Retro Fighters Defender Next-Gen Wireless Controller Compatible with Nintendo Switch, PC, PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 in Black

I am writing this after I've ordered a 2nd one of these controllers. My last on was very responsive, has enough charge for several hours of play, and it felt great since it is similarly sized to an Xbox controller.If I had to give some criticisms, they would only be the R2/L2 triggers are just a bit too sensitive, it takes a little while to charge (but you can play and charge at the same time), and they are not exactly fireproof.... hence the reason I have to order a new one. RIP all my stuff (not the controllers fault)

If you’ve gotten accustom to the newer generation of controllers this is definitely a great aftermarket option for the older generation consoles, my only issue is that it says it works for a ps3 but it is not detected as a DualShock 3 so people using emulators be warned. I also own retro fighters controllers for the N64, a the switch an honestly will probably only get my aftermarket controllers from this company from here on. The packaging they come in is great very little plastic waste, an the feel of the controllers is great some of them are on the lighter side but nothing feels cheap about them.

The controller came with these minor surface scratches across its whole face (it's more visible in person). First, it was a BIG downer since I paid 21% extra import tax to get this controller and it's tough to get rid of scratches on matte surfaces. But thanks to my OCD acting up, I managed to reduce/remove some scratches just by "polishing" it with skin on my finger and ordinary cloth :D the surface is easy to scratch but is of good material.The packaging was really good so I'm not sure how these minor scratches appeared on the controller, but it could happen while shipping I guess.Other than that I'm completely satisfied with the controller:- vibrations are good, only slightly weaker than dualshock. That could be a good thing sometimes, cause some games vibrate way to much even it cut scenes and then your hands feel funky with this strong dualshock rumble- I saw people complaining about 2-stage button sensitivity but I compared it with DualShock 2 on GTA San Andreas and with Defender it was easier to accelerate the car at 4 different levels of speed... It was actually quite hard to mimic with DualShock in my opinion... So they are definitely NOT 2-way switches and the motion seems nice and analog... maybe even better than DS. People saying it's 2 way switch probably test on bad games.- On PC where you can adjust sensitivity the analog sticks are fine. But on PS2 where it's not possible they are way too sensitive (they are still good and you can get used to it with practice). It would be PERFECT IF they had a wider range of motion.. the full throttle activates too soon.- R2/L2 triggers are too sensitive and R1/L1 are too hard :D soft ones are prone to accident presses and hard ones are prone to accident de-presses. For example in metal gear solid 3 I couldn't stay in the first person while shooting, because when I focus on pressure sensitive button I also slightly lose pressure on the R1 trigger which deactivates first-person mode. If those triggers were a little softer, it wouldn't be a slight problem.- D-pad is not that bad. I like how it feels.- Minor pro: I saw that the DsHidMini driver plans to also support RF Defender :) wonder if I'll still need my USB dongle or if it will be possible to connect to the PC even without dongle (for example if I lost it, that would be a super cool last option)

This is a phenominal wireless controller. In a market where almost every option is a cheap knockoff, this controller stands above them ALL.My only complaint that keeps me from giving a 5-star is that the L2/R2 triggers need a slight bit of deadzone. They're so sensitive that if you rest your fingers on them at all, you'll set them off like crazy.

I'm using it on the ps2 and ps3. Easy to set up and works great for ps1 and ps2 games. Works very good for ps3 games as long as it doesnt need six axes. Sticks feel great and the d pad is very good. Only nitpick is I wish it was a little heavier.

Ok so, the controller feels and looks great! It connects to the USB dongle almost immediately and can be used on many consoles in my house, which is awesome.The major flaw is, the joysticks are WAY too sensitive! Retro fighters have said on their Twitter that they calibrated the joysticks to be a 1 to 1 match with the OEM dual shock 3 controller, but the problem is the Defender joysticks are physically smaller than the PS3 joysticks. The gates ( the plastic circles keeping the joysticks locked in) are also smaller, meaning there's less overall travel so you hit the maximum stick movement quicker. The dead zone is also more pronounced, so precision movement is impossible, resulting in me crashing my car and missing targets in GTA vice city. Theseare by far the worst joysticks I've ever experienced, and as of right now this controller is unusable to me unless I'm playing basic 2d side scrollers that don't use the joysticks at all. Also the "pressure sensitive" buttons are a downright lie; it's just a 2 stage switch: you press down and have a lot of resistance until it registers about 80% of the way down, then you can really mash the button to get to 100% pressure. There's no gradual increase at all, so lightly backing off the throttle in a racing game just isn't going to work. This isn't a huge deal to me compared to the joystick issue, but still worth noting. I wish Retro Fighters would just release a simple PC program to calibrate and adjust the sensitivity of the joysticks.. for now I'll just hold on to that hope and wait for the new dual shock 3 controller that I just bought on eBay.

This controller is amazing. Modern design and responsive buttons. Turbo feature is a game changer and allows for longer playtimes without finger fatigue. I use it with PS2 games and it is fantastic! I no longer need to have wires running from the console and my kids dont have to worry about tripping over the cords from the controllers.

absolutely love this controller-great buttons and feel- the only controller i care to ever use on ps2 from now on and it passes my unscientific gradius v latency test haha

文句なし プレステ2と3 両方に使ってます

L2R2に遊びが全く無い事以外は概ね良好。部品のクオリティは文句なしの出来で高級感もあり満足。L2R2以外のボタンの感触が本当に良いものだったのでせっかくならと調整の為に分解したところ十字キーのラバーがズレてたり、バッテリーが斜めに貼り付けられて組まれたせいでバッテリー包装がシェルに干渉していて跡がついていて破れる恐れがあったりと組み立て方が残念だった。L2R2の押し込み用の爪をデザインナイフで削り物理的な調整で遊びを作ってから丁寧に組み直したところ十字キーの操作精度やL2R2の誤射が無くなり感触も柔らかくなり感圧も効く素晴らしい結果になり満足。諦めない心があるなら買い。

1度目は接続出来ない不具合があり交換頂いてます。質感、握り具合程良く反応も問題ありません。ps2とpcにそれぞれのレシーバーを使って接続して利用。満足してますが他と比べ少し高く感じますね

充分に及第点です。十字キーや各ボタンの具合も素晴らしい。星をひとつ減らしたのは以下の３点がその理由です。①　１回の充電で約10時間操作可能だけれど、その倍は欲しかったと思います。②　説明書が日本語未対応なこと。不親切と言われても仕方のないところでしょう。③　手に取るとわかるのですが、両人差し指がL2・R2ボタンにジャストフィットするため、意図せず押してしまうことが多々あります。これが一番問題かと。とは言え、買って満足の商品。少し値段は張るけれども、操作性の悪い粗悪品を買うならば、格段にこちらをお勧めします。

買って1ヶ月過ぎ、スティックキーに対応していないゲームを久し振りにやって初めて気付きました。自分では、ちゃんと上や下を押しているのに、意図せず左右のどちらかに動き出す。右や左を押しているのに、上下のどちらかに動き出す。といった状況で、メチャクチャ苛立ちます。十字キーでは、まともな操作が困難です。ゲームのジャンルによっては、まともに遊べないでしょう。ちなみに、格闘ゲームの技を出す際のコマンド入力は、何度もやったが100%出せませんでした。格ゲーは最も遊べないゲームの1つですね。あと一つ、R2ボタンの反応が良すぎる。指が触れてるだけで反応するような感覚です。以上、問題はあるが、スティックキーで操作出来るゲームなら、このコントローラーのPS2,3で使える利便性は使い勝手いいんじゃないかな。
