It's been a long time since the original announcement, but I'm quite hyped to see that Retro-bit finally released their Saturn Pro Controller.

Yes, it looks a bit cramped, but I think it's the only controller in the market with 6 face buttons, 4 shoulder buttons and 2 analog sticks (the Duke comes close, but only has 2 shoulder buttons).

This should work pretty well as a controller that works with (almost) all retro games. So even if it's not as comfortable, it still sounds like a great pick.🙂

Sharing in case someone else was also looking for something like this.

Turns out this was not entirely correct, the Hyperkin re-release of the Duke adds some small bumpers.

I would say "I don't know how I didn't notice that", but the truth is, those are some pretty small bumpers 😬 .
