Retro-Bit Licensed SEGA Gamepads
« on: August 28, 2020, 01:11:45 am »
Hello all hope everyone safe at home or where ever you are,
I Own the SEGA Saturn bluetooth controller very shocked
knowing it had force feedback /- rumble capabilities.
Now i want the SEGA Genesis bluetooth version and was
wondering if it had  rumble capabilities thats all.

Really wish those controllers came with a case, but the wifi controllers
have them... anyone know where i could get a nice hardshell case
for my SEGA controllers?

Thanks sorry if i asking to much....

Hello too.
According to the Retro-Bit Amazon Store,there is SEGA Genesis bluetooth version too 2,4 GHz version (could be used for Sega Genesis Original/Mini, Switch, PS3, PC) but no rumble capability
and normal version which compatible with Switch, Android, PC, Mac and Steam but can't be used for Sega Genesis
The normal version is the one that has Rumble capability on supported games

I forgot we had this thread. Can I bump it? (Given it's mostly just me and Berto around here.)

I am a proud owner of a Sega Saturn Wireless Pro Controller. It's my go-to for playing Mega Drive, Sega Saturn and Sega Renaissance games. What I like about it is that it also has modern gaming in mind, with shoulder-buttons, dual-thumbsticks and Select and Home buttons.

I'm still waiting for Retro-Bit's Dreamcast controllers to come onto the market, though whenever I'll get one... depends.
I would love there to be a "Dreamcast Wireless Pro Controller", but I've seen the schematics they have in mind, and I'm not too keen on it. I'm against the six-button layout (Ⓒ and Ⓩ are the same as L and R on the Saturn Pro Controller, while ZL and ZR serve as standard shoulder-buttons, despite the original Sega Saturn pad having shoulder buttons.)

I just think, if we do get a "Dreamcast Pro Controller", I imagine it should be something like this:


We don't need a Ⓒ or Ⓩ buttons, because it will already have new shoulder buttons which could be C or Z as well as Dreamcast default trigger buttons.
