Expensive, but worth it.
Connects easily and reliably, feels great, definitely a quality item. The triggers are a bit lighter than the original but are very precise, and you also get shoulder buttons in addition to the triggers. This was very nice while playing Playstation games on Bleemcast.The problem is connecting VMUs while using it. The wireless receiver is a dongle that connects one, but only one, and it doesn't work with the 4x cards, so ultimately you have to plug in a regular corded controller just to connect two more memory cards and sort of just tuck it out of the way. That part is less than ideal. I'm still going to give the five stars though, on the basis that there's a very simple workaround, and it won't affect everyone. Would be nice though if they made a receiver that accepted two VMUs, or it just worked with the 4x ones.

Great technology - modernizes the Dreamcast
Awesome controller. Way better than the original design. The original design hurt my hand. This one is a modern design and if kids are used to more modern type game controllers, than this one will feel natural to them. The controls are responsive and the controller has a good heft. You can play from anywhere in a room and there doesn’t appear to be any lag. The only minor issue is that every once in a while getting it to register and pair can be tricky, but after a few minutes I have always been able to get it to do so. This may only be a problem for me as I have 2 of them. Definitely don’t regret getting these as they are great, even if they might seem a little pricy - they are worth it!

Finally, Dreamcast Wireless!
This controller is a great wireless option for the Dreamcast Wireless. When I held the controller it has a great weight to it and sturdy in the hands, feels very well built. Buttons have a nice click, analog sticks feel smooth (Hall effects!) and d-pad feels great. This feels much better than their wired controller.I did have an issue originally trying to charge it, I was told by their support that you have to use the included Retro Fighters USB-C cable. Once I used it, it charges just fine. Also to note it is 100% compatible with original VMU's they are adding firmware support (I am told) for VM2 and 4X Memory and 3rd party memory options. In the meantime I'd recommend using original VMUs, those work fine until a firmware update.Again, a great controller, has nice rumble and the triggers feel great, right amount of sensitivity. If you are a Dreamcast fan, I highly recommend you get this gamepad!

Defective controller.
Defective right out of the box. Tried to power it on it and got nothing. I tried charging it and still got noting.

A must own for dreamcast enthusiasts.
I have nothing bad to say about this controller. It feels really good in the hand. All of the controls have a good positive feel. I especially enjoyed the click of the buttons. It has a turbo button and two additional bumpers on the top, which is nice. Nothing about the controller feels cheap. It comes with a receiver/vmu port that you plug into the console. I don't mind that the vmu port is attached to the receiver. Some people will wish that it was attached to the controller itself. I understand that some games use the vmu for additional gameplay immersion, but that wasn't something I ever utilized personally. Connectivity was quick and easy and I had no problems. If there is any lag, it is virtually imperceivable. I only bought one, but intend on buying at least one more now.

Works great but there is a flaw.
Received my controller in great condition, charged it for about 3 hours then started using it. I gotta say it feels more comfortable than the original dreamcast Controllers! However there is one flaw, and that's you need a VMU Memory card to be able to save games. A regular memory card like the one I have from the first edition of memory cards, will not work. I had to buy a VMU so I can start saving my games. Other than that it is a good product. Feels good to be playing Alone in the Dark while I sit on the toilet since the jump scares make me 💩 myself lol 😆

A good DC controller for the modern age
Buttons are nice and clicky, analog stick is very smooth and precise. Feels more comfortable to hold than the original DC controller. Very pleased with the purchase!

Broken
Controller was fine but the right bumper was broken on both units I ordered. There’s clearly a faulty production line here.
