I bought one and a week later the dpad fell off. I complained and the company sent me another and refunded my money. Yesterday that dpad fell off. When is a company gonna make a 6 button controller that doesnt stop working after a week?

Ebay just facilitated the sale and they have NOTHING to do with you buying a crappy controller for little money. Stating who the seller is would do more good in here so others know to stay away from their crummy products.

Probably because of all of the talk in the Street Fighter threads on how the Sega Saturn contorllers, more specifically the d-pad, are phenomenal for fighting games when compared to modern PS3/X360 controllers.

The Sega 6 button controllers are usb and are apparently one of the preferred methods of playing Street Fighter games.

I thought this was fairly clear, too.

The OP has done nothing of any value to anyone with this thread by not mentioning the seller. And, honestly, it sounds like the seller has done a good job of refunding the original price AND sending a replacement controller? I'd assume that their business model is not designed around sending broken controllers out and refunding all of the money, so it's possible it's simply a bad batch, or the OP is extremely hard on controllers.

Still, it's not eBay's fault.

He isnt saying Ebay sold it to him. He is saying the replica's sold through ebay are junk.

It doesnt even sound like the OP is blaming the seller. He is calling the product crappy.

Damn yall turn this into a flame thread. I didnt mean to balme ebay just stating were it came from. seller-digital is the name of the seller, and http://stores.ebay.com/pc-com-china is the store site. The seller is good people. They responded promptly to my complaint. I dont think they meant to send the extra controller but I gladly accepted it.

Im not hard on controllers at all. I have never had any controller break in my gaming history. I never drop the controller ever. It is just a cheap chinese knockoff. When it works it is lovely. The dpad is barely attached to the controller. I wish sony would make a 6 button.

No one is trying to turn it into a flame thread. This post has all of the pertinent information. Thanks for the heads up.


Was I right about the Street Fighter thing?

Yea you are right. I suck at using sticks but I can get down with a regular controller. Im still great with the PS3 controller but the six button layout allows me to pull of combos better.

I've been watching swap meets for a genuine Saturn controller locally but I may end up trying to get a good one via ebay soon myself....that's why I was interested in who the seller was.

There were actually quite a lot of genuine Sega controllers when I looked again this morning. You just have to weed through a lot of the crappy replica's.

Amazon has a few sellers too...

Arcade stick:
http://www.amazon.com/ASCII-Stick-se...0500665&sr=8-8

Standard controller:
http://www.amazon.com/Controller-Gen...0500753&sr=8-3

3D NightS controller:
http://www.amazon.com/Controller-Seg...0500820&sr=8-1

I know it's easiest to find a PC Saturn pad but if you cant then you hae a few options.

Either try to find one of these:
http://www.google.com/products?hl=en...&lnk=storesugg

or

make your own:
