Retro gaming enthusiasts who missed the Japanese Super Famicom can now own a modern controller that captures its specific aesthetic and feel. Killscreen released the SFC-1 to bridge that historical gap for PC and PlayStation 5 players. This release gives a niche audience a tangible piece of gaming history that works with current hardware.
Retro-inspired controller with optional mechanical upgrades for PC and PS5
The SFC-1 is a custom controller built for two major platforms. It features a soft gray body that mimics the original console's shell. Graphite directional controls and multicolor face buttons in blue, green, red, and yellow complete the look.
- Compatibility: PC and PlayStation 5
- Thumbsticks: TMR Anti-Drift Thumbsticks (upgrade option)
- Triggers: Mecha Triggers with Omron microswitches (upgrade option)
- Face Buttons: Mechanical face buttons (upgrade option)
- Aesthetic: Super Famicom-inspired (gray body, graphite D-pad, multicolor buttons)
Standard models include mechanical face buttons for crisp, tactile inputs. Buyers can upgrade the controller with TMR Anti-Drift thumbsticks for improved precision and long-term durability. An optional Mecha Triggers upgrade adds high-performance Omron microswitches for shorter, faster trigger pulls.
Erik from Killscreen said the Super Famicom felt like a mysterious, cooler version of the system available in the U.S. The company wanted to capture that specific feeling and bring it forward for modern gamers. The controller is available now exclusively through killscreen.io.
