    Default Best retro controllers.

    I'm planning to get back into retro gaming, but I have a bit of a conundrum; what controllers to use. While the originals / ascii pads are obviously the best, I'm looking at what would make for good retro controllers.

    In particular I'm wondering if anybody on this site has any experience with
    http://www.nintendorepairshop.com
    and
    http://www.jjgames.com

    If you have any experience with the quality of the controllers sold on these websites I would love to hear your feedback. I'm looking at these two sites because I've heard of both before, the prices seem pretty good, and they both have 100% satisfaction return policies. I figure if nobody here has anybody experience I'll just give it a go and see how things work out.

    I'm also potentially looking at ordering some consoles from these websites as well, so as I said any feedback you can give is appreciated, or if you know a better site for purchasing retro consoles and peripherals let me know.

    For each retro console. I know it's asking a lot but I don't really know where to start and I'm looking to pick up a nes, snes, n64, genesis, saturn, and dreamcast all within the next year.

    I've ordered some parts from nintendorepairshop.com before and they were great to deal with. Not sure about controllers though, but I have no reason to doubt them.

    Thanks, I'm basically just asking for any personal experiences with nintendorepairshop / jjgames, or the best place to buy a retro controller for the previously mentioned consoles. Thanks.
