They have/had some retro to USB adapters, but not aware of where to even 
find them now.

Half the retro controllers or alternative controllers I've tried have 
really sucked.  Really like the Sega Saturn layout for controllers 
though, since you get enough buttons in a layout to cover Sega and up to 
SNES layout.

But the quality is so bad, buttons stop working in weeks, and within a 
few months, all are ineffective.  Best bets are a good XBox or PS 
controller with a Bluetooth connection.

Currently using a couple XBox wired controllers, but will probably get a 
couple wireless controllers, all the others I've used have been horrible.
