Good cheap wired controllers. Very lightweight, no motion sensing, and no rumble feature.

I don't really care about others experience on here, as mine have been pretty solid.

I've been using their controllers for PC gaming for some time and they've been solid. Are they as good as Microsofts Xbox controller? Hell no. But they do just fine as a back up. For $8, this is a no brainier to pick up as back up controller.

Have been needing an extra controller for my 4 year old, and he loves Mario; win win. Great price, definitely cheaper than anywhere else online.

Don't know about RetroArch specifically but the primary use for these has been on a windows PC and it works fine. I believe the use the older DriectInput standard and not xInput so they don't show up as xBox controllers but DirectInput is common enough I'd expect RetroArch to support it or at worst need some sort of DirectInput to xInput mapper

Edit. I ordered a Woo-hoo! Mario as a back up controller of secondary.
A lot of steam games (at least my old retro games) and need xinput.. so it is best to get a controller for PC as xinput imo.. I use retro arch too.. but don't know if that need xinput or not.. mame does not need xinput

---Edit---

Just realized these are on clearance, but there are none nearby, smh...

Steam includes a built in input mapper to let you used a DirectInput controller with a game that expects xInput and it pretty much just works. You can even add games you didn't get via steam to the steam launcher and it will usually work too.

Yes, Steam has a built in input mapper.. and no.. it does not work for all games. Gauntlet is one of the games that does not work and needed an xinput joystick. It is the reason why i now have 4 xinput joysticks.

Play on a Pro controller, then play on this. I'd rather have the Pro than 8 of these... which is about the cost ratio.

If you play 4 hours a day and throw your controllers a lot, this might be the better deal.
Great deal if you have kids though.
