Using retro inspired controllers when playing emulated games
Anyone here purchasing/collecting retro-inspired controllers like the 8bitdo SFC30, M30, FC30, or inexpensive replicas solely for the purpose of reliving the nostalgic experience of playing retro games on their original consoles?
Surely I ain't alone right? What other controller brands do you guys like or want to share. Feel free to share your favorite controller brands or any recommendations you have 😁

I have a decade old Buffalo famicom-style controller with ABXY just like in your photo, although mine is wired. I've opened it and adjusted the Dpad by partially covering the contacts with tape, and I swear it's the best Dpad I've ever used. I've also got an 8bitdo FC30 Pro but I rarely use it nowadays.
That's sweet. Aside from the turbo and clear buttons, that one seems to be closer to the original Famicom more than what I have (which have diagonal layout for the buttons)
It's actually kind of a drawback sometimes. Super Metroid for instance is pretty awkward to play since it's hard to hold B and press Y at the same time 😅
