Reply To: What controllers are you using?

[quote=19800]I use the iBuffalo USB controllers (snes style). I tried many other “nes/snes” style controllers (retrolink etc.) and they all had a very bad quality. Sometimes the buttons didn’t response, I was really disappointed. The iBuffalo have an absolutely awesome quality, they’re definitely worth the price. Near to the original ones by nintendo.[/quote]
I totally agree. I first got a pair of RetroLink NES controller believing they would be better than all the cheap “noname” NES controllers. Really disappointed. They look good, I give them that, but the D-pad is bad and on one of them the A button gets stuck down every now and then.

So I bought one iBuffalo SNES controller and one iBuffalo Famicom controller (Famicom = Japanese NES). Both are way better than the Retrolink ones but the D-pad is much better on their SNES controller. I would prefer the Famicom for NES games due to the correct button placement for NES but the D-pad is so much better on the SNES controller so that’s the one I end up using. Probably getting another one for two player games.
