Controllers are truly a dime a dozen nowadays... But do these retro-inspired controllers, and their wireless adapters, stand out from the pack?

I was half expecting a bundled framemiester in the review, you guys should pick one up
 

Also this is easily their greatest creation, a tiny SNES Clone

When i read "retro receiver", at first, i thought Slick was going to review one of these:

Man, that receiver is very tempting. Does anyone know if the dongle has some kind of built in driver that it uses for all the controllers? Say for example, if I wanted to use a ps4/wiiUpro controller would it work right out of the box in steam or would I have to use DS4Windows/WiinUpro to mask it as an xbox controller?

am I the only one getting triggered by Luke saying "nez" and "snez"

@Leetee

Their website says that the controllers will appear to your PC as if they were 360 controllers. I have had a similar adaptor for a while (minus the SNES/NES port) for the Wii U Pro Controller specifically. It's plug and play. Games just treat it as if it was a standard 360 controller.
