Retro-Bit BIG6 Controller Pad for SEGA Genesis - Original Port - Black

I've looked at this controller for a while and had it on my wish list. Hooked up my old Sega Genesis once again and though I always love the classic three button large controller design. There's just enough games out there that need the extra three top buttons. I have the original six button controller from Sega but I like the idea of having the big fat pad design. Yet with all the extra buttons. This one here provides that all in one great package.The controller feels pretty close to the original. Maybe a little bit lighter, but the d-pad is really strong and that is one of the most important parts. Now the main buttons are a little bit lower than the original model. But that is just so you can fit the top three of X, Y, and Z in. I got really used to it after only just a little bit of gameplay. And it felt totally right. Literally blends the best of both worlds of the Sega big three pad and the Sega six button one.There is only one small minor thing that I wished was different. This doesn't take away from the overall rating of the controller. But the start button, is just a little tiny almost blended in button. Instead of being the larger gray one that we are all used to from the original controller. I just wish this one had that same or at least very similar gray larger start button. At least it only is the start button, so it's not the end of the world. Just something you got to get kind of used to if you've been gaming since the 90s. And, if you were wondering it also has the mode button on there for those handful of games that don't recognize the normal six button controller.If you need to have the classic Sega experience with the large pad yet you want all the buttons that you need. Look no further. The controller is also about twice as long in cable length from the original. If you're one of those people that sits far from the TV. And for the price, it really can't be beat.

I've bought more items from this maker. Good quality, good price.

This is a great replacement controller. Excellent quality and right of the box work like an original Sega Genesis controller with some modern touch. Hight recommend for any Sega Genesis player.

I was so excited for a 6 button classic design until the start button just stopped working out of the blue. It was rarely used and even then it was for a very short period of time.

Good and great item! I'll buy it again.

Most aftermarket controllers usually have somewhat of a weird issue to him where the buttons are either too stiff or something just quite as off with them.Didn't grow up as a huge Sega fan but having this controller in my hand it feels good the button seem to be pretty responsive and the d-pad is also nice. The ergonomics are well and I actually enjoy using this controller with my JVC XI.

I bought his in September of 2024 and as of yesterday (January 5, 2025) this item no longer works. I plugged it into my Genesis and it was totally unresponsive. No amount of turning the system on or off, unplugging and reconnecting the controller to the system would make it work again. It's terrible because it's a great feeling controller. Everything about it was fantastic until it just died. I've ordered the wireless big6 to take it's place, but I'm going to be keeping the box nearby to demand a refund for it if it also kicks the bucket. Last chance Retro Bit.
