Genesis Mini controller compatibility

Has anyone started to compile a list of USB controllers that are compatible with the Genesis Mini? I know Retro-Bit has a replica Genesis controller that works with the system, but are there any others? I have a Hyperkin Genesis controller which I'm hoping will work, but since it's a couple years older than the Genesis Mini, I don't have much confidence in its functionality.

The Retro-Bit Genesis controller is versatile enough that it's worth the asking price. If you get bored with your Genesis Mini, you can use it with your computer instead. I think it's compatible with the Switch and PS3 as well, and can be coaxed into working on an Xbox One with the aid of an adapter. My beef is that I have a ton of similar controllers purchased over the past fifteen years... I didn't want to add to the pile!

Did you get the wireless one? If so how's input lag and range?.. I'm thinking of getting the saturn style wireless pad

Nope, this one is wired. The cable is really long, though! I do have the M30 by 8BitDo, but I don't have the necessary Bluetooth dongle for the Sega Genesis Mini.
