Manufacturer description
The SAFFUN 2 Pack SNES Retro USB Controller Gamepad brings the classic Super Nintendo layout to modern hardware without drivers, patches, or configuration software. Each pad ships with an approximately 5-foot cord, giving you couch distance from a Pi 3 emulation box or a laptop running Snes9x. Operating-system coverage is unusually wide for a budget gamepad: Windows 98 through 10, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Mac OS X, Android via USB OTG, and the retro-gaming distributions RetroPie, Recalbox, Lakka, ChameleonPi, Piplay, and Happi Game Center. On the emulator side, SAFFUN lists NES, SNES, Snes9x…
