SuperPad 8

You could buy a lot with 8 dollars...I mean you could buy a whopper and a drink and fries for 8 dollars. ..it's rather impressive that for 8 dollars I got a controller with a turBo button and one that actually works cheers to whoever made this controller

I recently purchased a Sega Saturn from a seller on Amazon, and I ordered this controller (NEW) to go along with it. I'm not sure whether there is an issue with the controller itself or with the controller port on the system. Basically, sometimes the "start" button will not work, sometimes it is the only button that will work, and sometimes nothing works. There are two flip switches on the controller, and when I flip them, it often switches which buttons happen to be functional (although the flip switches do not do what they are supposed to do). Jiggling the connection has no effect. This leads me to believe that the controller, much like many third-party hardware items (e.g., memory cards and controllers), is inherently defective (i.e., in my experience, third party memory cards tend to have glitches that erase saved data and third party controllers tend to work just fine until one day they randomly stop functioning properly). The Saturn was supported from 1995-1998, so many third party items have been sitting around for at least 13 years. I would probably stick with original Sega products in the future.

Was able to get the job done. Smelled like it came from a old basement. I would say forget your worries go for it. Bring that Sega back to life.

The controller came to me with the d-pad nonfunctional. shipping issue? doubtful. Wanted to return the product.. but having to pay the shipping all around for them to send me a new one would have ended up making it cost twice the amount of the controller. Over all it could've been a manufacturer mess up.. but whether or not you want to take that chance is entirely on you. Frankly I think this prob wont be the last time. The controller was very cheaply made. very light cheap plastic.. nothing like the original. My personal opinion: pay a little more and get an original.. they pop up from time to time on here. Its what I did.

The Sega Saturn I picked up didn't come with controllers so I decided to give this one a try. Works perfectly!

Works as intended. Instructions wasn't that clear. But it's easy enough to just use common sense and the number matching to assemble it.

got item days before i was suppose to.... awesome....

I'll start this off by saying that this controller is not as durable as you might like. Gone are the days of the NES and Atari 2600 when you could throw your controllers at the wall whenever you suffered a cheap death. However, it is a decent controller. Official Saturn controllers are difficult to find due to the Saturn having been out of business for over 10 years. This one is a fine choice if you cannot get your hands on one. 3D controllers, however, may be better suited for certain games.I won't turn this into a review about the Saturn itself and all its great games, but if you have a craving for some NiGHTS or Virtua Cop, this controller will get you there. One thing to know about this one, though: make sure you have the "Auto-Fire" switch off or the A, B, C, X, Y, and Z buttons will keep firing as long as you are pressing them. Good for shooting games in some contexts, but it was very frustrating when I tried to play "Tetris Plus."
