8BitDo have once again partnered with Analogue to develop a wireless experience for your original Sega Mega Drive and Sega Genesis. The Retro Receiver is a Bluetooth receiver that you plug into your original Mega Drive or Genesis. It allows you to play wirelessly with any original Mega Drive or Genesis model and even other aftermarket Mega Drive or Genesis systems. No more wires to trip over, sit back and enjoy responsive wireless gameplay using your favourite controller. These also double as a receiver for using the supported controllers on your Windows PC, simply connect using the included cable and use your favourite controller for PC gaming.

Note: Xbox Bluetooth controllers on the latest firmware released in Sep, 2021 are NOT supported any longer, due to their Bluetooth protocol change from Classic to BLE. Other products which are affected by this change also include: USB Adapter, USB Adapter for PS classic, NES Receiver, Classic Receiver & MD Receiver.
