I don't know if these are the same ones, but i've ordered cheap ones from China recently and they feel like something sweets might come in.

Actually remind me of this Street Fighter 2 playset I had as a child:

use code: game11 to get 11% discount too. comes to 2.34

I bought a cheap replica much like this and transplanted its circuit board to an original SNES controller to convert it to USB: works a treat! Only the shoulder button contacts needed soldering.

These are generally considered the one to get...

Three times the price obviously but still only £7.50 and are a genuinely quality item, my lad uses one with his RPi emulators.

is there anything slightly cheaper than this £25 version please on Amazon?

will this pad (or the buffalo one from Amazon ) work as a controller for playing Minecraft on a PC instead of using a standard mouse)?

No, use the Xbox controllerhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-Xbox-Common-Controller-Windows/dp/B004JU0JSK

will this pad (or the buffalo one from Amazon ) work as a controller for playing Minecraft on a PC instead of using a standard mouse)?

Anyone received theirs yet? Mine were dispatched 3 weeks ago!

Said dispatched about a week ago, nowhere to be seen as yet...

What games would you recommend for the pc that the controller is good for?
I am tempted to by one (hot deals disease) but need a game recommendation to use it with.

I used to buy controllers like these for nostalgia but I just prefer using a ps3 controller now, feels better than any of these and is wireless (if you want it to be) Not voted either way as its clearly very cheap and probably decent enough

Meh, these cheap ones are not good, frustrating to use, stiff buttons, missed inputs. Puts strain on the muscles in your hands and can cause sore skin or blistering.

There is a decent USB SNES pad on Amazon that is a bit more expensive (look for one with lots of good reviews), or you can get an adapter to use a real SNES pad.

I gave my cheap pad away to someone I didn't like.

I had to comment on this , they've been in eBay forever at like £1.79 posted. I've got one and they are poor quality to be fair , step up from icecream tub plastic in feel. You get for what you pay for but don't expect Nintendo build expect pound land.

Thanks - ordered! :smile:
Along with an OTG adaptor so I can have this on the laptop and phone :sunglasses:

There's no VAT on items below £15 or something around it and import duty isn't charged if it's below £8, so no need to worry about some cheap personal orders.

Chinese sellers usually mark parcels as gift of some tiny value, I've never had to pay any tax on thinks like this.

Banggood.com? :laughing:

I am a new convert to AliExpress good if you don't mind waiting but can be a lottery on import taxes.

Forget about USB, I'm off to rummage through the wardrobe to find my original snes with two controllers. Street Fighter 2 battle anyone... :smile:

Don't be stealing my thunder brah!

Lol guile doesn't say "Oooo arrrgh", that's Balrog! I'm a bit of a Street Fighter nerd so had to correct you on that!

No, obviously you can't get originals new. Nostalgia is odd to bring up about these though.

Nice, good find. These are made by Buffalo, a Japanese company so there products are likely to better and have better build quality

bought! cheers OP!!

Yep. Mine is detected as a generic USB pad, so technically it should work in most things with a USB port, phones, tablets etc...


Have you tried soucing an brand new original?

Plus i never liked the originals anyway, my first purchase when i got my snes was to get a more comforable 3rd party pad (Competition Pro and a Score stick i believe.)

But for this kind of money who cares? I brought mine for the nostalgic factor... and it works... now I remember why I bought Competiton Pro!

I can second this. I've tried one of the cheap chinese exports and in the end I gave up and bought two of these bufallo controllers. They're really high quality controllers. Feels just like the original

Truly awful compared to the real ones. They look good though.

Will it work on a modded Wii/U? It would be awesome for emulators.

I bought a couple for use with Retro Pi on the Raspberry pi, they work a treat, just plug and play..would highly recommend (think mine were about £3 each from ebay but assume they are all made in the same place!) Very nostalgic!

mine works great with note 4

Will this work on STEAM games? i bought awhile ago Sega mega drive games.

Awesome deal! Heat from me!

Does anyone know if this will work with a android M8S TV box? Thanks

Twice in one day I have no ordered stuff from bang good. I need to stop reading HUKD :disappointed:

Awesome, ordered 1 and I'll have to dig out my old emulators :-)

cheap tatt !!! ebay an 8bitdo bluetooth super famicom controller for around 20 quid...or google Buffalo usb snes pad for around a tenner....

brilliant - thanks op

Brings back memories of my Gravis Gamepad with the screw in handle on the pad.
Owned a few mouse & keyboard Quake players back in the day with that :smiley:

No Master System pads?? :smiley:

I recently scored a box of SNES stuff on fleabay, the pads had bite marks on them. Had to laugh was guilty of that when I was a kid...

Cable is six feet in old money.

Quick question. Do you know how long the cable is for this?

Ended up getting the Buffalo version instead as I've bought cheap knock-off controllers before and the response times of button presses and cheap feel put me off buying this. Heat for the awareness though.

​I have tried a few and I agree, the one you've linked is excellent. Feels exactly the same as the original controller, dpad and buttons work perfectly.

This is not the case for all the USB controllers out there, though I have no idea about this one - I will give it a go.

HNNNNGGGGG!!! <3 HEAT

Not sure but in case you still wanted to save money: Aliexpress has them cheaper here: http://www.aliexpress.com/premium/snes-usb.html?ltype=wholesale&SearchText=snes+usb&d=y&origin=y&initiative_id=SB_20151104052101&isViewCP=y&catId=0 and also do the Famicom versions.

ordered 3 of these as stocking fillers, used code game11 thanks Wongduk.

Ordered with code game11 , thanks, :sunglasses:

use code: game11 to get 11% discount too. comes to 2.34

I've got a PS3 USB brandless controller and it works perfectly on the Android TV box that I have so I'd say this one does too. Not sure how they're making profit when they're selling it for £2.63 but who cares.

I bought a cheap replica much like this and transplanted its circuit board to an original SNES controller to convert it to USB: works a treat! Only the shoulder button contacts needed soldering.

I ordered a couple of these last year from an ebay seller at a slightly cheaper price. They were awful, the directional pad broke on both within a couple of days and the general feel of the pads was cheap.

I ended up buying the Buffalo ones which have lasted a year and are infinity better.

Say bye bye to your thumbs

heat from me thanks :smiley:

For under £3 gonna give this a try, even if just for old emulator SNES games on the laptop. Thanks.

I tried using this on my MXQ android box and it didn't work, Although it did recognise it. I think the box i had was a clone because my xbox pad didn't work on there either. so I am waiting for a new one to arrive. I am pretty sure they should work and i just had a dodgy box.

Luckily still got my wii which has been sofmodded to play these old nintendo games...

Was just about to ask if anyone thought this would work on an android box? Would come in handy for my parents playing columns 3 haha

Very tempted to get this and use it on my phone (via OTG adapter) for Snes9x...
The driverless statement makes me think it'll work in Android too :smirk:

Heated :smiley:

Got two of these, they're not bad :smiley:
