Port 1 is a DC Green controller with a green VMU in slot 1 and a performance tremor in slot2, port 2 is a grey controller with a black vmu and a 4x, port 3 is a total control with a dell optical mouse, port 4 is a fullsize seganet keyboard.

I am between OEM and Dreamconn. Sports games, OEM seems a little more responsive then the Dreamconn. Very little different, but enough to miss a juke. Lol

Official Sega controller for most stuff generally.
ASCII Pad FT for Mega Drive emulation.
Modded Race Controller for most driving games (Daytona USA, F355 Challenge, Le Mans 24 Hours, Racing Simulation 2, Sega Rally 2).
Mouse for Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament.
Keyboard for The Typing of the Dead and Unreal Tournament (and online chat).

Would love to be able to use a Dreamcast Gun with The House of the Dead 2, but I just don't have room for a CRT!

Dreamconn+.

The delay, albeit slight, makes virtually ever driving game impossible. It also hangs when you max out horizontal movement without easing back to center. It will continuously send a 100% right/left signal until you adjust. Kind of a blunder for the cost, honestly. It does make a lot of other games more comfy on the couch, but an extension works just as good without these issues. The keyconn also suffers from drop-out periodically when playing fps like quake. The keyboard just goes unresponsive for about 20 seconds at ten minute intervals. Hindsight they're not worth it when an extension is just a few dollars...

Thanks for the heads up! It is too expensive imo to be facing issues like this

What about wingman sd by Brooke would that have the SAME thing or possibly not

It’s 45 and could pair with a series x controller. And doesn’t have vmu of course but 200 save blocks are built into the adapter

Blue OEM controller for pretty much everything that isn't a shmup or fighting game. I use the OEM arcade stick for those.
