Was dubious about whether a 3rd party peripheral controller would be as good as the real deal (even if it is officially licensed). I was wrong to doubt it. Remarkably close to genuine sega controllers in terms of feel in the hands and response in the controls. The extra long cable is brilliant as well. My only criticism (and this is nitpicking) is the turbo and start buttons being recessed, for example when I want to pause quickly I have to feel around/look down at the controller to locate it, with the genuine controller this isn't an issue. Highly recommended (I'm going to buy another one).
