Truly just plug & play. I charged the controller, plugged in the dongle, and it worked right away without a fuss. Didn't have to sit there and try to pair it or anything

Feels good, dpad is great, buttons have that fresh membrane feel. I feel like the original 3 button controller is still more comfortable to hold/use for me personally, but I have big hands. Overall still very happy with this though! Will probably order a second at some point for multiplayer games

Better than the original.
Reviewed in Canada on February 10, 2024

I've never been as much of a fan of the Genesis controller as the Super NES so imo this feels better than the original Genesis 6 button variations. The size is perfect, it's more ergonomic but still manages to feel like it belongs to the Genesis. There's also no latency which is fantastic considering the convenience of wireless.

Bought this when advertised as using usb-c but I received a model that used an older usb connection, the seal was also broken on the box so who knows what happen. I was able to return. I got another with the proper connection. Works great to the point that I prefer it over the original wired controller.

Doesn��t work with mega everdrive pro. Abandoned bugs
Reviewed in Canada on March 8, 2025

Doesn��t work with mega everdrive pro. Avoid completely.
8bitdo products have been getting poorer QC and worse but fixes and supports as they have rested on their popularity lately. This controller is well made but basically doesn��t work. Flakey firmware. Inconsistent behavior. And when used with a mega everdrive pro is simply doesn��t work. Some games don��t see some buttons. Some games don��t see others. Master system games can��t be controlled at all.

Cheaper barebones wireless controllers from off brand companies work fine for all this. No reason why the 8bitdo is such a disaster. Do not buy. There are plenty of other options.

Very responsive and with no noticeable lag. This is a very comfortable controller. Keep in mind, this comes with a receiver. That means it is built for plugging into a Sega Genesis or a clone system that takes the 9 pin controller (like the Mega sg), so no Bluetooth connecting to other devices. This is a great controller for your Sega Genesis.

Great if you can get it to work out of the box
Reviewed in Canada on January 23, 2021

The product came scratched and covered in prints. the receiver was disassemble in the box.
Had to follow a Youtube video on how to manually update the firmware, as the update tool on 8bitdo's site doesn't detect the controller/receiver. the receiver has to be opened up to complete the firmware update. (the previous owner must have disassembled the receiver to attempt the update).

the actual controller has a nice feel and weight in hand. d-pad is great and buttons are responsive. battery seems to last a long-time before needing a recharge.

Fantastic controller
Reviewed in Canada on June 26, 2019
Verified Purchase
I question why I waited so long to buy one. It paired up quickly with the receiver. The build quality is great, I even gave 6 button mode a go on Street fighter and had no issues. The best part of having this controller is I can now close the door on my entertainment shelf while playing my genesis. My only knock against the device is I found the dongle plug to be a bit of a loose fit in the genesis compared to the snug fit an original controller is. It's not a problem but it did at first feel like I didn't plug it in properly.

Overall, love it, will probably buy another as well as pick up a snes version.

Good Response, Easy to Pair, Instructions Poor!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 26, 2025
Verified Purchase
Have used this on my Megadrive 2 to spare the original wired controllers from wear and tear. Had previously bought a wired controller but the directional button broke after two weeks, so was wary of buying another. The instructions are quite poor and leave things out. For instance, pressing the start button on the controller turns it on. Pressing and holding the start button (for around 3 secs) turns it off. Very useful to know!

The controller itself is excellent though and is very responsive with no lag in my experience. It feels more robust than the controller I bought previously but intend to revisit this review in a few weeks once I've played more with it. It is easy to pair and should not need to be paired again once set up. Simply turn on the Megadrive with the receiver installed and press the start button on the controller.

I like that you can switch between 3-button and 6-button modes as I found some games more challenging in 6-button mode. That may just be me though. I also like that you have two buttons on the front of the controller which can be used as a C button (right) and Z button (left). I've found these useful. Charge is lasting a long time so far and very happy with it.

Nothing will rival a wired original but in the absence of those...
Reviewed in Australia on April 30, 2025

Seen some mixed reviews on this on various media platforms but I can tell you as a die hard MegaDrive/Saturn d-pad fan(only the PS Vita rivals it) this one works as intended. Some say it didn't work as good as they thought it might and some say it worked perfectly. One I really trust mentioned that all directions can be pressed at once if pushing down on the middle of the pad. I did not experience this(yet anyway) and what else I can say is this:
Upon delivery I immediately got my copy of Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition, plugged it in and completed a run through with Ryu and the pad did not miss a beat(and I'm a bit rusty on this game). Fireball, Dragon Punch, Rising Dragon Punch ;-) all worked no misses.
I was sat maybe 2.5 meters from the MegaDrive and had no dropouts. The inherent lag from WiFi is as good/bad as any modern pad and is to be expected. A younger me would probably tell the difference between its input speed and an original wired one but I haven't noticed it yet. Streets of Rage 2 will test that but I haven't got to it yet.
I would say if your original pad is on the way out or worn out this is a worthy replacement.
