I bought one of these last week, really pleased and a big step up from the Retrolink one. I find ABXY buttons feel pretty much identical to a real SNES controller. Agree that the Dpad is a little bit floaty compared to a real one but still very good (again compared to the Retrolink). No input lag that I can feel and I'm playing through a 6 feet USB extension cable.

Planning on getting the Famicom controller from Buffalo soon.

Is the black version not sold anywhere? I can only find the one with the SFC colors.

First time I've seen the black one, but I prefer the SFC colours since we had them too on PAL SNES's.

I remember seeing the black ones on ebay like a year ago, but I chose not to buy one at that time

They're still shown at the Buffalo japanese site.

This thread just got linked to from a "The Best Controllers for Retro Gaming" Lifehacker article

The Buffalo Classic controller has stellar reviews on Amazon and comes recommended from both How-To Geek and Shovel Knight developer Yacht Club Games. It also often tops out lists from the likes of NeoGAF, Reddit, and Racketboy.

Quick! Let's capitalize on our newfound fame by posting stuff that will trigger their sensitive tendencies so they'll write more about us and drive traffic here.

I had no idea there was a thread for this controller. Got mine a couple of years ago and love it! It works great in MAME too.

This controller is awesome - it's my main emulation pad.

(Though, I do use a PS3/PC Fighting Commander pad for Genesis games since it has the 6-button layout.)
