Wanting a USB SNES controller

[shaybe]

I am wanting to order a USB snes controller. I know the top of the line is from retro USB, but they seem to be sold out, and I don't have the tools for the do it yourself kit.

Looking on amazon no e of the controllers have good enough reviews for me to trust buying any of them.

Can anyone help me out who may own another brand or knows where I can get a good one?

Thanks!

You will find these USB controllers don't feel at all like the original controllers. If you care about that, I would recommend looking for an original controller on ebay, then get a USB adapter for it.

Have a look at http://raphnet-tech.com/

Also http://spawnlinux.dyndns.org/Bliss-Box/ if you want a multi-in-one adapter.

I have a couple of spare retro USB chips from my snes hyperspin controller mod.

If you can't get any help from someone over there I may be able to help. I'm based in the uk

That would be cool. Like soldering the chip into a controller for me? I'm also considering just getting a snes to USB adapter, not sure yet.

If you wanted to do that you'd need buy the parts and pay for shipping both ways. The chip is on sale for $14 over at retrousb.com. Another option you have would be for me to solder up a spare controller I have and sell it to you for like $35 plus shipping. I just picked up an extra controller yesterday and bought some extra chips cause they are on sale so I have the parts if you'd be interested in that as well.

Thank you for your offer. After looking up some reviews I think I am just going to go with a tomee controller for now, unless anyone knows a reason why I should not?

Stay away from the Retrolink Snes controller, they are garbage, i bought 2 and both had the same problem, when you press down on the d-pad it registers on the right also.
