This controller feels almost like a first party controller with the quality of the plastics and button feel. Bluetooth connectivity was slightly tricky to figure out, but thats without reading any of the documentation, so thats on me. Would be nice if the controller grips were swappable, like the Switch Pro controller, but that’s really a minor gripe almost not worth mentioning. Overall 10/10 from me.
Great controller and it works. Long battery life. The only problem is that in sometime, I feel an input lag, not a huge problem, but noticeable.
This company makes quality controllers. This is the only aftermarket controller I would even consider purchasing and I don’t regret my decision To purchase it at all.
Lo encontr en una pagina de soporte de Steam, lo mas importante para mi es que funcioene con steam link, y funciona perfectamente.
Tambin lo uso para jugar Guardian Tales en Android, funciona perfecto.
I bought it mainly to play steam games with after my previous Xbox wireless controller died on me. Love the way it feels in my hands and how usable it is. Bluetooth setup was guided, and afterwards it automatically reconnects to the computer whenever you turn it on. This baby took me through 80+ hours of Elden Ring and I’m considering getting a second one for my wife.
Rien signaler, bon produit, bonne prise en main, les vibrations se font bien sentir quand il y en a. Appareillage sur la switch ou l’ordi sans soucis.
Funciona genial, la batera dura mucho, y se conect sin problemas al PC y a la Switch. En PC lo reconoce como mando de Xbox (XInput) y funciona sin requerir cambios con casi todos los juegos.
Connects every time. Triggers feel amazing. Can’t fault at the price.
Nostalgic feeling playing this new games with a SNES control. The control and the material very durable already drop it by accident not single scratch and still work perfectly.
Der kontroller ist super , die Knpfe sind nicht zu hoch und die Joystick Knpfe ( keine Ahnung) sind nicht so bertrieben lang wie con dem anderen kontroller.
Si est bueno, es ligero pero se siente bien, de buena calidad, y puedo jugar en mi PC muy bien, uso Steam y sin ningn problema.
Funciona a la perfeccin. Vibracin, giroscopio, tacto de los controles y duracin de la batera. Muy contento.
Joypad perfetto, ho comprato la versione + non so cosa ha in pi della standard. Cmq questo dispositivo viene riconosciuto subito dal mio telefono huawei, batteria infinita, gioco per ore sul mio telefono con giochi arcade retro, tipo mame, sparatutto, a tutti i giochi fin’ora provati. Lo consiglio vivamente
Encantado con el mando 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro+ que he comprado. Lo quera para jugar en Android por bluetooth, a juegos y emuladores; y me ha funcionado correctamente. No aprecio lag ni retardo en las acciones del personaje en los juegos cuando pulso los botones del mando.
Tambin otra caracterstica que me ha gustado mucho es que adems de la batera recargable, tenga la opcin de ponerle 2 pilas AA; por lo que si se acaba la batera y no quiero esperar a cargarla pues le ponemos las pilas y a seguir jugando.
For starters, $50 is an awesome price. Considering if you can find a genuine PS4 controller, you’ll be breaking the bank to get it. This controller proves companies can create a reliable/functional controller without going broke to get it. Delivery was next day with everything brand new. Was a little worried about how well this controller would actually function considering it’s identical to SNES controllers but boy was I worried for nothing. I was looking for a controller to use on my PC bc of course Sony’s dualshock PS4 controller won’t connect wirelessly, therefore having to use a cord (annoying). Easy set up with it’s Bluetooth. Downloading the software off the webpage was simple. The software let’s you customize the button layout to your choosing. Trigger action is clean and smooth. The controller has a nice heavy weight to it unlike other generic controllers being so light and hollow; it feels like a toy, but this in no way is the case. $50 bucks on a wireless, well-built, customizable, vibration sensitive controller that functions without hesitation. I’m not saying it’s the best controller out there but I am saying it’s the best generic controller especially for $50. You can’t go wrong buying this. Enjoy to all who purchased one. Game on!!!
He comprado dos iguales, los uso con una raspberry batocera. Funcionan sin problemas en pc y en la ps3 por bluetooth me van todos los botones excepto el de PS as que aunque lo uso porque el tacto y ergonoma es mejor incluso que el original, tengo que tener el sony al lado para salir de los juegos, algo que no me molesta. Totalmente recomendables, calidad superior a todos los que he probado. Muy buen trabajo de 8bitdo.
Fonctionne parfaitement avec windows 10 Pro en bluetooth
Petit regret lors de longue session de jeux la manette devient glissante car il n’y a pas de grip
# 1 en terme d’ergonomie et de fonctionnement, je recommande assurment puisque satisfaction garantie.
Update: Issue has been resolved, customer service was good. Also all the lag on the joystick is gone for now.
==================================================
Week 1: Worked normal, aside of some nasty input lag only from the joysticks (this was awful on Skyrim, Pokemon Shield and unplayable in Mario 3D World). Controller feels good, sturdy, good design.
Week 2: Decided to finally update to fix joystick input lag, after update red lights doesn’t stop blinking and then it… won’t turn on anymore. Yep, input lag and then possibly bricked controller.
Changing battery does nothing, same for charging, connecting to PC, holding Start + L1 + R1, Start + Pair, Start + Y, Start + X, Start, smashing the controller like the old times when the PS3 controller will not work, nothing.
What a shame, decided to go third party controller and this happens. Never buying 3rd party again even if it’s from a reputable shop, or even if it’s better than the official product (in this case the Nintendo Pro controller for the Switch). Even the bad controller that I purchased for ~$25 here on Amazon still works and can be used on PC, PS3, PS4 and possibly also the Switch.
The 8bit do controller is great, bought to play some retro games via android setup and works a treat. Note it ships in default switch mode and needs to be changed to work correctly with android devices which easy to do via a 2 button combo. Reccomended !
Easy to setup, easy to use. As per my title it’s the best controller I’ve had the pleasure to use.
El Mando es muy bonito, muy comodo, muy buenos materiales, buenos botones, 0 inputlag sin cable y la cruceta tiene un punto bueno y uno regular.
El bueno es que las direcciones apenas se solapan con lo que es raro que te salga una diagonal sin querer. Lo menos bueno es que no es comoda del todo para movimientos especiales en juegos de lucha. Se puede jugar, pero para estos juegos hay alternativas mejores. Por otro lado, los L3 y R3 son un poco justitos
A pesar de esto ultimo es un mando de notable alto. Recomendable
If u got a ps4 controller the only thing u needto get used to is the start button placement. Also turning on turbo by accident is so annoying
Keeping the review short, I ordered a couple of these to use as additional Switch controllers initially. I ended up testing them out on PC as well, and they’ve become my favorite standard use controllers. No touchpad taking up most of the pad like the DS4’s I used for this purpose, and the additional programming/remapping capabilities are nice. It also allows pairing in three modes, Xinput (Xbox/Windows), Switch, and Android, and remembers what it was paired to in each mode, making swapping between devices pretty quick and simple.
I actually use them primarily for PC, my PS2 with an adapter, and my tablet. The only real gripe I have with them is that the dpad isn’t the most comfortable. Its completely serviceable, but essentially about on part with the Sony DS4. I can play fighting games on it, but definitely don’t prefer to, and I have other controllers I use for that purpose.
I bought this for a retro pie build. Then I bought another. It’s very high quality and has great compatibility. PS4, switch, PC and Xbox pairing, etc.. Seriously amazing work by the 8bitdo folks. They have some other really great retro offerings too.
If using the 8bitdo wireless dongle *DO NOT* update the controller when the 8bitdo dongle is plugged into the PC. Once I firmware flashed the controller to the 5.* latest firmware it wouldn’t connect. To get the dongle back to the 2.* version you need to disconnect/unplug the controller (if USB connected) Plug the dongle in the USB, while Keeping the button pressed down on the 8bitdo wireless dongle, then use the 8bitdo firmware updater for all the products, not through the controller software, back to the V2.* firmware. Viola, back to connecting.
Est elaborado con buenos materiales, por lo que se siente muy slido y de buena calidad. Llevo 50 das usndolo de manera muy frecuente y no he notado problemas de desgaste. Aunque no lo he usado para juegos que requieran alta precisin (como FPS), me parece que los sticks y los gatillos cumplen bastante bien. nicamente el D-pad siento que podra ser mejor: el uso de diagonales se siente un poco rgido. An as, reconozco que super mis expectativas.
Otro detalle que me decepcion es que no puedo hacer uso simultneo del control y audfonos Bluetooth ya que interfieren entre s. Supongo es algo “normal” y no necesariamente relacionado a un defecto del producto.
Algo que podra mejorarse es la ubicacin del indicador de batera ya que cundo se sostiene de manera normal queda fuera de la vista del usuario, por lo que es frecuente quedarme sin batera a medio juego sin haber notado el indicador.
En general, muy recomendable.
Coming from a generic Xbox 360 controller this one feels much better in the hands. It works flawlessly with my PC for any kind of game, from GTA V to emulated ones. The only minor issue I have is that sometimes the X button needs to be pushed a little harder than the others to work but it rarely happens.
This is a really solid controller, perfect for all types of games. The wireless connection to both PC and Switch worked perfectly. I initially purchased this controller because of other reviews saying it had a really good D-Pad, and I was not disappointed. The D-Pad is very responsive and is perfect for fighting games and platformers.
I’m happy with my purchase. It’s a well made controller and I love the look. My only complaint, and this is just a personal aesthetic choice, is that I don’t like the glossy ABXY buttons. I’d prefer a matte finish or something with less shine.
But I can easily look past the buttons and I highly recommend this controller.
I bought the M1 iPad Pro (And its even better than they say, especially with iPadOS and with apps like Jump Desk (Which puts MacOS/Windows 10/11 on it 🙂 )
I downloaded some games that are awesome, but felt I needed a Controller, initially I nicked one of the controllers from the Xbox One X but kids moaned, so I was going to buy another X Box Controller (55 for a controller, Really???)
Then happened to see the 8Bitdo controllers, better price (20 to spend on games? yes please) , amazing reviews but little mention of if it works with iOS/iPadOS,
So I bought one and yep, it works perfectly, just make sure that when you initially pair it you switch it on with Start+A then press pairing button or it will not show.
Once the pairing button is pressed, go to Bluetooth on your iPad/iPhone and it will appear as “DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller” and that’s it.
I now have a mobile Games machine, ideal for long train or plane journeys. (now that we can do them again).
If you have an iPad this is literally a must buy and I am amazed 8BitDo haven’t marketed it as such.
Battery lasts a long, long time and I can charge it from the iPad Pro via the USB C port if it runs out
Its comfortable in the hand, the controls feel brilliant, and its reasonably heavy in the hand and feels very well made, no sign of any “drift” either. And it has genuine analogue triggers/sticks.
I bought the black version as it complements my Space Grey iPad.
Anyway to summarise, got an iPad? You need this more than you realise.
Ich nutze den Controller nun seit mehr als einem halben Jahr und bin insgesamt zufrieden. Verarbeitung, Design und Kompatibilitt sind einfach super. Nach mehreren hundert Stunden Nutzung ist bei die Rechte Schultertaste leicht “locker” – lsst sich also sehr leicht bettigen. Das ist aber kein groes Problem fr mich und knnte auch an mir liegen. Ich wrde mir den Controller trotzdem auf jeden Fall wieder kaufen. Der Preis – im Vergleich zu Billig-Alternativen und den von Konsolen-Herstellern – ist auch meiner Ansicht sehr angemessen.
He podido jugar con ms comodidad por ms tiempo el Switch vs la opcin de usar dos joycon como un solo control.
Tal vez la vibracin es muy fuerte y con un poco de ruido, pero si la puedes apagar creo que es mucho mejor la experiencia.
The controller is overall pretty good, and the Dpad is great, vibration is decent. The only bad part is switching between different software inputs for different devices.
some caveats before the review – i had to purchase a blutooth extended for living room use. although use on a pc up close would normally be fine.
The 8bitdo is the perfect controller to play classic games
the dpad on this thing is exceptional. as good as any controller in the past- on par with even the best (the sega saturn controller)
compared to the best of the current gen- the xbox controller- the difference in being able to do execution on moves is night and day- the xbox controller dpad is damn fine, but difference here is palatble- i feel the placement on this makes the dpad feel better and it just plays a better game.
if you know what MAME/retroarch is, i would consider this an essential purchase. it honestly feels like modern controllers have lag and this removes that feeling from the dpad
as for modern games, it is okay, the xbox one controller for fps and 3d games is better honestly. its just the placement of the 3d sticks is better for 3d games on the xbox one controller. also the triggers on the xbox controller are much better than this
if you buy this for what it was made for- enjoying classic 8-16-32 bit games, this is perfect.
Works amazing! Has changed my entire gaming experience for me after joycon drift ruined my switch experience.
ist ein super Controller, funktioniert gut auf meinem Windows 10 PC, Konsole + 8Bit Do USB Wireless Adapter. Sehr qualitativ verarbeitet, dafr etwas zu schwer…. insgesamt aber sehr empfehlenswert fr alle Zocker…. auch gute Akku Laufzeiten und Ladezeite
Es un mando muy cmodo, se puede conectar con facilidad con la gran mayora de consolas del mercado. El material de construccin se ve bastante resistencia, no tiene imputlag permisivo y su respuesta es genial. Lo he probado en Nintendo Switch (podra decir que esta muy a la par con el mando pro, si tan solo tuviese funcin para los amiibo lo superara con creces), PC y consolas de Analogue (Super NT y Mega SG) funcionando a la perfeccin. Muy satisfecho con la compra!
Das Gamepad ist von der Verarbeitung und den Druckpunkten her ein Traum. Auch das Steuerkreuz hat schn feste und przise Druckpunkte. In der Qualitt hatte ich das bisher sonst nur beim originalen PS4-Controller gesehen bisher. Absolut top.
Eigentlich ist der wohl fr die Verwendung an der Switch gedacht. Ich verwende ihn aber in Verbindung mit dem separat hier erhltlichen Empfnger des selben Herstellers direkt an meinem SNES. Beides zusammen ist nicht gerade billig. Aber von der Qualitt her absolut berzeugend.
I originally bought this to replace a different third-party Switch controller. This has become my go-to controller for almost everything.
My primary game when I first bought this was Project Diva Megamix. My playing actually improved almost instantly, and I knew why – the controller shape is nice without being too big for my small hands, everything is properly shaped, and the buttons and d-pad have become my favorite on any controller I’ve ever owned, maybe the only buttons I like better being the DS3 I still keep around, but not by much. At first I was worried about the size of the analog sticks (they’re only a little bit bigger than the joycon analogs, for reference), but I didn’t have any problem with it in actual use.
I know a lot of people buy 8bitdo controllers for the D-pad…you won’t be disappointed if that’s what you’re looking for. But even that aside, as a whole package, this is worth the money. It is actually universal. I’ve used it on macOS, Windows, and of course Switch with no pairing issues or hiccups. The software the allows you to customize inputs is good from what I can tell as someone who doesn’t remap buttons often, but it definitely did what it says on the tin.
My only gripe is that the shortcuts to switch between pairing modes for different platforms is not as intuitive as I’d like. Maybe if you switch between platforms very often you’d memorize them, but I do use it for both Switch and Windows very often and I end up reaching for the manual again to find the right combination or just plugging it in and changing it in the software instead.
Having said that, I really have no other complaints. It’s great all around, easy to pair, a good size and layout, has multi-platform support, and has never done me wrong, even with heavy use. And if you’re just looking for a replacement for the Switch to avoid the dreaded drift, don’t worry. You can’t go wrong with this one, and you’re getting even more than just a replacement out of it. Highly recommend.
Now that the sequel is out, if you get this one for cheap buy it. It supports pretty much anything you might care to use a controller with out of the box, even if unlike the sequel you can’t configure advanced features from an Android app and are stuck with Windows—good news, you don’t need to configure anything.
There are no caveats, as long as you know what you’re buying: a bluetooth (and USB, ofc) controller with gyro and Nintendo-style dpad and both analog sticks where they belong.
If I have any complaints about this product it would be that the trigger buttons are too sensitive and will trigger if you so much as leave the controller on your lap. And that they should include the mobile phone bracket in the box (which is often hard to buy around here).
Probably the best third party controller for the Switch (also used with my PC and a few games on my Android phone). It’s a cross between my 2 favorite controllers (SNES and PS4). Button remapping and analog/d-pad switching through the app makes playing Smash Ultimate so much better. A definite pickup if you’re looking for a slightly cheaper alternative to a Switch Pro Controller.
Ho acquistato sia la versione scura che quella chiara. Quest’ultima quella che anche per il colore riprende il modello del famoso gamepad del Super Nintendo americano.
Testati su 3 pc differenti e sono una bomba, soprattutto perch i tasti frontali sono comodissimi e sembrano indistruttibili. Una volta associati al pc si collegano all’istante tenendo premuto il pulsante start e dopo qualche minuto di inutilizzo si spengono da soli per non sprecare batteria. Ecco, questo magari l’unico neo, vanno a batterie.
Conclusion: great buy.
First, don’t underestimate a controller vs Nintendo Joy-cons. A controller plays a lot more comfortable and increases your gaming joy.
Secondly, this controller is very ergonomic – I’m used to PlayStation controllers.
Thirdly, this controller has very high quality, no inputlag and the best D-pad I’ve ever felt. I didn’t understand what people meant by the D-pad, but I understand it after I’ve experienced it.
You might want to consider the 8bitdo Pro 2. It is the same controller but it has a few upgrades. I don’t need those upgrades and didn’t want to wait a few weeks on the release of the 8bitdo Pro 2.
Este Gamepad es el mejor mando no de “marca” que he tenido en mi mano. Se ve solido, es super preciso. Tiene ese estilo Super Nintendo que es mi consola favorita. Lo uso en PC y en general los juegos lo reconocen como mando de XBOX lo cual ayuda mucho en la configuracin.
Por 40 euros aprox me parece una maravilla. Vengo de un Gamesir G3S que era un controlador que me encantaba pero debido al mal uso se me ha roto y este se nota mucho mejor sobre todo en calidades.
Belle qualit de produit.
Trs bonne autonomie.
Seul bmol et c’est pour cela que je ne mets pas 5 : pourquoi mettre le stick analogique gauche en bas ?
Top qualit, se connecte sans trop de mal, finition de la manettes qui fais pas trop “plastique”, bonne accroche ben main en version noir mat, la dure de la batterie et plus que bonne sur des sessions de 6 h de jeux, joystick ractif et confortable, bouton rtro et agrable, on n’a l’impression d’avoir plus une manette de ps4 en main que vraiment une super Nintendo, possibilit de la charger via usb-c avec sa interne ou la remplacer par des simple pile ( aucun intrt vrais dire ) mais j’aime bien le concept, gchette agrable et prcis, je voulais une deuxime manette autre que ma Pro officiel pour la Switch et j’en suis pas du, elle et bonne sans vraiment aussi tre au niveau de la officiel pro, on va pas se mentir non plus, la seul chose qu’elle a de plus c’est sa comptabilit avec pc, smartphone, Switch etc… Et bien sr la croix directionnelle qui est fais vraiment pour les jeux rtro type Mario Bross, marker, etc… Bien meilleur que la officiel …
Aprs pour le prix… Si vous voulez une manette juste pour jouer la Switch docker, tourn vous sur une pro officiel quelques euro prt.
Si vous dsirez une manette qui s’adapte plein de priphrique cette manette et faite pour cel.
La qualit des matriaux et plutt propre, et elle fais pas “bas de gamme” comme certaine manettes 30 euro.
Je valide.
The SN30 Pro+ is a great controller! It has replaced my Nintendo Switch Pro controller for the Switch and my XBox 360 controller for PC. The controller is very comfortable and I prefer the Playstation style analog stick and D-pad layout. The D-pad feels great while playing 2D side-scrollers and Tetris 99.
As for the cons: The entire shell is fairly smooth with very little texture to it, so if your hands get sweaty, it can get a little slippery. The rumble is a little weak compared to other modern console controllers and a little unbalanced. One side is stronger than the other, though you can balance it out using the software. The macro function implementation just isn’t quite there yet. There’s no way to put a delay between the button presses and the inputs are output rapidly enough that many games will not register all of them. You also cannot add analog stick movements to the macro. I do hope they add an on-the-fly macro recording mode at some point. But I don’t really use macros anyways,so it’s not a big deal to me either way.
All in all, I’m very happy with this controller and I’ve already pre-ordered the SN30 Pro 2, which looks like it’ll be a great improvement. Some of the cons look like they’ll be fixed on the Pro 2, and if they can get a better macro system, it’ll definitely be a 5 star controller.
Good controller. I am using it with Recalbox running on Raspberry Pi 400. Cannot comment for different platforms.
Because black lettering on Black Edition model is barely visible I exchanged it for Nintendo edition color scheme. Therefore I took one star off.
Probably the best Switch controller on the market. It’s very comfortable, it doesn’t feel cheap, and it has all the features of a Switch Pro Controller at a much lower cost, except for NFC reading and infrared which the vast majority of games don’t use anyway. Just be aware if you want to use amiibo you’ll have to keep a Right JoyCon handy.
The rumble is not HD, but that shouldn’t be a problem for most people. The motion controls are perfect so you can aim your bow in Breath of the Wild or Skyrim just as well as with JoyCons.
I personally had to connect it to my PC and use 8BitDo’s software to reduce stick sensitivity by 5%, because my dude in Animal Crossing kept taking a step backwards as the control stick snapped back, and walking slowly while my thumb was resting in a neutral position. I consider this a pro, not a con, because simply having the ability to make that adjustment, and remap the controller however you like, is very user friendly.
You can switch between your custom sensitivity/layout settings and the controller’s default at any time by clicking both control sticks at once. This might be handy for some people, but it might also cause issues if there are any games that use the sticks like that. (I’m not aware of any.)
I only have two minor problems with the button layout. The Start and Select (or + and -) buttons are a bit too far away from where your hands would normally rest and the control sticks can get it the way of them, and the very small, flat Home button being immediately below B means I sometimes pause the game by accident.
Another slight issue is that the controller can’t wake the Switch up from sleep so you’ll have to get up and press the power button, heaven forbid. Also, connecting to the Switch can take an annoying few seconds. If you’re having trouble connecting, wake the Switch up first and then turn on the controller by holding Y and pressing Start.
Despite these minor gripes, I’d much rather have this than any of Nintendo’s 1st-party controllers because all four of my JoyCons have developed stick drift multiple times each (I got tired of repairing them), and I’ve heard similar stories about the very expensive Pro Controller. I dread to think how much Switch Lite owners are suffering.
Parfaite et trs agrable utiliser. Fonctionne nickel sur android. Seul inconvnient, les lettres des boutons A B X Y ne se voient pas du tout …
Pour le reste, par rapport aux manettes XB1 et DS4, la croix directionnelle est plus prcise et agrable, les sticks sont configurables, la batterie est amovible et au format 2xAA donc sans obsolescence, les protocoles sont standards et slectionnables (xinput, dinput, switch) donc fonctionnement natif pour mac/Linux, y compris sur Raspery Pi.
Je confirme que la qualit est au rendez-vous, et le design aussi, surtout en noir ! Elle fait aussi bien pour les jeux modernes que rtro (pour ceux qui ont essay les jeux de NES ou N64 avec une manette Xbox…).
Un seul bmol : je n’ai pas encore trouv comment mapper le bouton Etoile. A priori ce n’est faisable qu’en xinput.
Pour ma part je la place d’une courte tte au sommet du podium des contrleurs PC, juste talonne par la XBox Series. Contre une DS4 ou XB1 par contre, pas d’hsitation, la SN30pro+ est devant.
I initially bought this controller to use with my computer and as a backup controller for my Nintendo Switch. I was shocked at how well built this controller is, and this is someone who has experienced first-party Xbox and Nintendo Switch Pro controllers. All buttons feel nice and snappy and the joysticks feel very tight. Overall fit and finish is flawless, and the black-on-black colour scheme looks very clean. For the price, the USB-C and rechargeable features were icing on the cake. Though I had initially bought this controller as a backup, it has quickly found its way into becoming my main controller.
Any serious console gamer will instantly recognise the lines in this fantastic edition from 8bitdo. The SN30 pro+ brings together the look of a SNES controller with the feel of a PS dual shock controller. It is a dream controller for those of us who grew up in the 90s. The wide versitility in terms of connectivity is amazing too, out of the box it supports almost all major plathforms and operating systems. I have even used this recently with controller compatible games on the ipad mini5. The removable battery pack is also a welcome feature, the gaming doesnt have to stop just because your battery pack has died, pop in 2 AA batteries and away you go!!
Cannot recommend this controller highly enough!!!
Por poner alguna pega, he comprado el mando de color negro y no se distinguen muy bien las letras de los botones.
Va perfecto con nintendo switch y con un adaptador bluetooth lo pilla al momento en el pc como un mando xbox, lo que garantiza completa compatibilidad, tambin lo puedes conectar por cable si quieres. Compra recomendada.
It’s fantastic for PC and mobile use, but for Switch, it doesn’t have Amiibo support (but I don’t think any third party controllers do either), and crucially, you can’t turn on the switch with an 8-Bitdo controller. That means this thing is fantastic as a multi-purpose controller, but it’s not a perfect Switch controller.
It’s D-Pad is top notch though, and it has motion control. ‘Nuff said. I’d say this is about as good as it gets for 3rd party controllers.
This controller its self is great. It is really nice to play SNES/NES games or anything where a D pad is wanted(Final Fantasy XII), or if you want the controller to feel more like a ps1 controller (Crash Bandicoot). The rumble is top notch. Only issues I have are I bought used from amazon warehouse and my controller arrived dirty and in less than “good” condition. I still prefer the pro controller for games such as Breath of the Wild and Mario: Odyssey, but if I could only have one I’d pick this one.
Very good controller. I haven’t used it much yet. But I’ve tried it on the Nintendo switch so far. Doesn’t seem to be input lag or any lag of any kind. Quality seems good. I will add more on the review once I have used for a bit longer.
Cette manette est simplement gnialissime ! On a vraiment l’impression d’avoir du matriel de qualit en main et a fait vraiment plaisir, elle parat bien plus robuste qu’une manette dualshock 4 par exemple. Niveau batterie, je n’ai pas encore pu la tester pleinement, mais ayant dj eu une SN30 Pro, j’imagine que c’est la mme batterie et celle-ci tenait facilement la semaine. Je l’ai assign mon smartphone, mon pc et ma Nintendo Switch, les touches rpondent parfaitement. Y’a rien dire, 8bitdo fait du trs bon boulot, je recommande cette manette 200%
Excellent controller. The fact that it can change profiles with a simple button combination is an amazing feature, meaning I can easily swap from my main Steam controller to being a Player 2 controller on my Switch. The analog triggers are a bonus for Steam games that use them!
8/10
Would be a 10 but lacks a + button. So some menus cannot be accessed via this controller.
I figured I could connect it to my PC, np. Little did I know you can remap buttons, change sensitivity of joysticks and create profiles to switch over to. USBC and rechargeable battery, uh yes. You can swap in some normal AAs if you need to.
8Bitdo is doing a great job with their products. I have this and a Lite Gamepad for my Switch. If you are looking for a controller that has some extra features outside of the norm. This is a great buy.
The D Pad is excellent for playing 2D games and the buttons are responsive to press. Only minor complaint is the home button is placed under the buttons on the right so have accidentally pressed it in the middle of playing games.
Mejor de lo que esperaba, funciona perfectamente en mi Nintendo switch y en mi Pc, la batera tiene una increble duracin y es facilsimo de sincronizar, totalmente recomendable.
Funciona correctamente. Lo prob en una raspberry pi 4 con retropie. Es agradable y cmodo de usa
After having used this controller a couple times a week since I got it, I am very happy about the purchase.
The controller is of a very high build quality and sturdy.
Pairing to the switch is as easy as the default controller and it pairs wonderfully with PC and Steam Link via bluetooth.
The D-Pad is giving me some serious NES controller nostalgia. The analog sticks are placed like a Dual shock Playstation controller and are very precise.
Ergonomically, I prefer it over the Pro controller layout.
Something worth mentioning is that it does *not* support Nintendo’s HD Rumble.
But all in all, the SN30 Pro+ has quickly worked it’s way up to the top spot of controllers for me and I would definitely recommend it over Nintendo’s Pro controller.
L’ho utilizzato principalmente su Mac per retro-gaming e con GeForce Now.
I pulsanti e gli stick analogici sono di buona qualit, abbastanza confortevole da utilizzare.
Ottimo il fatto che scegliendo una delle sue 3 modalit di utilizzo si possa utilizzare anche su iOS (ma io non l’ho ancora sperimentato). Per ora sono soddisfatto.
The controller works well, and I purchased it because I saw good reviews.
But I have some complaints about the design and size. My hand size is small, but I had no trouble with PS4 PS3 controllers. Yes, I do have trouble with this controller.
I am having difficulty pressing the start/select buttons in the center because my thumbs cannot easily reach there. The grip may have exacerbated this problem as I had my hands full griping the bulk, pressing center buttons, as well as the trigger buttons, became very uncomfortable. I think the version without the extra grip might be a better fit for my hand. I am thinking perhaps the mini-sized controller would even work better…
Ich bin kein Konsolen- oder anderweitiger Gamer, daher bewegt sich meine Bewertung dieses Sn30 Pro+ eher an der Oberflche.
Gekauft habe ich mir zwei Controller, um auf einem auf RetroPi fuenden Raspberry Pi 4 etwas betagtere Spieleklassiker aus jngeren Tagen zu spielen.
Einrichtung der beiden Contoller mit dem Raspberry Pi 4 onboard Bluetoothadapter funktioniert problemlos – wer mehrere Gerte verwenden will – unbedingt MAC-Adresse der Controller notieren. Das Auseinanderhalten der Gerte knnte sonst etwas diffiziler werde.
Die bei 8BitDo downloadbare Software zum Einrichten und/oder aktualisieren funktioniert ebenfalls anstandslos – hier Windows 10 .
Fr mich als Teilzeit-Gamer hat dieses Gert jedoch einen Nachteil:
der Controller ist schwarz und die Tasten sind nicht mit LEDs oder einer sichtbaren Beschriftung ausgestattet und somit rate ich fter mal was jetzt wo zu finden war…
Ansonsten kommt das Gert wie beschrieben und in gewohnter Amazon-Manier – zuverlssig und schnell.
Exactly what it is! Feels great in my hand. Very responsive, feels quality and worth the money.
Test sur iOS, Mac et Switch… tout fonctionne correctement, comme une manette officielle.
L’appairage sur Switch se fait tout naturellement en quelques secondes sans aucun problme, mme aprs avoir redmarr la console.
Sur Overwatch (switch) on ressent la qualit de prcision par rapport aux joy-con. Cette manette devient indispensable pour augmenter son niveau de jeu.
Les 2 joysticks sont trs sensibles. Avec le logiciel de configuration, j’ai ajout 3-4% de zone inactive pour viter les micros dplacements ds qu’on touche les 2 joysticks.
Attention ! Cette manette est faite pour des mains d’adultes :
Les mains courtes peuvent avoir du mal avec l’amplitude des 2 joysticks, et notamment pour atteindre la bute en fin de course oppose.
Si je devais trouver un “dfaut” : La gravure des commandes est en noir brillant, et sur la manette Black Edition, on ne voit quasiment pas les inscriptions dans la pnombre.
Great quality!, easy to pair and easy to upgrade the firmware…
Soy un fan de esta marca. Tengo cuatro de ellos y no puedo esperar a que llegue el nuevo arcade stick en Febrero. De esta marca me gusta sobre todo el diseo retro de sus mandos, pero que va acompaado de una gran calidad de fabricacin y lo mejor de todo su gran compatibilidad con todo tipo de aparatos. No solo puedes usarlo con casi cualquier dispositivo BT, sino que comprando adaptadores, puedes usarlo con la NES Mini, SNES mini , turbografx etc
I’ve now spent a lot of time with the SN30 Pro+. It’s become my favorite Nintendo Switch controller, even more than the official Pro Controller. The Pro Controller is great if you are only using the thumb-sticks, but the D-pad isn’t the best. I personally play a ton of retro games and fighting games, so the D-pad on the SN30 Pro+ makes it a better choice most of the time. It has a great feel like a classic SNES game pad.
One downside here is the lack of the Amiibo scanner, but how often does anyone use that anyway? The 8BitDo controller has old rumble technology and not the HD rumble of the Joy Cons and Nintendo Pro Controller. This doesn’t bother me personally either, as I often turn off rumble anyway, but this will make a difference if you like rumble. Playing pinball games, I noticed it the most. HD rumble has a great feel that accurately feels like playing a pinball machine. The 8BitDo motor rumble just vibrates the whole controller and doesn’t work as well at all.
This controller does have motion controls, and they work very well. The buttons and sticks feel great. One cool thing is that the controller can also do double duty and be used with my gaming PC. It has a rechargeable battery pack that can be replaced, and also you can remove it and use standard AA batteries. Some people may miss how awesome this feature is. I keep and collect retro consoles. Thanks to this setup, my 8BitDo Sn30 Pro+ will have a good, long life even if there’s no way to recharge it or replace the battery pack decades from now.
Simple software allows you to configure the buttons, stick sensitivity, rumble strength and more to get everything just to your liking. If you use the D-pad a lot while playing your Switch, I would highly recommend this controller.
Dieses 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro+ wie auch die direkten Vorgnger bieten eine durchweg hohe Qualitt.
Insgesamt kann die Qualitt in jeder Hinsicht mit der von Nintendo, Microsoft und Sony mithalten. Zustzlich gibt es einen programmierbaren internen Speicher zum Anpassen vieler Details zu Tastenzuordnung und Analogfunktionen. Wenn einem Form und Funktion zusagen, kann es ein wertiger Ersatz zum Originalzubehr sein.
Great Christmas gift for my son. Easy to set up & use. No problems & instructions easy to follow.
Dont think just buy. Best controller to use for every game but the d-pad for mario maker 2 and nintendo online works the best!
For this price this controller is perfect for people looking for an alternative to Nintendo’s Pro controller. 8bitdo have a history of making quality accessories and this one is no exception! Easy to follow guides and after initial syncing all you have to do is turn on the Nintendo Switch and press start on the controller and you’re good to go!
With USB-C charging port it also chargers really quickly too. The button layout is comfortable and has great reaction and is generally satisfying to play. This is now my go to controller of choice! It’s motion controls are also great for playing multiplayer games such as Mario Kart and Splatoon, but also great for single player experiences such as The Legend oF Zelda.
If I could ask for one improvement, I wish I could turn the console on with it but, for how well this controller does everything else and it’s price, it’s such a minor issue that’s more like a nice to have.
Es un gran control, se siente bien y el software que tiene permite mapearlo colo uno quiere, desde botones hasta sensibilidad de gatillos y palancas.
Desde el unboxing se ve bien y da confianza.
Su empaque es muy bonito y sirve muy bien para protegerlo y guardarlo.
Se carga por cable c, el cual incluye.
No tengo Switch para comprobar su funcionamiento pero en Android y PC funciona perfecto.
Es un gran producto.
Nice weight to it and setting it up is soooo easy deffo buying another one soon 🙂 Xbox and Sony should take notes.
A great controller for the price. Works fine on most games, but for some reason doesn’t track properly on World of Tanks Blitz. Overall – a great second controller.
I bought this controller for the analog triggers, since I started to play GTA V. I had other 8Bitdo controller and Nintendo Switch Pro controllers, so nothing with analog triggers until this controller. I’m really happy with it. I’ve played some Tetris with it, and I can confirm the D-Pad is excellent too (unlike Nintendo’s own Pro controller)
El mejor control para nintendo switch, la calidad es muy alta, lo nico malo es la posicin del joystick izquierdo que cuesta algo de trabajo acostumbrarse pero no afecta las habilidades de juego.
Es un control que se ajusta a las manos casi de manera perfecta. Se integra muy bien, por su forma, a manos medianas como las mas. Los gatillos analgicos se alcanzan sin ningn problema y el recorrido al presionarlos es muy adecuado y suave. Usarlo con Windows es muy fcil. La vibracin es potente. Me gusta que tenga batera recargable y terminales para insertar bateras AA; siento que debera ser considerado por otros fabricantes. Es fcil recomendar productos de esta marca.
Fits nicely in the hands and rwsponss quickly. Very nice controller, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
I got an NES30 Pro at a local shop a while back, that was my first 8bitdo and I was already intrigued. It had its issues but I thought it was a great idea. The SN30 Pro series really impressed me and I bought two of those that I still use. The Pro+ is a great improvement on the design.
I specifically wanted this for the AA battery option (I use NiMH rechargeables) and the analog triggers for some racing games. The grip handles are a nice touch, but as someone who historically favored Xbox controller ergonomics design over Playstation (similar but different), it took some getting used to.
Absolutely love this controller. It’s comfortable, buttons work well and as expected, every bit of it is well thought out and a noticeable improvement from the non-Plus series. It’s well built, doesn’t creak and groan when being handled, honestly it feels sturdier than an Xbox controller to me. Battery life is very good with NiMH.
This thing is tough too. I’m usually pretty gentle on things like this so I don’t see problems like wear on the rubber parts unless it’s just terribly made, but accidents happen… I accidentally knocked over a heavy wooden table onto the controller (long story), it got hit hard and I thought for sure it was trashed. When I pulled it out, it had one small dent in the face and functioned normally as far as I could tell.
Now that I’ve done some more testing on it I can say the only thing that’s different is the right stick only goes to about 97% of maximum in one direction while the other directions are normal. I never noticed this playing games with native controller support, but I did notice it playing some games where I’ve used xpadder to add controller support (which led to the testing). Not a big deal but I plan to buy another to replace it for home use.
This one has been put on smartphone duty with a clip installed for emulators and Moonlight streaming, and I’ve temporarily gone back to using my SN30 Pro for the computer. It’s much more stable with a clip than the models without grip handles.
I know its kind of a taboo to use a controller on a pc. I bet the pc master-racers would squirm at the thought but I am a gamer at heart and when trying to play assassins creed valhalla on mouse and keyboard I knew straight then I needed a controller.
There’s so many options for a pc player you have the most common being an official xbox controller even a ps4 one and a limtless amount of third party developers have jumped on board too.
8bit do seemed to be one of the better ones and I really liked the design of the pseudo snes controller but not playing a snes since I was a little boy (with alot smaller hands) I was worried if it wouldn’t be comfortable now. Then I see this version which is a hybrid of the snes and ps4 model.
First thoughts are its very well packaged, you know you are getting something of quality when the packaging is so good. Its also very well made and doesn’t feel cheap in anyway. It has a nice weight to it and analogue sticks feel tight, maybe the triggers are a little mushy however the sensitivity of all inputs including the sticks can be tweaked to get you the perfect response you desire. For me it works fine out of the box.
It connects via Bluetooth which is perfect for me as I only have 2 USB ports on my laptop and both are taken up. It was painless to pair aswell.
This really is a must have for any one seeking a new controller and you won’t find better for the price especially wireless. Your gonna need to spend at least 15-20 more to get an official controller form xbox or Sony and I honestly don’t think any of them would perform better especially with the custom software.
100% recommended
The good;
Comfortable, good quality tactile feeling buttons, a decent controller to use on all sorts of games but I’ll go into much more detail about the bad as that’s the important stuff, anything not written in bad, you can assume I thought it was good.
Fact is if you want a controller for the PC with all the bells and whistles what you really want is an Xbox controller, this controller is a bit cheaper though and is probably the next best thing.
The bad;
1. The writing on the black one is barely readable in anything but strong daylight, almost pointless to even write the button labels on if you ask me.
2. The triggers are just buttons that press in, not proper triggers, a proper trigger pushes in then clicks in when squeezed a bit harder, allowing for two stage actions, you can set up two stage actions with this controller but it’s a waste of time as no matter what settings you use you’ll misfire it all the time.
3. The rumble at least on PC at least will sometimes go crazy and get stuck in on mode and the only way way to stop it is hold the power off controls for seven seconds and turn it back on.
4. The controller software is a bit iffy, gives me error messages in Japanese.
5. No native steam support, in order for this controller to function you need to tell steam it’s an Xbox controller, other than that it’ll work fine you can map the buttons how you want, BUT keep in mind any messages from games that likes to tell you what buttons to press ingame they’ll be reversed unless you macro them to swap over or something.
I liked the original Game Boy theme that I bought the SNES and now the blacked out version b/c it was for additional family members to use. The hand grip was perfect, made the original Switch controllers feel flimsy.
The included battery pack is removable and you can pop in 2x AA batteries if needed.
Feels solid, my friends recommended the brand name and I checked out YouTube reviews which were all positive. PowerA was going to be my second option but they have non removable rechargeable battery packs.
Never tried the Nintendo Switch pro controllers, the 8bitdo SN30 pro+ is a little cheaper than Nintendo.
Good quality, great controller! One of the best for switch.
Good quality controller connects fast and easy to computer and switch.
