Only tested on PC. Emulators and Steam.
The controller is very responsive, zero issues using it on my PC machine which is Windows 10 with all the latest updates, plugged in, and it worked perfectly fine. Amazon reviews have stated they have issues, I do not have an issue on emulators and Steam.
Buttons are loose (not a bad thing, that's how they are to begin with), they feel good, controller was not very well built until I had to screw in the screws in to make it more solid (they weren't screwed in properly lol). Controller itself feels great on my hands though, and it's very light. Exactly like a Saturn pad? Not really. Perhaps maybe 65 to 70 percent to an official Saturn pad.
Dpad is very responsive especially for fighting games, not a stiff dpad besides the left side arching too much upwards. Is it 100 percent accurate as a Saturn dpad? No, it feels a bit odd but obviously not in a bad way. Dpad is not the original Saturn dpad. Dpad sticks out more and it isn't as small as the official Saturn one. Pops out more, not sunken in. Dpad is cheap plastic but it gets the job done.
Shoulder buttons don't make clicky noises, stiff too but are responsive.
USB cable is very long so I assume it'll be great for Retro Pie users.
Used this on FBA emulator for X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, and 3rd Strike. No issues performing moves and specials. Used this on Steam playing King of Fighters 13 and super responsive. Was pulling off all my King's moves and techniques. As for this emulator, Last Bronx and Virtua Fighter 2, no issues.
As for lag, I did not notice any lag. Straight to the point and moves come out with ease.
I do not have interest of buying the console version of this controller as I am very content with my Japanese Saturn controllers (plus official Saturn pads are still much better than theses). I wanted the PC mainly to see how the dpad is and how responsive it is. I'm satisfied how the controller is but I still like the M30 8Bitdo much more despite their dpads being too noisy and annoying with loud creaky noises. I'll still continue using the this Saturn pad as it's much more quieter but it isn't a true replica to the OG Saturn Model 2 pad.
