Topic: Finally found the right pad.

[X]

Any ever heard of 8BitDo? I picked up a SNES game pad from them. Well it looks like a SNES game pad but it's for things like smartphones, Apple comps, PCs, etc. I can now, Finally, play my emulators with a proper D-pad! I'm still struggling with the off/on bit but the pad itself works wonderfully.

I wonder if there is a Saturn Version to complete my Retro console wars featuring the best controllers of all time

I want one just like this, but with analog sticks at the bottom, click-buttons on the analogs, and L+R squeeze triggers (like the Gamecube L+R).

The closest to what I want is the Wii Classic Controller (no click-buttons on the analogs, though).
The Wii-U Pro Controller has the analogs on TOP (which I don't like) and the Classic Controller Pro doesn't have the L+R squeeze triggers.

Me neither, I also don't like that on the specially made Smash 4 GCN style Wii U pads you can't move the character in Smash with the D-pad... I wasn't happy

I've been looking at this one for a while now. Looks like it has everything, plus it is slim design.

This must have been the controller I saw a few months back but never inquired about it. Ah well. I still got a good controller anyways

Any recommendations for something that is easily compatible with Steam games, as well with other PC style games?

I have something that is something like a cross between a Playstation 2 controller and an old Sega controller.  If I recall, it was accidentally given to me or something...  (Found it in my stored items when I returned to college after a summer break.  I asked around and nobody claimed it, so I kept it.)
Anyway, it's always worked fine with random indie games and downloads that will support controller use, but it's not compatible with anything on Steam.  I even tried a few of the programs that are supposed to make any controller compatible with Steam but none of them worked. :-/

The go-to controllers are usually the Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers, both work perfectly with 95% of all PC games

Thanks!  XBOX is the one system I don't own and have almost never played...so is there any relevant difference between the two controllers, 360 and one?

[Aridale]

xbox one controllers. The wireless dongle is out for it now so you can go wireless with it. No special charger like the 360 one so thats a huge plus. Its all around a fantastic controller I use mine for everything

As for the 8bitdo... I have the NES version I carry around in my laptop bag and its great. Didnt know they made an SNES version too

[KaZudra]

Xbox 360 controller has a wired variant which is a huge plus, and works well all around.
Xbox One has micro-USB wired mode, which if you want to fix certain games (PSO2, Azure striker gunvolt), but the port on the top is a bit janky.

I reccommend the 360 controller, but if you are interested in the One Controller, definately go for the Pro or Razer Sabertooth

I know Sega themselves released a Saturn controller for PC in I believe the late 90s. Last time I saw one was on Amazon for like $30. For about $16 you could pick up an all in one adapter to use Saturn, N64 and PS2 controllers. The I beleive it's Retrolink (they did some NES, SNES and 6-button Genesis gamepads for PC) who have a Saturn PC pad.
