Description

Pick up the controller and the classic game you remember feels right from the first press. A retro SNES-style layout with D-pad, SELECT, START and four coloured face buttons sits in your hands the way it should. One USB cable plugs into your PC and it is ready for the next session.

Retro SNES-style USB controller that plugs straight into a PC or console-style setup for classic gaming

Solves
  • needs a familiar, comfortable controller for retro games
  • wants a plug-and-play USB controller with no driver setup shown

Your childhood SNES feel, plugged straight into your PC

Tired of fighting a mismatched controller on every old favourite? This retro-layout USB pad plugs in and gets you back to the game you actually came for.

The SNES layout your hands already remember

Grey retro USB controller with coloured A B X Y face buttons in view

The layout your hands remember

The D-pad, SELECT and START sit where a classic pad puts them, with four face buttons in red, yellow, green and blue. Your thumb finds A, B, X and Y without a second look, which is exactly what you want when you go back to a level you have not touched since school.

Plug in and play

The USB-A cable is fixed to the body, so there is no loose lead to lose. The strain loop near the controller takes the pull, so the connection holds through long sessions. Tidying the desk? keep the lead off the desk surface.

Two black retro USB controllers stacked in overlapping view

Grey or black, your call

Pick classic grey or charcoal black. Both share the navy face plate and the same button layout, so a pair looks right together on a shelf or beside the monitor.

Plugged in and playing in three steps

  1. 1
    Plug in the USB-A end

    Connect the attached USB-A plug to a free port on your PC. Grip the plug itself when you unplug it later.

  2. 2
    Check the mapping once

    Open your emulator's controller settings and confirm the D-pad, SELECT, START and A B X Y buttons line up the way you want.

  3. 3
    Start the classic

    Load your favourite SNES game and play. Route the cable behind the desk and clip it at the strain loop to keep it tidy.

Questions and answers

Does it work with my PC or emulator without installing drivers?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. It is a wired USB controller, so you plug the USB-A end into a free port and it is ready for classic games. There is no driver setup to work through. Open your emulator's controller settings once to check the buttons are mapped the way you want.

Is the matte plastic body sturdy enough for regular play?
w
Wanelo · seller

The body is moulded matte plastic with a clean finish. Matte plastic shows fingerprints more than glossy plastic does, so expect to wipe it down now and then. Keep it out of direct sun or near a heater between sessions.

Does the cable length suit a desk setup?
w
Wanelo · seller

The USB cable is attached to the body and the strain loop sits near the controller. The cable is long enough to reach a PC port on most desks, and you can route it behind the desk so it stays out of the way.

How is it different from my modern Xbox or PlayStation pad?
w
Wanelo · seller

Modern pads place their buttons for newer games, so SNES titles feel off in your hands. This one follows the classic SNES layout with a D-pad, SELECT, START and A B X Y in red, yellow, green and blue. It is wired, so pick a modern pad if you need wireless.

Is it worth it when I already own a modern controller?
w
Wanelo · seller

Your modern pad still does its job for modern games. This one is a dedicated retro pad, so classic sessions stop depending on remaps and a button layout that never sat right. You get the controller and cable in one box, with nothing else to add.

What comes in the box?
w
Wanelo · seller

One USB game controller with a fixed USB-A cable already attached, so there is nothing else to buy before you play.
