Good pad
Very satisfied: good Recalbox/retropi compatible pad, relatively responsive. The select/start buttons are made of slightly stiffer rubber and stand out more than the snes pads, but that's fine. No problems with my Raspberry Pi 2.

still glad to have a SNES controller in my hands!
Functional and plug and play. Doesn't look solid though, I wouldn't recommend using it to hit the walls. I play retro games with it and I have no problems.
Surprise at unpacking: two purple buttons, two pink buttons. For games that explain the commands by giving the colours green, blue, yellow, red, it's confusing, but for the rest, it doesn't bother.
It works under Linux, the handling is not bad, it responds well.
The problem is that the contacts under the cross are on a rubber that does not hold well in place (design flaw: the button has two pins to hold it, the cross only one). Every few days, you have to take out your screwdriver, open the controller, replace the contacts, and it's back on.
In short, it's like a Chinese shop...
I bought 2 of these controllers to play in emulator.
Small surprise when I opened the boxes, the buttons colours are not the same as the ones displayed on the box (here, 2 shades of purple like the official US controllers and not red/yellow/blue/green). It's not a big deal but don't trust the pictures.
The controllers are not exceptional compared to official SNES controllers but they do the job (I've seen much worse copies).
No worries when using them, I use them under GNU/Linux and it's plug'n play. I don't ask for more
