Moread HDMI to VGA vs 2 Pack Wireless USB SNES Controller for Switch 1/2 — Head-to-Head (2026)

Our verdict

Moread HDMI to VGA is our pick.

For a 2026 Raspberry Pi or retro-PC bench, the Moread HDMI-to-VGA 5-pack is the better buy: five adapters in one pack keep the per-unit cost low, while the two SAFFUN pads cost noticeably more per unit. The tradeoff is that these solve different problems — the Moread gets a headless board onto a screen, the SAFFUN gets two people playing — but only one of them is a hard blocker, and the Moread has the longer track record behind it.

Buy the Moread HDMI to VGA 5-Pack if you are wiring up multiple Raspberry Pi, Intel NUC, or legacy console outputs to VGA-only monitors or projectors — a classroom cart, a lab bench, a retro CRT/LCD wall — and want five identical, warrantied dongles at a low per-unit cost instead of five mismatched ones. Buy the 2 Pack Wireless USB SNES Controller if your RetroPie/Batocera box already has a working display and what you actually lack is two-player input, and you specifically want cordless pads with a 2.4GHz receiver rather than tethered USB gamepads.
