being resold on eBay for $60-70+. Consider that an A+ option and this one, shipped to you the next day for a fraction of the cost, the A option. I'm not sure I've ever left an desertcart review and after some perusing of other controllers for fun, I felt inspired to share because there's simply no reason to move away from this thing. Buy it and enjoy. Review: Very Good Controller even beyond the nostalgia - I've always had a soft spot for the Genesis controller it fits perfectly in my hands and the way shape of the controller gives plenty of room to adjust your hands and fingers to how it feels best to you... similarly the Saturn controller was also a personal favorite even though I Only had a few 3rd Party controllers, but the Saturn was always just a 6 button Genesis controller with two shoulder buttons slapped onto it. I needed a D-Pad based controller for some platformers (Pizza Tower specifically) and so I thought to finally pick this up after eyeing it for a while. It's not the best controller I have ever used... the shoulder buttons could be a tad click-ier and have more travel, the D-Pad could be a bit tighter (closer to the 6 button genesis is my favorite but I figure the Saturn controller was looser), but in all honesty in the heat of gameplay I barely notice any of these issues. The shoulder buttons work perfectly well in gameplay and the D-Pad, besides accidentally pressing up once or twice, works flawlessly. Just be patient with Steam and it detecting the controller, as I had issues with it, and eventually you can get rolling with it. Overall I am very happy with this controller. Edit: Almost a year on and I think this is my favorite controller for platformers, period. I know people have trouble with Retro-Bit's build quality, and its fair but in my experience atleast it has lasted a year with some pretty rough handling and the controller has yet to quit working. I clocked in about 100 hours into Pizza Tower and it still works just as well as when I got it. ## Features - OFFICIALLY LICENSED BY SEGA – Manufactured under official Sega license for authentic design, premium quality, and faithful performance inspired by the original Sega Saturn controller. - WIDE DEVICE COMPATIBILITY – Works with Sega Genesis Mini, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, Steam, RetroPie, Raspberry Pi, and more for plug-and-play retro gaming. - SWITCH BETWEEN X-INPUT & D-INPUT – Easily toggle input modes by holding the START button for 5 seconds, ensuring compatibility with modern games and emulators. - EXTRA-LONG 10 FT CABLE – Enjoy comfortable gaming from your couch with a durable 10-foot USB cable that gives you more freedom to play. - BUILT FOR RETRO GAMERS – Original-grade build quality with comfortable ergonomics, responsive controls, and the authentic six-button layout trusted by Sega fans. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07SN9XKZK | | Additional Features | Touchpad | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,820 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #185 in PC Gamepads & Standard Controllers | | Brand | Retro-Bit | | Brand Name | Retro-Bit | | Button Quantity | 8 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Mac, PC | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | SEGA Genesis Mini, SEGA Saturn, Sony PlayStation 3 | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Controller Type | Gamepad | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 469 Reviews | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Included Components | Item | | Item Weight | 381 Grams | | Manufacturer | Retro-Bit | | Manufacturer Part Number | RB-SGA-023 | | Model Name | Model 2 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 849172010376 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Retro-Bit - **Compatible Devices:** Mac, PC - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Controller Type:** Gamepad - **Model Name:** Model 2 ## Images ![Retro-Bit SEGA Saturn Wired USB Controller - (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6118wct3PsL.jpg) ![Retro-Bit SEGA Saturn Wired USB Controller - (Black) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61hucQx5JXL.jpg) ![Retro-Bit SEGA Saturn Wired USB Controller - (Black) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DYqhKQ+XL.jpg) ![Retro-Bit SEGA Saturn Wired USB Controller - (Black) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51YPZ3ujgJL.jpg) ![Retro-Bit SEGA Saturn Wired USB Controller - (Black) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kzYlSEv2L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it vibrates?** A: No. It works exactly as the original Saturn controller.

The Sega Saturn gamepad was one of the best controllers ever made, with top-of-the-line design, ergonomics, and functionality. Retro-Bit has faithfully recreated this gamepad for modern platforms, and it performs every bit as well as the original. For that reason alone, this is a must-buy for fighting game fans, or even someone who wants a well-made, responsive controller for games that don't feature overly-conplicated controls. Where this gamepad falls short is in the placement of the ferrite bead on the cord. While this is necessary to negate electromagnetic interference (and the closer it's placed to the end of the cord, the better,) it's been unfortunately placed on this cord at a point that lines up precisely with the Switch dock's back cover cord notch. I say "unfortunately" because the bead is just too big to fit through that notch, making it impossible to close the dock cover. It's still possible to connect the controller & close the dock cover, but it's an unnecessary hassle that shouldn't be an issue to begin with. Of course, you can always just not close the dock cover, but it's there for a reason & this is still an oversight on Retro-Bit's part. Once you've got it connected, there's still the issue of not having enough buttons on the gamepad to perform all the functions of a Switch controller, but Retro-Bit has programmed in a few "Start + __" commands that allow functions like the Home button without actually having a dedicated Home button. Overall, at $20 it's really a required purchase. And once you're actually playing with it, you'll be impressed with it's responsiveness and performance. I just wish they'd rethought that damned cord. ## Frequently Bought Together - Retro-Bit Official Sega Saturn USB Controller Pad (Model 2) for Sega Genesis Mini, PS3, PC, Mac, Steam, Switch - USB Port (Black) - Retro-Bit Official Sega Saturn USB Controller Pad (Model 2) for Sega Genesis Mini, PS3, PC, Mac, Steam, Switch - USB Port (Slate Gray) - Retro-Bit Official Sega Genesis USB Controller 6-Button Arcade Pad for Sega Genesis Mini, PS3, PC, Mac, Steam, Switch - USB Port - (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/156985544-retro-bit-sega-saturn-wired-usb-controller-black](https://www.desertcart.de/products/156985544-retro-bit-sega-saturn-wired-usb-controller-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
