USB SNES controllers, anyone have them?
Knievel:
Would like to add some SNES controllers to the bartops I'm planning.
I have seen the various adapters but just spotted these..

Since I don't have any original controllers yet it seems like a good solution.
Anyone own them already? Would appreciate feedback before I buy. Feel free to suggest something else..
Thanks

No experience with those here. But I did buy some aftermarket NES controllers with 10' cords for my NES off ebay since the cords on the stock controllers couldn't reach my couch. The controllers were junk. I took apart my controllers, desoldered the cord connections from the PCBs, and swapped the longer cords to the stock NES controllers... MUCH better. My advice would be to find some original SNES controllers and use the USB kits from RetroZone, or if you don't want the hassel of the work, just buy the ones they've converted to USB already (but they're pricey).

I dont have any exp with the ones you posted. I use a smart joy adapter with an original controller. I also have an aftermarket replica of a snes controller which works but the feel is garbage. I played way to much snes in my days and as soon as i held the aftermark one i new it was right. My original plan was to mold the adapter into the from of my cab so i can plug the snes controller straight in.

Thanks for the advice guys.
Think I will try the pre-modded controllers Nephasth suggested, if that place gets them restocked..
