SNES USB Controller.

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 1:54 am

I've been looking for a SNES USB controller simply because I've always liked that specific controller and would enjoy it on my PC, I know they exist I see them all over the internet but ordering things like that from some shoddy website doesn't sit right with me, however I can't seem to find them in stores, I've looked all over my city so I'm wondering, do they sell these anywhere in Canada? I would also be happy with Wii Classic Controller USB adapter because the classic controller has the same build as the SNES controller with the exception of two additional anolog sticks, but unfortunately I also can't seem to find the adapter in stores either... :(

$45 shipping. That must be one heavy ass controller.

I personally have a PSX/PS2 controller adapter for my computer and it works perfectly. Even has two ports so I can use two controllers if I like. It looks like there are plenty of SNES USB adapters that are a lot cheaper than what you have listed so I would recommend one of those.

I'd much rather go out to a store and buy one than order one over the internet hence the creation of this thread.

:shrug: Just go to a store and buy one.... Not like we know where you are or any video game stores in your area.
More likely to find them in a small chain store or locally owned store.

I said in the first post I've looked around the stores in city and haven't seen one, it also said I lived in Canada meaning the only places I'd have a chance seeing one would be EB games, Future Shop, The Source, Wal-Mart, and Zellers none of which I've seen had the controller.

Amazon is a trusted site. You're not going to find an obscure item like that in a common store.

Making an USB controller out of an old SNES controller is a small project that doesn't require any knowledge of electronic devices what so ever since there are tons of guides for this all over the web.

Go to instructables.com and search for SNES Controller

Small project? Doesn't require any knowledge of electronic devices? I took one look at http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/snes_nes_usb/sch-revD.png and suffered a brain aneurysm.
