This means the d-pad doesn’t feel as solid as the original controller but doesn’t impact gaming performance. Whilst the d-pad is great, pressing on is makes a popping sound. I can assure you that the d-pad, often the biggest disappointment of any controller, feels great here. The buttons have good tactile feedback to them so you know when they’ve been pressed. That’s it.īoth Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 detected it and installed drivers. Various games and emulators let me map it without any trouble.ĭuring my gaming tests, everything responded perfectly and I didnt encounter any lag or missed keys. The Buffalo USB controller is dead simple.

It really feels like using the original controller which is awesome. I guess you could argue that it adds to the retro charm however.Ĭompared to an original SNES controller, it’s essentially identical apart from the turbo buttons and Buffalo branding. However, with wireless controllers being commonplace, it is a small source of frustration.

The cable is 1.8m long, which is great for setting at your desk or in front of your TV. I can move him to the left and to the right, but the down direction doesnt seem to work. However, when I plug it in to use with Chrono Trigger, while the buttons seem to all work, the direction pad automatically has my character move up. However, Buffalo have also added turbo and clear buttons to replicate rapidly pushing the same button over and over again. I have a USB controller that is pretty much a USB version of the SNES controller. The controller has all the SNES buttons: Face buttons, Start, Select, d-pad and shoulder buttons. It’s clear that Buffalo have tried to remain true to the source. It feels well made enough that that you won’t break it during a furious Street Fighter 2 round. My memories may be a little fuzzy regarding the original SNES controller from my youth but this one feels just about right. The controller isn’t super heavy but not ultra light either, like I found the Retrolink ones to be.
BUFFALO CLASSIC SNES CONTROLLER MANUAL
This controller is incredibly simple to use so the manual is more of a obligatory inclusion than a necessity. The Buffalo controller comes with the bare minimum, packing in the controller and a small manual entirely in Japanese.
