The controller feels a little lighter than the original and the shoulder buttons are a bit loose

But its way too long if youre getting the controller for playing sega games on a typical pc at a desk setup

The only reason i can think of not to get this controller is if you want dual compatibility with emulators and original hardware in which case i would say to get the wireless one instead
