Introducing the Retro Fighters D6 Fighting Gamepad,
a versatile 6-button controller compatible with Dreamcast, PC, and Switch.

It features low latency 2.4 GHz wireless technology for a seamless gaming experience, along with a precise and responsive d-pad.

Integrated Kailh® micro switches

ensures optimal performance

The D6 is equipped with integrated Kailh® micro switches for both the d-pad and face buttons, ensuring optimal performance.

Users can choose from multiple directional modes, including left stick, right stick, and d-pad configurations.

Mix It Up

Use L/R, C or Z

The D6 offers two configurable modes for the C/Z buttons, allowing players to use either the L/R shoulder buttons or specific “C” and “Z” buttons.

Ultra Low Latency

to gain the response time advantage

Retro Fighters provides the lowest possible latency for the best gaming experience.

The D6 clocks in at 1.95ms Wired and 5.03ms Wireless.

 

Disclaimer on Latency Testing Methodology

The latency test for the gaming controller was conducted using the MiSTer hardware and an Arduino Pro Micro board utilizing the NES Lag Test core. To ensure accurate measurements, the contacts on the D6 Gamepad controller PCB were soldered to facilitate automated input signals. The tests involved simulating 1000 button presses in Xinput mode under two configurations: wired connection and USB wireless connection. The resulting latency values reported are the averages derived from the 1000-button-press tests in each configuration. These results are specific to the described setup and may vary based on factors such as environmental conditions, hardware variations, or different testing methods. This disclaimer is provided to clarify the testing methodology and to acknowledge potential variations in real-world scenarios.

I got this from winning a Retro World Series tournament up in Northern Utah and I gotta say, I'm liking it quite a bit. It's quickly become my preferred way to play Genesis games and it's pretty damn good for 6 button fighters as well. I prefer to use it wired, but it works pretty well wirelessly too. Just be sure to charge it when it shows up. My only complaint is that the switches in the d-pad are pretty heavy and can really wear my thumb down if I'm doing a lot of quick taps or motion inputs.

    Honestly one of, if not the best modern pad for fighting games that I can think of. Phenomenal job from the team. My only gripes with it are that it’s a bit difficult to open up and at first the D-Pad needs to be slightly worn in through play for more precise control, but otherwise I found myself thoroughly enjoying this pad.
