This review is from: Sabrent Twelve-Button USB 2.0 Game Controller For PC (USB-GAMEPAD) (Accessory)
The problem I find with this controller is that the buttons are too close together. Resulting me hitting two or three buttons at the same time. When e.g. pressing the button in the center I actidentaly always press the the two bottons next to it.

 Adequate for Emulators, By

This review is from: Sabrent Twelve-Button USB 2.0 Game Controller For PC (USB-GAMEPAD) (Accessory)
I purchased this controller for the sole purpose of using it with emulators on my PC. Considering the price, it’s not bad. Here’s the rundown.
FEATURES: The pad looks and feels like an original DualShock controller. The big plus is the 6 face buttons on the front, although they are a bit o the small side and the numbering scheme seems to be random. Each of the D-Pad buttons is individual, and not connected to the others at all (unlike Sony’s Dual Shocks). The dual analog sticks each click down for extra buttons. Overall there are 12 programmable buttons — 6 on the face, 4 shoulder buttons and the clickable sticks. There are 3 non-programmable buttons in the center — Mode (which enables all the buttons, make sure this is on all the time), Turbo (which forces a button to be pressed infinitely) and Clear (which clears Turbo). Oddly, there are NO Start (really?!) or Select/Back buttons, so you need to program start to one of the other buttons. Bizarre design choice. BUILD: The controller feels really, really cheap. If you ever bought an accessory by InterAct under their Performance brand in the 90’s, you’ll know exactly what to expect here. It’s exceptionally light, and the build quality is highly erratic. The D-Pad buttons are very loose and require a bit of effort to press, while the face buttons are tight and responsive. One mine, 3 of the shoulder buttons were tight and one was loose and tough to tell if it’s being fully depressed. The analog sticks were not aligned properly though they seem to work alright (luckily most of my emulators don’t use analog controls). Another thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the fact that the sticker with the serial number on the back of the controller wasn’t aligned properly. It’s obvious that this thing was mass produced with poor quality control for the sole purpose of selling it cheaply. It does the job for emulators, but the thing isn’t likely to take much abuse. Still, it’s one of the more functional USB controllers for less than . If you don’t want to pony up for a good Logitech controller or an official wired Xbox 360 controller, this will get the job done. Just keep in mind that it feels like its price.

Delivery was fast and the controller works wonderfully for my emulators. It does all systems perfect. It’s the only controller that can meet all retro system controller needs. Two analog sticks (this IS in fact analog, some controllers are six point), six buttons and four bumpers. Covers the N64, PS1,SNES, NES Genesis etc. I love it
