Key points

Requires adapter to connect to PC.
Lacks native XInput support, requiring the use of a XInput wrapper (see XInput wrappers) for games that do not support DirectInput or the controller natively.

Controller variations

3D Control Pad.
3D Control Pad.
The 3D Control Pad has an added analog stick, a flip to switch between analog and non-analog mode, and has analog shoulder buttons instead of regular ones.[1]

Use with PC platforms

Windows

XInput wrapping

Acting as native DirectInput controller, it's possible to use any of the generic wrappers. See the controller article for those.

Hardware

Mayflash SEGA Saturn Adapter

Directly compatible with PC. No driver needed, just plug and play.
Only for one player.
Compatible with PS3 console.

Bliss-Box Gamer-Pro

Directly compatible with PC. No driver needed, just plug and play.

Steam

Can be recognized as Xbox 360 controller but after manual assignment. Controller cannot be found in Supported Controller Database, so Steam recognizes it as standard DirectInput device.

Steam Link compatibility

Works natively over Mayflash Saturn Controller Adapter.[2]
Joystick configuration is possible on Steam Link, but the button mapping menu is finicky, so it may require several tries.
Only one Gamepad works. May not work with some third-party controllers.
Works without any drivers on any operating system that supports Steam.
Can be used just to send input from a controller to a PC. Go into Streaming options, hit Y and disable video and audio streaming.
Won't work great unless you connect it to LAN or a low latency Wi-Fi.
