check it out, if you sign up to playsega.com for a 3 month membership (15 euro) you get a free sega saturn usb controller, with the option of buying extra.

i bought bootlegs before from ebay, which broke in under a week, but these are official sega products, so hopefully they'll be better quality.

i've ordered two, and i'll post back here when i get them to give my impressions, if anyone is interested

I recently saw some USB Saturn pads, offcial (looking) but they weren't the hideous looking play sega ones pictured.
I can't remember where though.

The picture there is just a mockup, the real ones will hopefully have the original d pad mold. the Play logo is pretty fugly, but i can live with it, aside from that it's exactly the same as the original SS pad (i'd imagine xy anz will be convex too)

theres loads of official looking ones on ebay, but if they;re from bestbuy enjoy, or senoi digital, steer clear, thats where I got my shoddy bootlegs before, they look authentic, but the d pad snaps off in under a week.

Here is a video about how to fix the buttons on SEGA USB controllers!

Out of the box, the buttons on bootleg controllers are not working properly.
Many people come to conclusion that they are broken and throw them away -
while they could be easily fixed and become just as good as the official ones!

I know this is an old thread, but hope that someone who posted earlier has notification system turned on and would benefit from this video.
