This is the one you want. This is seriously brilliant. This feels like the good old nes controller, save for the addition of shoulder * and two extra face *.
Bitdo produces fantastic retro gaming pad replicas that just cannot be beaten. Really pleased with this controller for my raspberry pi 3 for retro gaming. Similar to the controller that came with the nintendo entertainment system of the 1980s.
