This is great, No Lag at all
 
I even tried it on my Genesis using my Megaverter Adapter
 
Will save up for the NES30Pro & The NES Retro Receiver

Depending on the size of your hands, you may find the NES30Pro to be a bit small. I like the controller, but my hands cramp up after a while of playing.
I do agree that the SFC/SNES30 is a great controller! Gotta pull the trigger on the SNES adapter.

I just purchased a similar Famicom-styled version of this and so far I have no complaints.

I have only tested it with Wii/laptop currently, but I am curious about the console receivers...I never thought I would be interested in a product like this, but I must admit it is tempting.

I'm the opposite. My hands are small, so the SNES controller is one of the few that I can play for hours without cramping, I can't say the same for the PS4 controller. This thing is a godsend.

Yeah, the SNES version is fantastic! The NESPRO30 is the one with the dual analog sticks that cramps my hands up after a while.

Also it works with Master System Games with the Wiimote sideways, But there's no A Button

Most Genesis Games that don't need the A Button, It will work

I love these receivers and use them for both the NES and SNES, but with the Wii Classic controller instead of the 8bitdo controllers. One nice side effect of using the Classic controller with the NES is that X and Y are rapid fire, which saves me from having to pull out the Advantage for turbo action.

I really wish they would make one for the Genesis and the Turbo/PCE, as they really do work great.

I'd like a 8bitdo Saturn controller.

Like a Retro Receiver for the Genesis

But it would work on the Master System/2600/7800

Every time I start considering buying these, I think about the experience. I feel that a lot is lost when you don't use the original controller. Even the goofy N64 controller is still the one I've always played on.

While I like the wireless aspect of these, I don't see myself getting one unless they make the shape exactly like the original.

That's ummmm, that's exactly what they've gone ahead and done for the Super Famicom and Super Nintendo ones.

I have the SFC30 and I love it.  I don't use it on my SNES (I don't have the wireless receiver for it).  Where I do use it is on my PC, for any retro styled games, or the rare instance of using emulation (like for PSP, I just can't deal with the blurriness of my PSP's screen any more).  It works amazingly well in those situations and feels probably 95 - 99% like an original controller.  I do wish they made NES/Famicom ones that just had 2 buttons on them though.

They feel better than my real SNES pads. They probably are identical, but the real ones have 20+ years of wear.

Try the N64 Hori pad.

You'll never go back.

The SNES is the only controller I use that's not original. I use the Asciipad for its tubo functions. Otherwise, the controller pretty much feels exactly like a SFC pad.
Try the N64 Hori pad.

I didn't learn about these until about a year ago, and they're like $100 on eBay. Otherwise, I'd already have one.

I've got two Hori Pads, and while they fix the crusty analog stick issue, they introduce other problems that are hard to bear with.

They tried to make me do a recap
I said no, no, no
