SNES to USB adapter $4.99

I bought this a few years back and is my emulator workhorse. I grew up with the NES and the NES controller will always be my first love but the extra buttons of the SNES controller are to versatile to not use. I mostly play Atari 2600 and NES games with it. For casual play I use the shoulder buttons for save state save/load and for speedrunning I use them for start/reset timer. As far as Windows software I use Joytokey, works flawlessly. I was NOT able to get this working properly on my Linux laptop.

Lets begin the vivisection…

epoxy glob, is expected. simple, thick traces, well marked…

Single sided. This is asking to be hacked into a SNES PC or some other project. Circuit boards don’t get more simple than this.

I have seen complaints of these not working on arrival. If that happens you can send it back or try to fix it if thats not and option. Repops and similar USBsnes controllers are significantly more expensive than this.

100% recommend. (except for Linux)

Edit: After “talking” with some folks on reddit, there seems to be concerns about input lag. I don’t notice whatever lag it does have. I understand “I don’t notice” is not a measurement and I likely just have muscle memory and anticipate what buttons I need to press early. With twitch FPS games any lag is a big concern but as far as retro games 2600, NES, SNES, etc I don’t have a problem with a few millisecond of lag.
