I would like to add a good portable solution for six button Sega-style: the Genius MaxFire Pandora. The layout is a directional pad, six buttons on the face and two shoulder buttons. Also on the face are a “Turbo” and “Clear” button. The controller is pretty small and it opens in a clamshell design allowing you to wind the USB cable inside the controller. This works well as my travel controller and is good for those Sega games that make use of six buttons.

My only complaint is that the directional pad can take some getting used to. Often it’s easier to hit a diagonal than directly up, down, left or right.

Peace,
