Hey just wanted to write this up quickly for anyone on the seat looking to buy Sega's officially licensed Sega Saturn controller made by Retro-bit. This is my first Retro-bit product so I have no prior experience of their build quality. I've been really looking forward to this and I decided to purchase the USB transparent grey version. Also to note I never owned a Sega Saturn so I have no experience of the OEM build quality which may lead into asking for help from anyone who had.

Right from the start the packaging is great, it really feels like Sega put out a product with the classic logos and everything. The wire is very thick and has a great length of 10ft, the buttons respond well but feel a little wobbly than I'm used to as in comparison to the SNES buttons that feel a lot more held together to the plastic shell and the Saturn d-pad feels wobbly as well and after a few rounds of Street Fighter 3 it may take a little time to accidentally stop pressing up for jump as its really sensitive. This comes into my question of were the original Saturn controllers built this way? I am wondering if maybe the black version might have given a better first impression because the black paint probably uses a slightly sturdier plastic.

I'll keep playing around with it when I can play Panzer Dragoon which is the game I bought this controller for to see if it feels more natural. Sorry this wasn't super in-depth but I wanted to give a more real hands on take on getting this today.
