It's designed liked the PlayStation but it looks like cheap shit I guess. But I would probably still get it.
Would anyone get this controller for their Dreamcast?

I wouldn’t buy it because I’d never use it. The stock DC pad blows but it isn’t THAT shit looking at least. Also I already have adapters for Saturn pads so fuck no.

we're at the stage of armageddon where "Madcatz" controllers are being used and talked about.

It looks cheap and bad, like all those low quality third party ps1 controllers in the 90s. I would never use this. There are many good options in terms of adapters that will let you use good controllers and arcade sticks on DC, and this might not be a widely held opinion but I find the DC controller to be perfectly fine and responsive for the games in the DCs library, including the fighters. In this day and age are people really clamoring for a ps1 style controller for their Dreamcast?

The standard DC pad is one of the worst ever. The d-pad is asymmetrical, the triggers break, there aren’t enough face buttons and the shape of the thing forces your hands into an anti-ergonomic clutch that should never be the result of any tool or input device. It sucks. Oh, also the analog’s neutral dead spot is about %50 of its travel. These are my criticisms of it just as a stock pad. For fighting games it’s beneath criticism frankly, utter crap, which isn’t ideal because it was the best fighting system not named Neo for several years.
If you want analog, a Dual Shock adaptor would be a gift from heaven.
In period I used Saturn pads or Virtual Stick Pro unless the game required an analog like Sakura Wars, Shenmue or Skies of Arcadia. Sega GT and F355 caused me to buy the Thrustmaster wheel. F355 is basically unplayable on a DC pad. And of course the Twin Stick got a lot of use as well. I honestly didn’t use the stock pad all that much.

Brook has a combo DC/Saturn adaptor - plug in your modern controller (just about all PS types, Xbox or even Switch Pro controllers and all sticks) and you're good to go. You can even customize buttons. I use my modern Hori Hayabusa for fighters and a PS4 controller for just about everything else. Even has upgradeable firmware. Wireless controllers play wirelessly once they are paired as well. For less than any of these shoddy controllers like this or that Retro Fighters one, this is a much better option imo.

I guess a $40 adaptor is worth it…kinda pricey unless you’re playing by yourself.
Amazingly my Honk Honk bullshit from 20+ years ago still works so I still use that.

dreamcast controller is great for games that use the stick + buttons, or stick + triggers. not so much for d-pad heavy use.

Dreamcast controller is perfect for anything that doesn't require the d-pad, and when it does I'd probably be using a stick anyway.
I love the DC controller. Feels much better weight-wise with the rumble pack in. Have big hands and it feels fine, often don't curl my fingies in around the "handles" or whatever and just hold it like a book lol
I bought one of those PS2 controller adapters cause I thought I'd enjoy it more but it just felt weird and off.

Well, that’s certainly the mark of a great controller.

Sorry, still don’t get it. I think you’re missing a Sega in there somewhere, it just comes out sounding like a Fast and the Furious monologue.
Also I’m not going to Google nonsense terms for products that won’t exist in two years in a discussion about decades old stuff.
