Retro Memories Return
Worked straight away right out the box. No fuss, No installation just simply plug and play. Feels like the original controller with great feedback from the buttons.

Rough start, good final result
I noted the reviews that said something along the lines of "you get what you pay for." My experience is as follows: - I received the controllers, hooked them up to a raspberry pi emulator, and tested the units - The units worked, but performance was unpredictable and inconsistent - I reached out to the vendor (kiwitata). The vendor responded fairly promptly, and sent replacement controllers. - The replacement controllers worked much better, and we've had no issues with them. To sum up, I appreciated the vendor's effort to resolve the issue promptly. Following is the vendor's email response: Dear Adam, Thanks for your contact. And we apologize for the inconvenience caused to u. We’ve contacted you on Aug 13 and hope to solve this issue after we saw your 3 star feedbacks on Amazon. But message undelivered. Yes, the D-pad seems defective. We are willing to re-send one set to you for replacement free of charge. You are also not need to return the defective ones. The new set has been improved by our factory. Please see attached controller printed “Kiwitata” logo. The appearance of the controllers is the same with the one you got. But it is not the same. The improved one is made of new mold and the one you buy that is made of old mold. The difference between the two is: 1. Materials are not the same. The material of the new one is ABS. Good gloss, especially A B button. 2. The new one will be more texture. It is a little bit heavier than the old one. High quality feel. 3. The new version button function is more accurate, faster response. 4. The main difference is the electronic components inside the circuit board are not the same. The functional modules have been improved. We will not let disappointed again. The tracking number will be provided to you tomorrow. We sincerely hope to help solve your problem and give you a good shopping experience. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us. Sincerely, Kiwitata

Works great with my raspberry pi!
I was skeptical because of the mixed reviews but decided to give these a try before I spent twice as much on more expensive options. Only had them a few days but so far so good. All the buttons work properly and there doesn't seem to be any delay whatsoever, Works fantastic with my Raspberry Pi.

Pretty decent controllers
I needed a SNES controller for my video game review series Georg Mack Plays the Classics. I hemmed and hawed for awhile and decided on these. So far, they've been great. They feel good, buttons are nice, and compatibility for what I want is there. If I wear them out, I'll buy them again at this point. Update: It took a little over a year of heavy use for both controllers to end up having issues. I would take one with my laptop and use it a ton. The wire casing separated with both controllers (one taking the wires with it) and the B button got sticky through use on both. I did order another set to replace them, as I believe I received value for the price.

Good remotes
Left joystick stopped working. Not sure why. Overall these look and feel great just like the old originals. Price is good and it is easy to connect to my pc or raspberry pi with usb. For some reason thought the joypad both up and left buttons stopped working. I tried to do remapping downloaded other software and nothing.

Feels just like the originals used to! Faithful recreation
These have been quite nice. I have them for light use at my desk for games and streaming so I haven't seen the wires pull out or anything yet, but I can say that the button pushes feel just like the old set I have in the closet. I know some people say that the buttons are hard to push, but personally these are easier than my original SNES controllers that had some DPAD inputs that were so stiff that it felt like you might have to stand on them to get them to register. By comparison these are smooth and comfortable. All in all, very happy with the price and quality for might purposes.

Great for 8 -16 bit retro games
Works fine. Very light. Almost exact clone of the original snes controller. Good cable length. Buttons react with almost no lag. My kids enjoy being able to play 2 player retro games with them. Excellent for the price tag.

As many others have complained and mentioned before, I too experience the D-pads to stick. Sometimes you may press Left or Right on the D-Pad and the Down button gets stuck and then you scroll all the way down on a menu. Or even sometimes during game play the same thing will occur. The D-Pad is not snug within the controller and is able to move around. This is probably what is causing this issue. The other buttons seem to be working and responding as they should. I connected the controller to a Raspberry Pi and it was responsive right away. Update: After my initial review, customer service contacted me because they were sad to see my defective controllers. They sent me two new controllers free of charge in order to have better customer satisfaction, and it worked. The new controllers (this time with the multi color buttons) are of the same make, work absolutely fine. I just plugged them to the Pi and right away the system recognized the inputs and I was able to play. The D-Pad is more snug for the newer remotes and the buttons seem to be more responsive due to a tighter fit. Overall I recommend these controllers, no remote input required, they have great customer service. I even ordered some other products from the same supplier because of this.

Been using the controllers since 2017, on and off, about 3-4 times per year. Work as intended. In 2024, starts been glitchy on the Y button. Ok if you want to play SNES games

These controllers work very nicely for the price they are sold for. All of the buttons are responsive and it fits in the hand like a normal SNES controller. I haven't had any issues with input lag. The start and select button require less pressure than my real SNES controllers, which is nice. This is a good deal if you're looking for two SNES usb controllers. This company also offers very good customer support and if you're having any issues with the product they'll sort it out with you very quickly. There's really no way to go wrong with these! The controllers are a bit lighter than a real SNES controller, but it does not affect gameplay at all, and it's actually something I kind of like about them. The wire for the controllers is not very long, so you won't be able to play from very far away from your console. Overall the controllers are good and the customer service is great, I would definitely recommend them

I have to explain that I actually changed my review from bad to great. The first controllers I received were not very good. They didn't work properly and were not suited for fast paced games with a lot of quick movements. I returned them and had left a bad review. The company contacted me and sent me two new controllers that they said to have fixed and made better. I was a bit skeptical, but they actually did. Tried the new controllers and they actually work great. I played the same game I tested the other ones with and, to my surprise, I wan't dying every 2 seconds because my character wouldn't budge. I actually was able to get pretty far in the game, something that was impossible with the fist two controllers. Great company to deal with. They actually listened to my complaints, fixed the controller and sent me two to test and review. I have to say that I have received a refund and got the two new controller at no charge. If the would have been bad, I would have said so, free or not. I also want to point out that I have, as of today, proposed to send the controllers back to them if they want them back. My goal was not to get 2 free controllers out of all this. I hope yours work as well as the ones I received.
