Super NES USB Gamepad Now for PC Gaming

I really like my logitech rumblepad, but I could see the nostalgia factor for when I'm playing my emulators.

I'm up for 2 of these babies.

I just picked up 2 very similar to this (no turbo buttons) for $13 a piece from ebay (new). Downloaded ZSNES and I've been playing MegaMan X, F-Zero,Sunset Riders, SF2 and UMK3 like crazy!

Watch where you buy from though because there is a very high fluctuation in price and quality. If you have some original SNES controllers you're better off just buying the USB adapters. They're the same price but you get the authentic experience of using a real SNES controller.

Saw one on eBay like over a month ago. Buffalo also has a square one like the NES controller with shoulder buttons.

Looks legit. The D-pad looks like it would bloody my left thumb after a long play session, just like the SNES pads did in days gone by.

Interesting, I'd buy it after reading reviews of it in order to QC it.

Shouldn't it read "the PS2 Controller has become defacto..."?

There have been more than a few USB controllers of similar design.

Hey Nice Controller, i went to their website and it's kinda bazzare. Everything is in English except the
Price of the Controller. Why would you do something like that???? Are we dealing with 3rd graders or
what? Anyway i might have to scoop one up!

Lawl, for a second I thought it said $2700, then i realized it was yen.

I also have a Logitech Rumblepad II (PS2 controller). Still I would really want one of these because they are light and get the job done. Its not like many games for the PC support rumble functions.

It would be neat to use with browser flash games in combination with the Joy2Key program.

would rather see a N64 gamepad.

NES controller USB

SNES controller USB

I used to love this controller, but this is like the super famicom controller as opposed to the supernes one......... anyway this controller was so small and holding it now seems so basic..... oh well the older famicom controllers/nes had a SPEAKER/MIC and THAT was cool!

Hello? Retroport anyone? They've been making this type of thing for years. You can get an adapter that lets you connect your original SNES/NES/Sega/Atari/Vectex/etc. pads to USB or Gamecube ports, and they also convert original controllers to USB. If you're really pining for some classic console controls on the PC, why get Buffalo's cheap knockoff, get the original pad updated.

@phatboe: There's also an N64 retroport for N64->USB. Or, if you feel like spending $200 on a cable, there's always the occasional Adaptoid auction on eBay.

Surprised no one has mentioned the similarity to the Gravis PC Gamepad, the first gamepad for PC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File: [...] amepad.jpg

the 360's dpad is HORRID...

I have a usb saturn pad, bought it for the ps3 but works on a pc too, best pad on the market for street fighter 4

Hmmm.... were the original pads that good?

I'll stick with my USB PS2 dual shocks.

I already bought a Super SmartJoy from before lik-sang.com was shut down by Sony. It's an adapter that lets you use your original SNES controllers on your PC. It works great. : )

While I do like the colorful Super Famicom buttons, I do notice from the screenshot that they are all rounded. The US SNES controllers have dimples in the X and Y buttons, while the Super Famicom buttons are all rounded like the US A and B buttons, so their model might not feel exactly the same in your hands unless you've played a Super Famicom. I'm not complaining about it, just sharing my geekitude.

The only thing I might complain about is the price.. $30 isn't terrible, but I picked up a really great flight stick with throttle for the same price. RetroUSB was selling their own version of a USB adapter for SNES controllers ($22) but they are listed as "temporarily unavailable", and it's been that way for a while so I don't know if they still sell them.

And for those too young to remember, the SNES controller is indeed a great controller. If you're only going to own one controller, a PS2-clone or an xbox360 controller might be best. But if you really want to experience the old games you should eventually invest in an old controller or adapter. The only problem is that if you play too much you will wear your thumb away! But then, that's how we did it back then.

Still rocking the ol' NES. Not an emulator. The real deal in 42" plasma pixely goodness....

I've bought a few of these kinds of knock-offs on eBay already. Unfortunately, all the ones I've come across use cheap squeeky plastic parts making them terrible compared to original SNES pads, of which I also have a few. I don't mind the price so much as the gamble in not knowing the pad's quality. So far, I've found a combination of USB Wii Classic Controller adapter with Wii Classic Controller to be the more solid SNES-type game controller option for about the same price!

You can find the Wii Classic Controller USB adapter here:

Retrozone has been making USB converters for a long time... Lets you use your original Gamepad with a PC. Bought four Atari style to play Mule just like the C64/Atari days.
