NOT recommended for hardcore gamers. D-pad is pretty much useless for any game requiring precision like Contra or Street Fighter, and is not even comfortable. It hits diagonals WAY too easily, because the PCB is actually fucked. Some people have shown to them how they could fix it and create a better design but they refuse to fix the PCBs, NOT EVEN with the release of their new SN30 and FN30. They have shown time and time again that they don't care to improve their products despite customer feedback. (even when they could drastically improve the joystick on their other controllers by deleting the disgusting 4-5 lines of code from their firmware which adds built-in deadzone, and not even the proper way to do deadzone). It's a cute controller for its portability, but don't expect to have fun with this if you care about quality controls. There are better Chinese knockoffs than this.

HipsterDaveWell I couldn't say exactly if this is a 'Chinese' knockoff specifically, but the iBuffalo controller is afaik VERY well regarded by enthusiasts, perhaps being the best NES controller clone. Disclaimer: I haven't personally used it, just what I read online, and from my extensive research, I couldn't find anything negative about that controller..
