Saturn pad to USB converters?

Post by evil_ash_xero »

I'm wanting to use my Saturn pad on my PC. I've seen some converters, but I was wondering if they are actually reliable? Any recommendations?

There are straight to USB Saturn pads on ebay. I'm unsure which ones are legit and which ones are shit.

wow, that's actually amazing! there have been dozens of chinese sellers offering the "original" ones (or let's call them too close to the originals to tell) and now they're all gone. Glad to have enough stock for a few lifetimes :)

EDIT: mystery solved: chinese new year holiday till february 10th. Just wait until then. Don't go with adapters, but get some of those USB controllers. Cheap and great as hell!

It seems that the Sega USB controllers are all fake too(well, the cheap ones). Are any of them good. I have heard that some of the knock offs are, and some are garbage.
