Retro-Bit Saturn Pro is modeled after the original Saturn controller, it has two thumbsticks. Retro Fighters BrawlerGen is inspired by the Genesis controller, it has one thumbstick. Retro Fighters StrikerDC is basically a Dreamcast controller with better ergonomics, some versions even have a VMU slo

6 button pad
Aside the 8Bitdo M30 2.4G Wireless, and the 8Bitdo M30 Wired Controller, there also is another option: https://retro-bit.com/controllers/saturn/ If you go wireless, go with a controller that comes with a 2.4 Ghz dongle, it will give you less latency than bluetooth. Also, the "Retro-Bit Saturn Pro" c

Is there a better universal pad than the 8bitdo m30? Maybe even a better Saturn style?
Not really, that’s the best IMO. But if you want something that can truly be used for basically anything the retro-bit Saturn Pro controller is decent, it has dual analogs and R2 buttons as well as six face buttons.

Victrix BFG Dpad

I just got the retro bit Saturn pro and I had a old controller laying around.I took all of the parts from the saturn original and put them in the pro and it feels twenty times better.

Dear 8bitdo - You ALMOST made the perfect fightpad
On the changes you're asking for, you're describing the Retro-bit Saturn Pro. Try that one. It's the best fightpad right now, I believe.

Deciding on a fight pad
If you want the same button layout as a traditional controller I suggest the new Gulikit Elves 2 (The normal not the pro version). The latest ad cheaper version is superior to the Pro. It has a 730Hz polling rate via bluetooth which is crazy. It's a really great controller for fighting games. Apart
