An original Dreamcast controller rebuilt with Pulsar. It keeps the feel and controls of the original controller while replacing the cord with Bluetooth Low Energy and adding USB-C charging. I assemble and test each controller before it ships.
WHAT’S INCLUDED • Genuine, gently used original Dreamcast controller • Pulsar board, installed and tested • 800 mAh rechargeable battery • Translucent Pulsar enclosure and mounting screws • Choice of available enclosure color NOT INCLUDED • VMU • Dreamcast Bluetooth receiver or dongle A VMU can be used with Pulsar.
With one installed, Pulsar can display battery and controller information on its screen. VMU support is currently display-only, but with a MicroSap or other Pico2Maple dongle or when using Flycast 2.7+ it will pass through the images and save data. Without a VMU, the controller’s LEDs show the remaining battery level.
Original Dreamcast hardware requires a separate Bluetooth LE receiver, such as a compatible Pico2Maple or BlueRetro device. Pulsar can also pair directly with supported Windows, macOS, Steam Deck and Linux systems. Pulsar uses Bluetooth Low Energy, not Bluetooth Classic. It supports firmware updates over Bluetooth. Rumble is not currently supported.
Because the donor controllers are genuine used hardware, minor marks, discoloration or other cosmetic wear may be present. Pulsar is an independent community project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Sega. Ships within the United States only.
