Retro-Bit touts its version of those classic controllers as packing the same original-grade quality as their original Sega counterparts along some improvements. For one, the cables are now extended to 10-feet (3 meters) for increased mobility while in play. During development of the controllers, the company also paid additional detail in the performance of the D-Pad which is often a scrutinized component to retro gaming fans. They also repositioned the mode button in the controller with USB port to make it more ergonomic and cater to the gamer’s alternative gaming options.
