Review: Big 6 - My favorite retro game controller, use it for everything up to ps1 and I love it. Dpad is the best one retrobit has released, buttons feel great, and the shoulder buttons are responsive and easy to press; works great wired or wireless on windows.
Review: Great Controller! - Pros: * The name is nice. * the size is good. * the B buttonand the Y button has the dots on them. * Original controller design with modern upgrades * the build quality is awesome! * the buttons feel nice tight and snappy compared to their older controllers. Cons: * None but... * This may be a con to some the buttons are raised which bothers me none. It may or may not be a deal breaker for you. I also did perfer the blue plastic controller holder/case, but the newer cardboard is alright. The grapic on it is nice though. Conclusion: All and all I love the controller and I hope to see continued support and new Retrobit controllers in the future! P.S. don't forget to update the controller to the newest firmware.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice gamepad, good customer service...
*by R***. on July 30, 2025*

EDIT: Retro-Bit sent me a replacement D-pad, which was fairly easy to replace with a small screwdriver set, free of charge. The one 'wing' of the inner component had snapped off. I unscrewed the controller halves, then gently pried the inner and outer D-pad pieces apart with a small flat-head screwdriver (for anyone that runs into the same issue). There's no snap/clip/screw holding them together. Controller stopped working after a month of light use. The D-Pad no longer registers on my RetroPie setup, nor via the Windows Game Controllers test application. I emailed the company about troubleshooting/replacement, just waiting on resolve. Otherwise, the controller had a good build quality and felt true to the original controller. I would rather have the Start button in the center or higher on the controller, but it's not that big of a deal. The Start button is right over the XYZ, so you have to be careful not to accidentally mash the 'game reset' key combo (RetroPie/PicoDrive).
