8bitdo recently released a new version of the M30 2.4G that comes with a USB receiver: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XPHP57T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-rUVDbJK68CPT
You can also get the version of the M30 2.4G with Sega Genesis receiver and combine it with a Raphnet adapter: https://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/db9joy_usb_v2/index.php

This second option is twice as expensive, but it lets you use your controller on both PC and Sega Genesis.
It is available for pre-order on Amazon
I recommend one of these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/8Bitdo-Wireless-Gamepad-Original-Genesis/dp/B07HB1XFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=KI7869CC2U0Z&keywords=8bitdo+megadrive&qid=1571502081&sprefix=8bitdo+mega%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-1
They work and feel great, for best results you will want to upgrade the firmware on both the controller and receiver(requires opening it)
This should do it.

I hear the 8bitdo m30 2.4ghz version is very good.

(It is wireless though so may not be suitable for speed running due to latency)
Edit: added more info.
Sick! So it is!
Just gotta wait for them to start selling them in Germany now. I see their other products around so hopefully it won't take long for this one to spread!

the 8 button is most sought after for future mods, i don't recall anyone selling sega branded ones(yet). buying the console from amz japan is only option right now for sega brand 6 button
8bitdo 8 button (best brand my opinion)
