what is the best saturn controller? based off colors, overall

That one, the see through Japanese one has the best look IMO. 3d controller a close second

Best? Your favorite arcade stick modded for Saturn compatibility. I use Sega VSHG with PS360+

JP Model 1/Model 2 controllers.
>colors
I prefer Saturn itself in original gray color, but Model 2 controller with colorful buttons looks slightly better.
Honorable mention to 3D gamepad
>tfw no 3D controller in Model 1 colors

I have no experience with Western Saturn accessories, but is US Model 1 gamepad really that bad? Why did they change it?

I have zero experience with Sega branded Saturn controllers, but from what I've read the grey ones use the best quality plastics. The white ones are the weakest. The black ones exist in a number of revisions, the earliest ones being the weakest. The darker the circuit board, the better the quality.

I found a Saturn clone pad for PC/gameport and wanted to transfer the circuitboard into a real Sega branded pad, but after seeing how many revisions there are, I decided to get a different pad altogether.

>>3335518
where did you read the grey one has the best quality? I'm thinking of getting that one.

3D controller or go home

>>3335278
am I the only one that hates the XYZ buttons on those controllers? I wish they were the same as the ABC

>>3336231
does the 3d controller feel good in the hands? looks a little too bulky

>>3336242
I'm TOLD it feels much better than it looks, but I've never held one myself.

>>3336242
It just looks beefier because of the weird shape, which doesn't interfere with actually gripping the thing from the thing.

I guess the wasted plastic was for the expansion port.

I was looking for info on the MK 800100 controller when I ran into this quality / revision overview but I can't seem to find it now. The (annoying) YouTube tells a bit different story but seems to agree that the grey ones are the better choice.

>>3336242
Imagine a Dreamcast controller but blockier

Was there really no point to the detachable chord though? I've always wondered that.

>>3336434
That, and easier to pack it in its box. Better for logistics (and thus cheaper to deal with its distribution) overall.

Nights 2 was supposed to make use of this port, with a motion sensing extension.

>I guess the wasted plastic was for the expansion port.

Sega has a patent for that; they wanted to put all sorts of extensions there, like motion detection and microphones.

cant seem to find this guy for more less than 85 bucks... I really want one

top kek pleb

>>3336994
I have a dozen or so spares I can sell for less. Shipping will probably be around $85 though.

>>3336250
It does, I can't believe they changed it really

>>3337189
It's not even that good

>>3337346
thats a bummer

>>3337346
what makes you say this? do you own one? have you used one?

>>3337346
>>3337468
I have the US version, and its all i play with. Good solid base, turbo switches for every button. It might not microswitched but i think it's pretty good for what it is.

>>3337512
how much did you pay for yours?

>>3337468
Not him but I own one and it's not great

>>3338163
you think its better to just play with a normal controller?

You could always make your own.

>i think it's pretty good for what it is.
If you want to set the bar that low--lower than the regular Saturn pad--then sure, it's "good for what it is".

Ironically, the box boasts that it's A MUST HAVE FOR VIRTUA FIGHTER, yet it makes VF almost unplayable.

I loved the 3D controller. It was the only one I used once I got it.

>>3339148
thats not a pizza box

>>3340036
not good for any games at all? lets be honest, nobody plays virtua fighter anymore

this guy gets it.

>>3338992
Game pads are good for some things, however if I use one it would be a panther. Don't worry. I have plenty of original controllers for you, player 2.

>>3336553
that older controller on the right of the preview to that video has a totally different dpad to the pal one

>>3340214
Yeah, everybody knows that fighters megamix was more fun.

>>3339148
You either over estimate the age of people here or the abilities of millennials.

>>3336242
Feels excellent actually

>>3344697
cool, maybe ill snag one then. I bought the normal grey japan controller and its feels much better than the regular black one for some reason. just feels more crisp if that doesnt sound too stupid.

>>3337512
>I have the US version,

Then you have a completely different pad that uses rubber membranes.

The hss-0136 uses actual arcade parts. It's as good as playing at an astro city cab. There's also a twin version which is literally the pad from an astro city cab.
