This was most important to me because if this was going to be branded as OEM as possible it needed to feel legit in my hands. Now that I own and and took the time to break it down, screw by screw, I am satisfied with the product. The controller is of the same level of plastic quality as the original. Now lets compare it to my original OG '93 model... - The D-pad is very similar to touch and feel (it's black, original was a dark gray). All 4 directions click/mash better than on the old, but that may be due to age and milage differences on the pads. Also the '93 controller rotates in a 360 degree radius in a more "rounded" motion tilting in each point of turn like an arcade joystick... the new D-pad tilts more like your typical d-pad. (This does not inhibit input in any way) - the 6 buttons mostly felt good. The XYZ buttons were on point for sponginess and "clickiness." However the ABC buttons felt off; I'll explain. A button felt like it had too short of a range to mash, B button felt sticky, and C button felt perfect. When I deconstructed it and put in the '93 membrane and resembled it again those 3 buttons felt fine. Putting the new membrane in the old controller felt fine as well. So It has to be the new buttons... or just my ABC buttons. - START and MODE are fine as well. MODE is a louder "click" and the button appears to sit more flush with the controller shape than the OG '93 controller, which is a hair bit raised up. OG START button was more mushy while the new one is more stiff like XYZ buttons. It's a plastic button, a more clicky mash feels correct. Mushy is for silicone buttons, like those found on nintendo controllers. - The cord is was one of the biggest surprise I discovered. It came wrapped and tied with a wire tie and, to my surprise, when I undid the tie it stretched itself out. No need to slide my hands down the cord and stretch out the bends. It is a silicone/rubber cord that has that aged loose feel. It's not a cheap, hard, stiff plastic cord... no, this is a premium feeling cord. And here's the best part... the tip is the official SEGA male/female connector. Logo and all. The '93 controller's cord has a more smooth, shiny, plastic feel and is a bit stiff even in its old age. The new controller is more matte black and flaccid. I recommend this if you've recently gotten into sega genesis, thanks to stores like gamestop selling retro gaming, or if you are a retro gamer worried about 25yr old controllers being beaten and bruised and just want something that looks new and works like new. I'm the type who loves "used, 1 owner" and "adult owned" and this feels more like "never been opened in 25yrs". Buy it, see for yourself. Review: This is a REAL ONE... there's a lot of fakes out there...this one is real. - Came in official box, bears the Sega insignia and the cord is 10 feet long. Fits my model 2...not a fake. The mode button is in the top...try not to hit it accidentally...it activates the Z, Y, Z buttons...in case that's confusing. The d button was a little stiff...that issue went away 5 mins into game play. It feels like I restored what was missing in my system...that's awesome. I will be getting another one next month after the bills are paid. Good value. ## Features - OFFICIALLY LICENSED BY SEGA – Relive the golden era of gaming with an officially licensed Sega Genesis controller designed to deliver the authentic feel, quality, and performance of the original classic. - MADE FOR ORIGINAL GENESIS HARDWARE – Compatible with all Sega Genesis and Mega Drive console models using the original controller port for a true plug-and-play retro gaming experience. - CLASSIC 6-BUTTON PRECISION – The iconic six-button layout and responsive D-pad provide accurate control for fighting games, arcade classics, platformers, beat 'em ups, and more. - MORE WAYS TO PLAY - Compatible with Retro-Bit Retro Trio consoles, giving you another way to enjoy authentic Sega Genesis gameplay with the classic 6-button controller. - EXTRA-LONG 10-FOOT CABLE – Enjoy the freedom to play with a durable 10-foot cable that gives you plenty of room to game comfortably. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07P255V8J | | Additional Features | Ergonomic | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,797 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #2 in Sega Genesis Accessories | | Brand Name | Retro-Bit | | Button Quantity | 6 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Sega Genesis, Mega Drive | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | SEGA Mega Drive | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Controller Type | Gamepad | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,771) | | External Testing Certification | NΓ£o aplicΓ‘vel | | Hardware Platform | sega_genesis | | Item Weight | 9.92 ounces | | Manufacturer | Retro-Bit | | Manufacturer Part Number | 849172010215 | | Model Name | 849172010215 | | Model Number | 849172010215 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 849172010215 | ## Images ![Retro-Bit SEGA Genesis 6-Button Wired Controller - Original Port - (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eRwkc59UL.jpg) ![Retro-Bit SEGA Genesis 6-Button Wired Controller - Original Port - (Black) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41y47wK6ovL.jpg) ![Retro-Bit SEGA Genesis 6-Button Wired Controller - Original Port - (Black) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71J06CcEmpL.jpg) ![Retro-Bit SEGA Genesis 6-Button Wired Controller - Original Port - (Black) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WR7+AUYrL.jpg) ![Retro-Bit SEGA Genesis 6-Button Wired Controller - Original Port - (Black) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61L2qipjqXL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will it work on the sega Genesis 2 system?** A: Yes It Is Compatible With The Sega Genesis Model 1 And 2 As I Do Own Both Of Them And Have Used This Controller With Both Consoles.
