      8bitdo controllers all the way. Have the NES PRO and FC 30 PRO. Just got my hands on the SNES 30 as well. Great controllers! And they suit the aesthetic of the builds I make (mini NES RPi3s).

      I also use PS3 and 4 controllers where needed.

          I use a Wii u pro over Bluetooth, or a wired 360 controller.

            Does anyone have experience with the iNNext controllers or have any comparison between the SNES and NES style they sell?

            https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZAYQSV

            From reviews it sounds like the "updated" version is better than the original version, but I'm not sure if the updates are on the SNES type as well, or only on the NES style. Basically, I would rather have the SNES style, and I'm not sure if they're the same quality/performance, and how big a jump in quality they are.

            Any experience or thoughts would be great.

                I primarily use a wireless ps3 controller.
                I have considered buying an arcade stick or create one myself. Currently I'm on the lookout for an arcade stick case if that even exists.

                  @ecks Thanks. Is your preference based more on aesthetic or functionality?

                    Pretty much both because the look is unique and feels comfortable.

                        Wii U Pro Controller, it's such a great wireless controller. The d-pad is great (not perfect for Genesis but it gets the job done), it's very comfortable, and the battery life is amazing.

                          Generic USB SNES styled pad.

                          I also have an old MadKatz 360 wired pad for games that need analogue controls.

                              @morrisav10 I've had mine for a few years, it's always worked for me. I'm using the official Nintendo one, is yours a knockoff?
