Sega USB Control Pad

Post by Cugel »

Any opinions of the Sega USB Control Pad from people that own one? Does it feel like a real Saturn pad or is it too stiff?

I have the black model of that controller, and I have to say it's the most responsive PC pad I have ever used. I would not hesitate to recommend it.
You're arguing for a universe with fewer waffles in it. I'm prepared to call that cowardice.

Thanks.

I ordered a white and black USB pad. I loved the Genesis/MegaDrive 6-button pad and actually prefer it to the Genesis. Too bad there isn't a USB converter for Genesis to PC.

I've been using the PS2 dual shock pad with a USB adapter, but the controller isn't responsive enough for shmups. And it's not a lag issue as my adapter, the Super Joy Box doesn't have any.

I meant I prefer the Genesis 6-button pad to the Saturn 6-button pad. But both are excellent.
