Acceptable, Fair Price for a Solid Controller
The media could not be loaded. Pros:+ Plug and play.+ Feels great, reasonably sturdy - just don't throw it out a second story window.+ Holds a charge for a good bit of time, comes with a charger which is USB-C. As it should be.+ The analog triggers (L2, R2) feel especially nice+ Compatibility is generally impressive, even worked with my iPad using the USB receiver.Neutral:~ Others seem to report concerns with how Turbo works for this controller, though I cannot speak to that as I haven't used the Turbo function so I cannot verify.~ Playing with this on a Switch can be disorienting button-wise if you don't know the Switch controller button layout by heart. This is intended for Playstation games afterall, though.Cons:- No Bluetooth support

Fantastic controller
As I was interested in reviving my PS1 and PS3 this controller came on top of the choices as the option that checked all the boxes. I unpacked it, and the first feeling that I got when I grabbed it was that the fit and comfort was amazing, and all the buttons had a quality feel to them like I have rarely felt (actually I prefer it to my series x controller). I have tested it so far with the PS1 and the pairing is instant, the vibration is solid, and analog sticks work without issue. If anything, the back buttons, the d pad, and the analogs are a bit sensitive, so you could accidentally trigger certain unwanted commands if distracted. Otherwise fantastic choice.

A solid choice
Out the package it was simple to set up and connected without a hitch. USB-C charging is also nice as a broken cord/lost cord will not be as much as a problem.My main issues come to the feel of the controller sadly, it just does not compare to the original PS2 controller I used. The bumpers are a bit too smoothe, lacking that nice click the originals had, the DPAD is solid, but the original felt a bit more solid, the buttons are nice As well but too suffer from the lack of that original click.A decent choice though.

Awesome awesome awesome. Best controller I own.
The media could not be loaded. Works for my PS2 (which is the whole reason I bought it). But I also just so happen to have a switch, and I just had to try it out on Nintendo. Now I can 100% say this is better than any switch controller I have personally used. Ever. Same goes for the ps2 and especially ps3. I never liked the ps3 dual shock because the handles are way to small. This Retro fighter feels more like a ps4 controller. I have not yet tried it out on my PC or Ps3 but I'm looking forward to it.The fact alone that this controller works for both my ps2, ps3 AND my laptop and switch is just mind blowing to me. Such a cool cool controller. Anyone who gives bad reviews about this product are wrong and I strongly advise to ignore them. The bad reviews very closely made me reconsider buying this but I'm so glad I went with my gut. I would give unlimited stars if I could. Best item I've ever bought on Amazon.

Great Wireless Controller
I am a game collector and recently have been looking at wireless controller options. There are a bunch of bad ones out there this is not one of them. This think has worked great and the fact that I can use it with my PS3 and PS2 as it came with 2 receivers is a great addition. If your looking for a good quality wireless controller this is a great budget option.

A brilliant multi-use controller
retro fighters have put out a lot of great controllers, and many of them becoming my favorites.This one is the best out of all the ones I've had for it's comfortability and how it's useful for so many consoles. Of course it's using the Playstation format of layout.It comes with 2 dongles. One for the PS2 (maybe PS1? Haven't tried it since I don't have a working PS1)The USB dongle can be used for the PS3, PS Classic, Switch and PC. I don't recall it working with the PS TV tho. It's pretty much plug and play. The PS3 recognizes it as a wired controller - not a wireless controller like the regular PS3 controller.It does have a kinda cheap plastic feel to it - much like the rest of their controllers. It's not as good as 1st party controller. But when it comes to 3rd party controllers; Retro Fighters are pretty much the masters.

What a disappointment.
I was really looking forward to this controller, because good, wireless PS1/PS2 controllers are hard to find. In some ways this passes that test. I really appreciate the implementation of pressure-sensitive buttons for example. The wireless functionality is decent too in my limited testing. However, the button combination for turning the controller off is strange. As is the choice to have a “Clear” button for Turbo functionality rather than just allowing the turbo button activate and deactivate Turbo on its own. The analogue sticks are fine, but don’t feel fitting for the PS2. They’re overly sensitive and smaller, Xbox-style sticks that sit rather high. However, the build quality is real issue here. It feels incredibly cheap in the hands, with stiff buttons that have too much travel, triggers that feel mushy, and genuinely one of the worst dpads I’ve ever used. Forget passing the Contra test, this dpad makes fighting games straight up unplayable. If you only play 3D games this could maybe get you by, if you can get used to the sticks, but anything 2D? Forget it. Unacceptable. I’ll be sending mine back.
