kiwitat C3 A1 Classic USB Controller, kiwitatá Retro SNES Game Controllers Plug N Play for Raspberry pi PC Mac (Pack of 2)

I noted the reviews that said something along the lines of "you get what you pay for." My experience is as follows: - I received the controllers, hooked them up to a raspberry pi emulator, and tested the units - The units worked, but performance was unpredictable and inconsistent - I reached out to the vendor (kiwitata). The vendor responded fairly promptly, and sent replacement controllers. - The replacement controllers worked much better, and we've had no issues with them. To sum up, I appreciated the vendor's effort to resolve the issue promptly. Following is the vendor's email response: Dear Adam, Thanks for your contact. And we apologize for the inconvenience caused to u. We’ve contacted you on Aug 13 and hope to solve this issue after we saw your 3 star feedbacks on Amazon. But message undelivered. Yes, the D-pad seems defective. We are willing to re-send one set to you for replacement free of charge. You are also not need to return the defective ones. The new set has been improved by our factory. Please see attached controller printed “Kiwitata” logo. The appearance of the controllers is the same with the one you got. But it is not the same. The improved one is made of new mold and the one you buy that is made of old mold. The difference between the two is: 1. Materials are not the same. The material of the new one is ABS. Good gloss, especially A B button. 2. The new one will be more texture. It is a little bit heavier than the old one. High quality feel. 3. The new version button function is more accurate, faster response. 4. The main difference is the electronic components inside the circuit board are not the same. The functional modules have been improved. We will not let disappointed again. The tracking number will be provided to you tomorrow. We sincerely hope to help solve your problem and give you a good shopping experience. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us. Sincerely, Kiwitata

Controllers work great. They feel good and seem to be really well made. Buttons are very responsive. Honestly just as good as the more expensive ones I’ve bought before. I’m very happy with this purchase.

I was surprised at the great quality of these controllers given their low price point. The build is excellent, lightweight, responsive, and the buttons feel good like my legacy controller. This was a great purchase, hands down!

Worked straight away right out the box. No fuss, No installation just simply plug and play. Feels like the original controller with great feedback from the buttons.

Been using the controllers since 2017, on and off, about 3-4 times per year. Work as intended. In 2024, starts been glitchy on the Y button. Ok if you want to play SNES games
