Hyperkin "Scout" Premium BT Controller for Super NES/PC/Mac/Android (Includes Wireless Adapter)

This snes controller copy from Hyperkin works extremely well. No trouble hooking it up, works flawlessly every time. Battery life is incredible too. If there is any lag with this being wireless, I can't tell, though it is possible there is a slight amount. I was disappointed that there's no Home button on this remote. We use it with Retron 5, so with no Home button I have to juggle to controllers, one to play and the other to get back to the system menu. This isn't a problem, just inconvenient. *Note -if using with Retron 5, this system can only connect with one wireless controller at a time, unless you use an adapter from 8BitDo, called a retro adapter. This will allow you to use two controllers wirelessly at the same time. Bottom line, great wireless controller, zero issues with it. Would purchase again! The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.] 1 John 4:8 AMP For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 NIV for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23 NIV Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15 NIV Then these [unbelieving people] will go away into eternal (unending) punishment, but those who are righteous and in right standing with God [will go, by His remarkable grace] into eternal (unending) life.” Matthew 25:46 AMP

This product works exactly as advertised, both on the original SNES and on Hyperkin's SupaBoy SFC (it would be a real problem if it didn't!). There is virtually no lag (I have to say virtually, because it turns out it takes time for any signal to be received), and no perceptible lag at all in gameplay for Aladdin and Super Mario World (both of which use XYAB and shoulder buttons). It works really well and is very convenient when you want to play with small children. If this holds up over the next bit I'm ordering another one for my son. There are only two drawbacks, neither of which individually or jointly felt sufficient for me to downgrade to four stars. First: the instructions are simple and clear, but incomplete. If you follow them and do nothing else, the unit will not sync with the dongle. It may sound silly, but you need to press the small circular black button of the front of the dongle, *and then* press the sync button on the controller itself. It paired within five seconds, probably less, when I did this. But this instruction, intuitive as it may be, is not present in the instructions. Second, for an adult who doesn't have particularly large hands or fingers (in fact, they're probably slightly smaller than average), I found the controller to be very very slightly small. I just wish it was very slightly bigger. This is quite possibly due to the memory of how large the controllers felt in my hands when I was 10-12. But it's nothing unbearable. I very occasionally accidentally touch the A button when I am mashing B. In Super Mario World while riding Yoshi, that'll basically give you a jump-eject from him when you weren't expecting that. However, I discovered I was positioning my thumb a bit diagonally. Anyway, if you have larger hands, this might become a slight annoyance. Or maybe you're used to this, have adjusted accordingly, and will have no problems. In any case, it's convenient, feels great to hold and the buttons do not feel cheap. It's responsive, easy to pair, and works great! I'd recommend and will buy another as long as it holds up. Great work, Hyperkin!

This is the real deal!! I plugged I into my supaboy and it worked instantly. Super comfortable and good quality.

I've been a general fan of Hyperkin's offerings for over ten years at this point. When it comes to their gamepads, the last ones I bought before this were two GN6s for my Genesis/MegaDrive and, more importantly, their wireless NES controller called the Cadet. The wireless NES cadet is far and away the best NES controller I've ever used except for the original NES rectangle and dogbone controllers. Coming from that, the prospect of their SNES offering seemed good. Unfortunately, the Scout Wireless does not live up to the quality expectations set by the Cadet. The face buttons feel OK, if a little too soft. The DPad is... decent. One of the common complaints I saw on here was that the DPad has poor diagonals. The diagonals on mine were not terrible, but not flawless either. I tested using Secret of Mana, and I'd say the controller got the diagonal inputs perfect about 75 to 80 percent. That doesn't sound too bad. However, Hyperkin labels and sells this as a "premium" product for $32 US, $33 or $34 after taxes depending on where you live. For a controller of that price, these issues simply shouldn't exist. It's not a bad controller by any stretch of the definition, but it's nowhere near worth Hyperkin's asking price, especially when taking into account that there are better, less expensive offerings from other companies.

I own several classic gaming clone consoles ranging from cheap to expensive. Sometimes I like to bring one of my cheaper consoles over to a friend's house to play some games. I don't feel comfortable bringing my nicer 8bitdo controllers. I decided to buy these controllers. As far as controllers go, they work and feel great. The only thing I don't like about these is the pairing. They seem to take a lot longer than they should to pair. The pairing buttons are tiny and you need to use your fingernails in order to push the buttons on the controller and receiver. I guess I've become so spoiled with 2.4 ghz wireless controllers that I find pairing Bluetooth controllers too time consuming. Other than that, I can't complain. They're very responsive. They feel well made. The buttons and d-pad feel as good (to me) as original controllers.

It’s great quality and works with my classic snes like the OG system and the new one. I have two one for me and my son. I got him playing the old consoles but we like the wireless stuff the best so this is amazing and the battery lasts for ever it seems.

I bought this for my newly acquired Analogue Super NT. Wireless SNES controllers seem to be in short supply as there are few options. I'm glad this one is still available. It's a no frills 2.4ghz wireless SNES controller. There are no gimmicks like turbo or extra macro buttons. What it does have though is a more modern and ergonomic form factor which my hands appreciate. You just plug it in, pair the controller to the receiver and it just works. I don't perceive any lag. I wish they made the design to mimic the super famicom colors as well. All in all I'm very happy with this. Easy recommendation.

I ordered a Super NT from Analogue and bought this controller for it since the system doesn't come with one. It works great. I've had no issues. It synced easily and feels comfortable. If anyone else is in the same boat, this is a good option for a wireless SNES controller that's readily available and not overpriced.

EXCELENTE!!! La verdad no sé si sea mala suerte por los que comenten mal sobre el producto, o buena suerte por de mi parte porque, realmente me ha funcionado de maravilla, tanto en mi consola original SNES como en mi SUPABOY, hasta en mi celular, pero, en este último tiene un pequeño LAG, o retraso en respuesta, pero eso se debe o lo entiendo porque no es directo con el receptor del fabricante sino con el receptor Bluetooth del celular y pues no es lo mismo, pero solo fue una prueba, para eso uso otro control realmente, pero fue una excelente decisión haberlo adquirido :D muy recomendable, pero en el SNES y en SUPABOY responde muy bien, sin retraso alguno, espero hacerme de un segundo pronto ;)

純正本体と互換機FC DUALにて使用、思ったよりコントローラー軽量でした。時代の流れかワイヤレスでも全く違和感なく快適です。レトロハードがワイヤレスでプレイ出来るなんて感動です。難点はパチもんの十字キーがやや硬めなのとABXYボタンが純正よりやや深めなストロークな事、連射機能付きなら最高だった。初回のペアリング設定が、取説が英語表記の為。知識がないアナログ人間には無理かも？パチもん機ならこのコントローラーでFCも動作出来るので、同価格帯の姉妹機コントローラーnew fc用を買うより持ちやすさ操作性おいてオトクでわ？

Me sorprendió bastante la similitud de este control con uno original de SNES. Carga rápido y sincronizarlo es sencillo. No me encanta que se enciende con presionar cualquier botón (eventualmente vas a prenderlo sin intención cuando quizá solo querías moverlo de lugar) pero al poco tiempo tendrás esto en la mente y no te pasará de nuevo. Gran adquisición.

Me gustó mucho porque cumple con las especificaciones del producto, es para el Súper Nintendo y tiene buen alcance. Lo recomiendo.

Mejor calidad y más como de lo que esperé
