Are These Official Genesis Controllers?
I was looking to buy some 6-button Genesis controllers and I found some on ebay. They say Sega on them so I'm assuming they are official but the buttons don't look the same as others I've seen. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2XBLACK-6-BUTTON ... 175wt_1396

I'm guessing reproductions especially since it is coming out of Hong Kong. Also that guy's feedback is not so good.
Re: Are These Official Genesis Controllers?
They look authentic enough, but I'm gonna go with cheap Hong Kong knockoffs myself. Ebay seems to have like 60% of their goods come from there these days ugh

Definitely knockoffs. Look at those ugly square plugs on the end. There were s few different plug designs for the 8 and 16 bit Sega systems, but they were all log and sleek. So wonderful, people are going to need to check for knockoff Gen pads now.

Keep in mind that it is 98.8% to 226720 sales. Not really that bad at all.bmoc wrote:Also that guy's feedback is not so good.

Yeah but read some of the neutral/negative comments. Clearly this person is selling a lot of shoddy products. Lots of items don't arrive at all. I wouldn't take the risk.BRIK wrote:Keep in mind that it is 98.8% to 226720 sales. Not really that bad at all.bmoc wrote:Also that guy's feedback is not so good.

Re: Are These Official Genesis Controllers?
the blue start button indicates knock off. It should be the same color as the x,y,z buttons
