Is it better or the same? It does look like there is a bit of a dead zone on the triggers as they don't register an input on the first couple of mm of travel. How does the rumble compare to the OEM vibration pack? These are important to know if you are considering a purchase.


That guy never goes into much detail in his videos. He just kind of riffs, and what he riffs is what he puts in his videos. Best to wait for a better source to review the controller.

I'd like to see them make a 2.4G model based on this controller design that is compatible with Windows & Android for emulators. That's something I would buy to get an authentic Dreamcast experience.

Yeah Spinksy it is available from 8 Bit Mods https://8bitmods.com/accessories/retro-fighters/

The Retro Fighters website has a list of international partners, so I'd recommend that folks outside the US check that out.

I recently received a BlueRetro Adapter from AliExpress to use with my Dreamcast and an 8BitDo Bluetooth Pro controller. I have used the 8BitDo controller on my switch and PC so i know how it should perform but on the DC it just isn't cutting it for me tbh.

I have been using one of the Retro Fighters Defender controllers (bluetooth version) on my PS3 recently and i have been pleasantly surprised by it.
The battery life isn't the greatest compared to the OEM controllers but the build quality and connectivity has been superb.

Since it has been so good i have decided to pre-order a wireless StikerDC controller. For £40 i think it is worth a punt on it.

Just read your write up. If the triggers are fixed and build quality is good I might get two. I currently have arcade joysticks and buttons connected to my DC using brook wingman SD in ports 1 & 2. The controller would be nice for ports 3 & 4. Would really like some light guns that work on modern tvs.



I just bought one of these Blueretro adapters from aliexpress! I love it, very affordable, nice options and it covers all four controller ports.

Ian recommends that device too. My dc is in an arcade cabinet. I use joysticks and buttons connected to the brook adapters. The brook adapters have vmu memory in them. The blue retro doesn't have memory yet. Also someone said some games need the vmu in port one to work so you'll have to unplug it for those games.
