Transparent PC USB game controller with classic dual-analog layout, compatible with Windows, Raspberry Pi and retro emulation systems
- Needs a PC-compatible controller for games
- Need for a retro/emulation gamepad on Raspberry Pi or RetroPie
- Plug-and-play wired setup without batteries
Plug in once and play your PC and retro library
Tired of fighting the keyboard for every game? This clear-shell USB controller turns your PC or Raspberry Pi into a proper gaming setup in minutes.
Built to show off its insides
- Dual analog, classic layout
Two analog thumbsticks sit beside a D-pad and four numbered action buttons, plus SELECT, ANALOG and START. If you grew up on a dual-analog pad, your thumbs find every control without looking. The layout works for desktop games and for classic emulated titles alike.
- A shell you can see through
The transparent shell lets you see the circuit board inside, and the blue and white buttons match the blue thumbsticks. It looks like a piece of tech on your desk, not a box of plastic under the monitor.
- Wired, no batteries
The braided USB cable runs straight from the controller to your PC or Raspberry Pi. There is nothing to charge, pair or replace, so the pad is ready the second you sit down. Compatibility is listed for Windows XP, 7, 8 and 10, Vista, Linux and RetroPie.
Playing in three steps
- 1Plug in the USB cable
Connect the braided cable to a free USB port on your Windows PC, Linux machine or Raspberry Pi 3.
- 2Map the buttons
Open the game's controller settings or the RetroPie input menu. Match each numbered button and both thumbsticks to the layout you want.
- 3Start your game
Launch a PC game or an emulator and test the sticks, D-pad and START. Keep the cable clear of the desk edge so it stays out of the way.

Questions and answers
Yes. The controller is listed as compatible with Windows XP, 7, 8 and 10, and with Vista and Linux. Plug the braided USB cable into a free port and it appears as a game controller on compatible systems.
Yes, it is listed for Raspberry Pi 3 and RetroPie. Connect it over USB, then open the RetroPie input setup and map the numbered buttons and sticks to match the classic layout. That mapping step takes a minute and only needs doing once.
Yes. There is no rumble motor inside, so the pad stays quiet in your hands. If you want a controller that does not buzz during intense scenes, this is the one.
No batteries. It is plug and play on the systems it supports, so you skip the driver downloads and the charging routine. Over the life of the controller that is one less cost and one less thing to manage.
The cable is the trade-off. You trade a charging cycle for a controller that is always on and never drops its connection. For desk sessions and emulator nights, that is the faster choice, and it costs nothing to keep charged.
Two items: the USB game controller and its braided USB cable. Nothing else is needed to start playing.
