    Perhaps it's because in recent years I've possibly played more SNES on emulators and other consoles like Wii than with actual SNES pads that where I'm PERSONALLY concerned that I completely disagree with your assessment that I'm going to get frustrated.

    I've played with this thing for a while and I have had zero instances of frustration when reaching for the start button.

    It may be a deal breaker for you, but not for me.

    By the way, has the system been released? Where can I find one?
    Apparently it's not fully out yet, I have one of 100 early release units sent to select Hyperkin product dealers, mine is #33. I and other people who got their hands on these are going to participate in a report on the quality/build of the product soon that may affect the final product.

    It may go through some final revisions before the full commercial version hits the market, and frankly it could use some tweaking where the audio output is concerned so keep your fingers crossed that my input to Hyperkin doesn't fall on deaf ears!!
