I purchased the Buffalo USB SNES controller from Amazon.
This means the d-pad doesn’t feel as solid as the original controller but doesn’t impact gaming performance. Whilst the d-pad is great, pressing on is makes a popping sound. I can assure you that the d-pad, often the biggest disappointment of any controller, feels great here. The buttons have good tactile feedback to them so you know when they’ve been pressed.
That’s it.īoth Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 detected it and installed drivers. Various games and emulators let me map it without any trouble.ĭuring my gaming tests, everything responded perfectly and I didnt encounter any lag or missed keys. The Buffalo USB controller is dead simple. It really feels like using the original controller which is awesome. I guess you could argue that it adds to the retro charm however.Ĭompared to an original SNES controller, it’s essentially identical apart from the turbo buttons and Buffalo branding. However, with wireless controllers being commonplace, it is a small source of frustration. The cable is 1.8m long, which is great for setting at your desk or in front of your TV. Würde ich aber nicht bei Konsolenkost kaufen, die verlangen da knapp 40 Euronen - was wirklich sehr teuer ist. However, Buffalo have also added turbo and clear buttons to replicate rapidly pushing the same button over and over again. Hol dir einen SNES > USB Adapter, da kannste dann jegliche Originalpads dran betreiben. The controller has all the SNES buttons: Face buttons, Start, Select, d-pad and shoulder buttons.
It’s clear that Buffalo have tried to remain true to the source. It feels well made enough that that you won’t break it during a furious Street Fighter 2 round.
My memories may be a little fuzzy regarding the original SNES controller from my youth but this one feels just about right. The controller isn’t super heavy but not ultra light either, like I found the Retrolink ones to be. Many times the SNES controllers get a build up of crud that prevents the button contacts to register.This video shows you how to disassemble and clean your S.
This controller is incredibly simple to use so the manual is more of a obligatory inclusion than a necessity.
The SNES controllers also share the same means of charging as the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and the Nintendo Switch system itself – USB Type-C, with one USB cable provided in the box.The Buffalo controller comes with the bare minimum, packing in the controller and a small manual entirely in Japanese.

While other territories (like Europe) will be able to snag controllers featuring Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green buttons. In a true callback to the original Super Nintendo/Super Famicom, North American regions will see the SNES styled controller with the purple/grey button layout.
