The 6 Best original Dreamcast controllers (2023 reviews)

The bengoo original dreamcast controller is the best feature-rich controller on the market today. The cable manufacturing is perfect, braided material rather than bare rubber. It is used for an xbox to play call of duty. It reduces the chance of the cable getting tangled up. The design and the model of the poduct is really good and comfortable.

The adjustable mic makes it easy to adjust to where your mouth is located. It is made with solid materials. There is a volume switch on the wire that controls how loud the sound can be. These are great for gamers and office people that work from home.

Why We Like This:

You can mute and unmute with the flick of a switch
Great for gaming and good sound quality with lots of bass
Has easy volume control on the cord for quick muting
Comfortable, high quality, aesthetically pleasing headset

Best For Pretty things: Nexigo original Dreamcast Controller

Coloring on this controller at nighttime playing with friends is wicked awesome. Not only is this a really good controller for the switch but the option to alternate the coloring makes it so much fun. This is a powerful and super solid controller. The grip material on the controller handles are excellent, The Analog Sticks are surprisingly great and the face buttons feel fine, pretty good even but not everything is great with the D-PAD Especially more on that next.

This controller is compatible with switch oled, as well as nintendo switch and switch lite. It is nicely bright and colored to make it easy to find. The vibration is adjustable and the light pattern can be changed. When you first plug in the controller with usb to charge it, it automatically pairs to the console and is then ready to be used.

Why We Like This:

3 hours, and the battery will last for up to 10 hours of gameplay
Lightweight, battery life seems good, controls are solid
Delivers what they promise

Best With original factory Specifications: Brook original Dreamcast Controller

Next on the list, we've got yet another controller that manages to win our hearts. It's the brook original dreamcast controller and it's widely considered as controller that has the most suitable features. The Wingman SD works great with several controllers old and new on the Dreamcast or Sega Saturn. It includes 200 blocks of vmu memory built in. It is a great adapter for wireless retro gaming. Using an arcade stick on this brings new life to street fighter alphas, UMK3, and virtua fighters.

This adapter works perfectly on the Dreamcast with no noticeable lag when using a DualSense controller. It is easy to remap using the unit. There are several dreamcast games that will only save to controller port a, so if you're using a different wireless adapter without an emulated vmu, you can't save. This adapter is pretty much essential if you want to use anything modern, it even supports keyboards for typing of the dead.

Why We Like This:

Works great, and the extra memory card space is a wonderful bonus
Good brand reputation

Best With box: Sega original Dreamcast Controller

Buy on Amazon

It works wonderfully for fishing games. You can also use this controller for tennis 2k2 as it is a motion sensitive controller. The fishing controller has no slots. It is really responsive and sturdy. This controller works like a charm on these games. It makes sit more fun than using a controller.

Why We Like This:

Feels good in the hands too
If you love fishing games and retro games
Good investment for long term

Best Controller: Mad Catz original Dreamcast Controller

Buy on Amazon

If you enjoy some capcom or snk fighters and want your power punches and kicks quick and accessible, the dream pad is your answer. The Dreamcast controller, including the original one, the madcatz dream pad is the best controller for fighting games for two reasons. This controller comes with two additional reprogrammable buttons to map out those two analog buttons. There are also six buttons, which mimic the arcade stick.

This layout makes this controller especially exceptional for fighting games. It's comfortable, and the inclusion of Z & C on the face are great, but they still are in an odd position. Although, if you absolutely must have the extra two buttons (which you do for most Capcom stuff) this is the best option next to an arcade stick. With this modification the controller is basically perfect, as far as Dreamcast controllers go.
