Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Windows/steam will detect the start+y as a ps4 controller; that's until you turn it off and press & hold start+x which will make it read as an xbox controller. There is an easy button press combo that allows you to flip that. Switching between mod... Read More

The d-pad is placed such that my thumb naturally rests on it at a 45 degree angle. It's an easy recommendation for anybody who needs a rolling d-pad.

Hold start + y on the m30 to begin the syncing process. In terms of synching up with the switch, it synchs super fast.

The m30 works well with bluetooth (my mod kit for the original sega saturn has never been able to pair with the steam deck) it's fantastic for sega saturn emulation as well, as it has left and right bumpers.

Price

Worth every penny especially if you are a fan of the saturn pad.

) then the $30 you'll spend on this thing'll pay for it's self.

I was in the market for another one and didn't really want to spend 50+ dollars on a second one, so i decide to try this one out.

However, for $30, this controller is a steal.

Competitiveness

I took the time to compare this to the retro-bit sega saturn white v2 wireless controller and a modified sega saturn controller... Read More

This dpad is better than the ps2 dpad.

Most modern controllers descend from the snes controller layout (due to the playstation using it, as nintendo and sony collabor... Read More

This controller also won't wake up your switch from sleep mode so you'll need another controller on hand to do that as well.
