Rough start, good final result
I noted the reviews that said something along the lines of “you get what you pay for.” My experience is as follows:- I received the controllers, hooked them up to a raspberry pi emulator, and tested the units- The units worked, but performance was unpredictable and inconsistent- I reached out to the vendor (kiwitata). The vendor responded fairly promptly, and sent replacement controllers.- The replacement controllers worked much better, and we’ve had no issues with them.To sum up, I appreciated the vendor’s effort to resolve the issue promptly.Following is the vendor’s email response:Dear Adam, Thanks for your contact. And we apologize for the inconvenience caused to u. Weâve contacted you on Aug 13 and hope to solve this issue after we saw your 3 star feedbacks on Amazon. But message undelivered. Yes, the D-pad seems defective.We are willing to re-send one set to you for replacement free of charge. You are also not need to return the defective ones. The new set has been improved by our factory. Please see attached controller printed âKiwitataâ logo. The appearance of the controllers is the same with the one you got. But it is not the same. The improved one is made of new mold and the one you buy that is made of old mold. The difference between the two is: 1. Materials are not the same. The material of the new one is ABS. Good gloss, especially A B button. 2. The new one will be more texture. It is a little bit heavier than the old one. High quality feel. 3. The new version button function is more accurate, faster response. 4. The main difference is the electronic components inside the circuit board are not the same. The functional modules have been improved. We will not let disappointed again. The tracking number will be provided to you tomorrow. We sincerely hope to help solve your problem and give you a good shopping experience. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us. Sincerely,Kiwitata

Works As Advertised And Connects Without Issue
Both controllers felt nice in my hands and connected to my computer without issue. I didn’t have to manually configure the controller with my emulator of choice either (I use BizHawk). Having a backup is also nice in case I feel like playing 2 player games with someone. But as it stands currently, I have one at my desk and the other on a shelf for display.

Pretty decent controllers
I needed a SNES controller for my video game review series Georg Mack Plays the Classics. I hemmed and hawed for awhile and decided on these. So far, they’ve been great. They feel good, buttons are nice, and compatibility for what I want is there.If I wear them out, I’ll buy them again at this point.Update: It took a little over a year of heavy use for both controllers to end up having issues. I would take one with my laptop and use it a ton. The wire casing separated with both controllers (one taking the wires with it) and the B button got sticky through use on both.I did order another set to replace them, as I believe I received value for the price.
Raymond John May –
Great value.
Great value, works good and you get two incase one fails.
Mark –

One Controller Did Not Work – *UPDATE*
*Updated Review*Spoke with customer service regarding the non-functioning controller. They were extremely responsive and supplied a replacement asap, which is an awesome working controller. Great to work with a company that takes pride in its product and willing to provide excellent service. Thank you!*Original Review*1 of 2 controllers out of the box worked. Tested both separately in the same PC usb slot and other available usb slots. The functioning controller is great and has a responsive feel, unfortunately, would rather have 2 working controllers. Otherwise, still a good product for emulators etc.

Looks/works fine but hurts my thumbs
The video demonstrates the D pad shift that may or may not be related.These controllers hurt my thumb padding really bad, even after playing only 2 (fast paced) levels of super Mario world. I hardly use them because of that. Im realizing I never had this problem as a kid, it might be the controller. It takes forever to heal, worse than guitar strings callouses.They click fine but perhaps it just requires too much pressure. The d pad is a hard material as well. Sounds obvious but I think my original controllers were a bit softer corner radius and more rubbery material. There is also a shifting as I show in the video. I don’t think that’s how the original was, I usually remember the little things like that as a kid. My memory as it does a rocking motion and had no shift.Plugs and plays smoothly with emulators on windows.

Grandkids love them
These work excellent with my old game player thingy. I got it for the grandkids so they could play the old game Nintendo and they love them.
Terri Robinson –
These are amazing and work well. I didn’t realize they have to be set up for the game I want to play but they work awesomely!!

Kiwitata CS rapidly contacted me following the post of the initial review. They offered me to send me new controllers free of charge in place of the first set that doesn’t meet my expectations.They shipped the new set rapidly and I try them upon reception to find that they are really better than the first one I received. The d-pad build is more robust, but at the same time the feeling is more smooth, no clunky sound anymore on the new set.Using them with Raspberry Pi 3 emulation was nice and precise, and as a Kodi remote I don’t have to complain.These controllers are not perfect, but they are almost on part with other gamepad sold on Amazon for twice the price. Yes there is some better gamepad on the market, but they are way more expensive. In the end, this price for a pair of controllers that quality, you can’t beat it. Best price for the buck vs very good quality level.Be advised that this updated review is for the Kiwitata gamepad with coloured buttons (red, yellow, green and blue), not for the purple ones.Kiwitata have a great CS, I appreciate it.Kiwitata m’a rapidement contacté suivant ma review initiale négative. Ils m’ont offert de m’expédier sans frais une nouvelle version du gamepad, celle que j’aurais dû normalement recevoir.L’envoi a été fait rapidement et j’ai essayé les nouveaux gamepad à leur réception. Juste en comparant les deux versions il est évident que la nouvelle (avec les boutons de couleurs rouge, jaune, vert et bleu) est plus solide et que le d-pad est plus stable tout en donnant une sensation plus douce, et sans faire de bruit douteux.L’utilisation des nouveaux gamepads sur un émulateur Raspberry Pi est correct et l’utilisation dans Kodi comme télécommande ne pose pas problème.Ãvidemment ces gamepads ne sont quand même pas parfaits, mais ils s’approchent beaucoup de gamepads de haute qualité vendu par d’autres fournisseurs pour le double du prix; il existe d’autres gamepads qui sont meilleurs, mais ils sont beaucoup plus cher. En fin de compte pour le niveau de qualité qui, est relativement très bon, des nouveaux gamepad, le rapport qualité prix est imbattable.Cette review a été mise à jour pour les nouveaux gamepads avec les boutons de couleurs, et ne s’applique pas aux gamepads avec les boutons lilas et violets.Kiwitata a un service à la clientèle très proactif, ce qui est apprécié.

Been using the controllers since 2017, on and off, about 3-4 times per year. Work as intended. In 2024, starts been glitchy on the Y button.Ok if you want to play SNES games

As many others have complained and mentioned before, I too experience the D-pads to stick. Sometimes you may press Left or Right on the D-Pad and the Down button gets stuck and then you scroll all the way down on a menu. Or even sometimes during game play the same thing will occur.The D-Pad is not snug within the controller and is able to move around. This is probably what is causing this issue.The other buttons seem to be working and responding as they should. I connected the controller to a Raspberry Pi and it was responsive right away.Update: After my initial review, customer service contacted me because they were sad to see my defective controllers. They sent me two new controllers free of charge in order to have better customer satisfaction, and it worked.The new controllers (this time with the multi color buttons) are of the same make, work absolutely fine. I just plugged them to the Pi and right away the system recognized the inputs and I was able to play. The D-Pad is more snug for the newer remotes and the buttons seem to be more responsive due to a tighter fit.Overall I recommend these controllers, no remote input required, they have great customer service. I even ordered some other products from the same supplier because of this.

These controllers work very nicely for the price they are sold for. All of the buttons are responsive and it fits in the hand like a normal SNES controller. I haven’t had any issues with input lag. The start and select button require less pressure than my real SNES controllers, which is nice. This is a good deal if you’re looking for two SNES usb controllers. This company also offers very good customer support and if you’re having any issues with the product they’ll sort it out with you very quickly. There’s really no way to go wrong with these!The controllers are a bit lighter than a real SNES controller, but it does not affect gameplay at all, and it’s actually something I kind of like about them. The wire for the controllers is not very long, so you won’t be able to play from very far away from your console.Overall the controllers are good and the customer service is great, I would definitely recommend them
