Works perfectly on PC
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.

Super kontrolle
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.
Bueno!
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.
De lo más completo del mercado.
Funciona a la perfeccin. Vibracin, giroscopio, tacto de los controles y duracin de la batera. Muy contento.
Semplicemente ottimo
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
Mi mando preferido.
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!!! 🎮 📺

Encantado con la calidad
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
Satisfaction garantie
# 1 en terme d’ergonomie et de fonctionnement, je recommande assurment puisque satisfaction garantie.
Update: Works pretty good \ Worst controller I've used so fa
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.
Great 8bitdo controlle
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 !
Best controller I’ve ever used
Easy to setup, easy to use. As per my title it’s the best controller I’ve had the pleasure to use.
Hay mejores crucetas para juegos de lucha
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
Good
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
Overall Comfortable Controller, High Compatibility, not the best DPAD
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.

Firmware updating
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.
Calidad superó expectativas
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.

Works with iOS/iPADOS
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.
Awesome Product.
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.
icht perfekt aber sehr solide
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.
Mucho más cómodo que usar dos joycon.
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.

best controller for classic games
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.

I bought this to be a 2nd controller for when I play emulators with my girlfriend. There's not much to say that hasn't already been said about these controllers from 8BitDo, the build quality is fantastic for a third party controller, and connectivity is unrivaled, I can swap this out from my PC to my phone - on the road no problem. If you're a PC gamer there really is no better option.

guter Gaming Controlle
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
Comodidad, versatilidad y buena relación calidad precio
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!
Sehr gu
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.
Well-designed and worth the money
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.
Fantastic cross-platform controlle
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.

Ottimo
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.
Buy, shortlist, consider or avoid? Go ahead and buy it!
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.
Espectacula
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.
Très bon produi
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 ?
Manette qualité, mais ne vaut pas l'officiel
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.
Great Switch and PC controlle
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.
best controller for me
I was looking for a simple controller in order to play with some “retro” games (PS1 / PS2), and make the experience better – and this is the one for me. It has a great feel, clearly shows that it was well designed and not feeling cheap; works seamlessly with my PC, and gives me the immersion I need. Also love that it is charges so fast.
Black lettering on Black Edition model is barely visible.
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.
Get this instead of a Pro Controlle
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.
Très bie
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 …
Achet pour un usage PC avec Steam. Contrairement ce que j’ai pu lire dans les commentaires, aucun problme pour ma part pour l’appairer sous Windows, il suffit de la lancer en mode Xinput (boutons start + X) plutt que Switch, comme indiqu dans la notice.
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.

Amazing controller, with a strong hint of nostalgia
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!!!
Great controller prone to manufacturer erro
Controller feels great to hold, triggers and buttons are responsive, however there’s a bit of a dead zone on the analog sticks that I only just noticed yesterday while playing Devil May Cry 4. With the downloadable software from their site, this can be remedied but it’s still an inconvenience.
Still, much better than the joy con drift.
Using with Ubuntu PC with Bluetooth and playing steam games like horizon chase and my favourite dead cells. The controller is comfortable to use and good build. Way better than those other knockoffs that have become Best seller or Amazon’s choice.
Es un muy buen mando, se agarra muy bien a la mano y es de muy buena calidad, tengo varios mandos de esta marca y por ahora ningn problema, la cruceta esta muy bien, la han mejorado con respecto al modelo anterior, lo mejor de todo es que aunque va con batera recargable, esta la puedes sustituir por dos pilas AA, un gran acierto.
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.
Perfect as a controller. Not so perfect as a switch controller.
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.

Good controller. Good connection and also removable battery aswell included.
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.
Top Manette !
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%
Brilliant Controlle
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!
Great controller but 1 thing missing....
8/10
Would be a 10 but lacks a + button. So some menus cannot be accessed via this controller.
Almost perfect gamepad for 2D games, except for home button placeme
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.
More than I thought.
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.
Cómpralo!!
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.
Buen producto
Funciona correctamente. Lo prob en una raspberry pi 4 con retropie. Es agradable y cmodo de usa
Great controller for a great price
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.
Funziona bene, buoni materiali
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.
A bit large for my hands
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…
Toller Controller mit einem Manko
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.

Très bonne manette pour Switch... peut-être même la meilleure du mome
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...

Una maravilla
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
Favorite Switch Controlle
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.
Original-Zubehör Qualitä
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 👍
Great Christmas gift for my son. Easy to set up & use. No problems & instructions easy to follow.
Very comfortable controller, all the controls feel buttery smooth, the buttons, joysticks, everything. I have always hated the horizontal thumbstick layout but for some reason it feels better on this controller. The removable battery is just a great quality of life feature as well, in case it ever dies, you can simply use regular batteries and it's great again. This is perfect for everything that I need it for, switch, android, and even Chromebook. For some weird reason X-Input does not work on my Chromebook so I simply use D-Input instead.

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!

Comfortable, affordable, Controller of Choice!
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.
Muy bueno
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.
The best pad I've ever bough
Nice weight to it and setting it up is soooo easy deffo buying another one soon 🙂 Xbox and Sony should take notes.
Overall - a great second controller.
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 SWITCH
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.
Un control ergonómico, de calidad y agradable a la vista.
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.
Very nice well made controlle
Fits nicely in the hands and rwsponss quickly. Very nice controller, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Best controller ye
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.
Premium controller for half the price...
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
Overall a good controlle
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.
Excellent performance and good value
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, great controller! One of the best for switch.
Arrived fast and good quality
Good quality controller connects fast and easy to computer and switch.
Awesome Controller!
What an absolutely amazing controller, bought it mainly to play mario maker 2 on the Nintendo switch, as an old skool gamer I’m used to having a good “D Pad” which the switch (or other switch controllers including their own “pro” controller) just doesn’t have. When I got this out of the well presented box, I was absolutely amazed at the build quality for a 3rd party controller, it feels nice in the hand, has (imo) a nice finish and feels very sturdy.
Connecting the controller to the switch was a breeze, and the amount of deaths caused by incorrect inputs in mm2 have dropped drastically. My only grumble is that the controller can’t be used to turn on the switch, but the pros more than make up for the cons, I think any other controller I would have dropped it a star because you can’t power on the console, but that’s just how much it impressed me in all other aspects.
If your thinking of buying one, stop thinking and buy it!
Ein Meisterstück
Toller Controller, in der Preisklasse definitiv das Beste aber auch nicht vor defekten geschtzt, nach 3 Monaten habe der Akkupack auf, natrlich kann man alternativ AA Batterien nutzen aber ich habe ihn zurck gegeben und mir die SN-Edition geholt (Lila Tasten), schwarz gefllt mir am besten aber man kann die Beschriftungen der Tasten nicht lesen und ich wei sie nicht auswendig!
Ansonsten eine Empfehlung, Defekte gibt’s berall aber Amazon ist hier ja tolerant und entgegenkommend, da geht man eigentlich kein Risiko ein…
Viel Spa beim zocken!
Fantastic pro controller alternative with some slight downsides
What did you like or dislike? what did you use this product for?
I ordered this product mainly as I had heard other people recommended it as an alternative to the pro controller.
Initially, it used to be sold at around 50 each, but now it’s currently selling for around 35 so it’s much cheaper than the current pro controller price.
The design I choose is all black, admittedly I would have chosen a faithful SNES design with the coloured buttons but sadly it only had the purple versions.
The handles or grips provide a very comfortable way of holding the controller for people with larger hands.
If you’ve tried the old SNES controllers or even 8Bitdo’s previous versions of these controllers without the grips you would know that after a while your hands might start to cramp up with little room to properly hold the controller.
The rechargable battery is nice, so you don’t need to worry about running out of AA or AAA batteries like other wireless controllers.
Also to dispell some rumours, this controller DOES have rumble features. I haven’t tested any amiboo functionality but I don’t think it is there.
If I had to give any downsides is that the controller buttons can sound a bit “rattely”. A very minor thing that isn’t even worth taking a star off.
The DPAD is decent but could be better compared to other controllers.
Final verdict or thoughts: If you’re considering an official pro controller but don’t need the amiibo support and/or prefer the dual analog stick layout of PS4 controllers over Xbox controllers then consider getting this controller instead and save yourself around 15.
The fact it’s reprogrammable/customisable will likely make it a good choice to use on PC emulators as well.
Amazing feel and looks!
I like to use the most authentic controllers when using emulators, so bought this one for PlayStation games. What I wasn’t prepared for at all was it feeling better than an original PS controller!
It looks so so good with the all black scheme. It looks really classy as well as feeling solid and perfect in the hand. I have big hands and this sits just right.
Button response feels great and there is no lag that I can tell. Rumble function feels good too. Very similar to a PS4 controller.
Perfect for Playstation games but I have used it with lots of different emulators and even android games. It just works every time and the battery lasts much longer than expected. Very happy purchase!
Best Controller out there for PC!!
I live this. Having come from a DS4 that was not wanting to connect to my PC this was amazing. Felt as good quality as the DS4 connects not issues and is responsive and comfortable. Looks well cool in black to. Battery lasts an age. Real classy and great.
Highly recommended!!
Rock solid third party controlle
Ever tried a third party controller where the buttons were a bit mushy or the analogue sticks were too loose or just ‘didn’t feel right’? Well this isn’t one of them!
This controller feels premium and well made – there’s no flex to the body. Don’t let the face of the controller fool you – with the grips added to this design it feels nothing like a SNES pad. It’s got similar dimensions (and layout) to a DualShock 4 but feels a tad more angular on the grips.
The analogue sticks feel on par with the the DS4 and Xbox One controller – accurate and with a smooth range of motion. There’s no issue of missing an axis when pressing lightly on a diagonal like in some cheap controllers. The sticks themselves feel like the DS4 bit more like the Xbox in terms of looseness. The D-pad is accurate (no unwanted diagonals) and has a shallow travel. Face buttons are…buttons; fine and feel solid enough. Analogue triggers are very accurate but there isn’t a lot of resistance on the springs.
I’ve tested each of the ‘modes’ that the controller supports. X-input on Windows 10 for Steam games, D-input on my Fire 7 Android tablet for messing with Retroarch (X-input works just as well), connected to my Switch Lite (makes Dark Souls Remastered smoother experience). I’ve even connected it in it’s ‘Mac mode’ on my ancient MacBook Air – because we all game on Macs(!) – it works well with Tomb Raider (it shows up as a DualShock 4). It works wired on PC too if you need that. I’m using it primarily on my PC, connected to a 4 bluetooth adaptor that is connected to a hub and there is no noticable lag. Oh, when pairing enter the code ‘0000’ if it asks you (don’t think the instruction leaflet mentioned that but it’s kind of a standard).
I fully recommend this controller if you need multiple device support.
Works great.
This is a solid and comfortable controller
Pros:
-Well built and responsive, comfortable D-pad
-USB C connector for wired connection or charging.
-Removable battery pack, but can also use 2xAA batteries in a pinch
-Can be paired with multiple devices without needing to re-pair using different controller modes.
Cons:
-Cannot remotely turn on Switch when using Bluetooth (this is an issues with almost all 3rd party wireless controllers on Switch
-Prefer the older 8bitdo retro SNES/NES color schemes.
Hammer Teil ^^
Ich hab mittlerweile zwei 8bitdo einmal den SNES Fake und einmal ein Plus in Schwarz.
Ich persnlich finde die Hammer ja es sind keine High End Controller aber Preisleistung stimmt total.
Benutze die mit meinem Smartphone und der Switch, und bei beiden Systemen ohne Verzgerungen oder Strungen.
Ich hab gelesen dass einige bemekern das beim Schwarzen Joypad die Tastenbezeichnungen auch Schwarz sind, also ich find es Super dadurch sieht er edler aus. Und ich schau beim Spielen auf den Fernseher oder Display 😉
Der + liegt mir besser in der Hand (Hab Groe Hnde) wrde sagen der liegt so gut in der Hand wie ein XBox One Joypad.
Ich kann die 8bitdo wrmstens weiterempfehlen.
Buena calidad
Tenia mis dudas acerca de este control pero es bastante bueno.
La caja llego sin dao.
La batera dura bastante, los botones y el control en general se siente de muy buena calidad. Muy recomendable si tienes nintendo switch ya que el pro controller de nintendo suele tener problemas de drift y por el precio de un pro controller puedes comprar 2 controles como este.
Me gusto tanto que ya compre otro.
This was a highly recommended controller for platformers. My main issue with it is the d pad is just very "shallow," like it's hard to feel the button get pressed. I find my left thumb cramping up a lot. My other issue is it is by far the hardest controller to sync / pair with the Switch. All my other ones pair almost instantly, but this one can take two or three attempts before pairing. However I love the design and everything else about it is great - responsive and no input lag.

The ultimate third party gamepad for (just about) everyone
Been looking for a more traditional shaped gamepad to use with my phone and my computer – so here it is. I had already purchased a smaller pad from 8BitDo, but sometimes I just want a regular gamepad to use.
Overall, this is one great product. Battery life is pretty good, the materials quality is impressive and the responsiveness of the buttons satisfying. Configuring the pad and switching to different configurations (which you can also read on the back of the hardware, so convenient) is extremely easy.
Now that I have two pads, I only need someone to invite over for a game. LOL
Jokes aside, this thing is well worth the price and I’m just so satisfied. And if I ever need to set up a gaming party with pads, I know where to look for more.
