Always quality
Bought an additional controller for the Switch and this is my 8th or 9th 8bitdo controller over the years and they are always quality. Never had to replace one or or repair one, ever. They’re the best controller manufacturers in the game for me.
Ottima combinazione di design nostalgico con funzionalità moderne
Il design del SN30 Pro si ispira chiaramente ai controller classici, ma con un tocco moderno. La sua forma compatta lo rende confortevole da tenere in mano, e i materiali utilizzati sono di buona qualit, conferendo una sensazione di solidit e durata. Il colore viola aggiunge un’estetica accattivante e retr, particolarmente apprezzabile dagli appassionati di vecchie console anni ’90. Uno dei principali vantaggi di questo controller la sua ampia compatibilit. Pu essere utilizzato con una variet di dispositivi, tra cui Nintendo Switch, Apple, Windows, Android. Questa versatilit lo rende un’ottima scelta per chi cerca un controller universale. Inoltre, il supporto per il Bluetooth assicura una connessione stabile e senza fili, migliorando l’esperienza di gioco. Altro punto a favore, dotato di joystick ad effetto Hall, ossia una tecnologia che utilizza sensori magnetici per rilevare il movimento. Questa caratteristica non solo garantisce una maggiore precisione nei movimenti, ma riduce anche l’usura nel tempo, aumentando la durata del controller rispetto ai modelli con joystick tradizionali.
Best usb/bluetooth controller I’ve bough
I love playing all the old school rom games! I’ve used 8BitDo before but this one is amazing! I instantly got the nostalgia hit of the see through plastic. My old game boy had the same packaging. It performs well, lightweight, comfortable to hold, and connects with Bluetooth well. Honestly nothing bad to say about it! Just want one in green now!
Works really well 😁
A great retro looking controller that works great on the Nintendo Switch and also on Game pass and Amazon prime gaming.
Comes complete with C-type charge cable that also allows you to keep playing while it’s plugged in a Nd charging.
On pc I have tried it with games such as
Tomb Raider
Forza Horizon
Resident Evil.
And numerous Switch games.
The controller responds really well and I have not experienced any lag while playing games.
The rumble also works well as does the motion control but be advised the motion is for Nintendo Switch only.
Overall the controller works really well, is nice to hold for long periods of gaming and the analogue sticks again feel nice to use, work really well and should last longer being the hall effect ones.
Charing doesn’t seem to take to long and once fully charged it last quite a decent amount of time.
The controller was really simple to connect and I had no issues connecting it to my PC or my Switch.
Currently priced at 39.99 I’d say that’s a fair price and the top end of what I would expect to pay.
Definitely recommended and from a company you can trust aswell
supe
fonctionne parfaitement, il ne devrait y avoir que a comme mannette, les collectionneurs comme moi ont des sacs remplis de joystick en tout genre qui ne servent plus car console en vitrine, elle fait tout principalement et rpond assez bien pour du Bluetooth sur mes 2/3essais sur recalbox ! j’ai retir 1 toile car le prix me chatouille encore les oreilles, je reprendrais surement la verte mais seulement si il y a une promo dessus c’est pas une manette ps4/5 avec micro et pav tactile non plus donc son prix est pour moi trop lev, cependant ca reste un super produit !
8BitDo hat es einfach drauf
Ich gebe zu, dass ich bereits Produkte von 8BitDo mein Eigen nennen darf.
Und als Retro Spieler sind gerade die Controller interessant.
Beim SN30 Pro hat man den Stil des SNES Controllers von Nintendo nachgebaut, aber mit zustzlichen Funktionen ausgestattet, damit man auch moderne Spiele zocken kann. Grundstzlich ist dieser Controller fr die Switch gedacht, was das Buttonlayout auch gut zeigt. Das Verbinden mit der Switch klappt mit Umwegen ganz gut und man kann schnell loslegen.
Die Form ist fr heutige Verhltnisse altbacken und vielleicht nicht so schn ergonomisch wie die heutigen Controller, aber dieser liegt gut in der Hand und die Analogsticks sind gut zu erreichen. PS Gamer knnen relaten. Das D-Pad ist przise und kann gerade bei SNES Games das ntige nostalgische Feeling verschaffen.
Die Druckpunkte sind sehr gut und es klappert nichts. Daher ist die Verarbeitung ausgezeichnet.
Wer ein wenig mehr Grip braucht, gibt es diesen Controller auch mit Schenkeln, die das Handling erleichtern.
Ansonsten habt ihr bei diesem Controller ein gut verarbeitetes Produkt, was fr Retrofans ein Must have ist. Ihr habt einen Rasberry Pi? Dann seid ihr hier auch an der richtigen Adresse.
Souvenirs de la SNES
45 au moment de la commande.
Plus chre que les manettes type xbox ou play qu’on trouve entre 20 et 40. Le prix correct se situerai plutt autour de 30
Batterie plus petite que ce qu’on trouve habituellement (600 1000 contre 450 ici). Mais pas un rel problme car peut tre utilise avec un cble.
Mais le style et les souvenirs (SNES) sont le principal attrait. Je possde aussi un Pad de la marque et leur matriel est solide et durable dans le temps.
Aucun souci pour l’utilisation sur PC et ANDROID.
The color is beautiful, feels premium. Dislike that the controller starts with the start button since it is easy to accidentally press. If starting the device wasn't on the start button but rather on a separate smaller button on the top it would be a perfect controller.

Manette rétro de très bonne qualité, compatible switch , téléphone, pc.
Cette manette violette est livre avec une notice en franais , un cble de rechargement usb-c asses long et de trs bonne qualit, c’est souligner. Je l’utilise seulement pour la nintendo switch. La forme de celle-ci diffre des manettes traditionnelles. Elle manque un peu d’ergonomie d sa taille plus petite qu’une manette classique et sa forme en ” haricot “.
Pour l’appareiller sur switch il fait appuyer sur le bouton Y + start ,pour capturer une photo ou vido le bouton toile gauche, le bouton en bas droite pour une mise en veille de la console ( mais pas de sortie de veille).
Pas de vibrations HD mais les vibrations classiques, pas de balayage NFC pour intgrer des amiibo par exemple. Compatible galement Apple, Android,pc .
Une batterie de 480 mAh, dure de rechargement une deux heures pour une bonne autonomie. Par contre pas jusqu’ 18h comme nonc dans le descriptif mais jusqu’ plus de 8h 10h environ raison d’une heure ou deux par jour. J’apprcie son look un peu rtro et sa forme comme la manette gameboy d’autrefois. De trs bonne qualit mais le prix un peu excessif: 44,99 euros.
Stile retrò, qualità moderna
Perfetto sia per retro-gaming che per giochi moderni, lo utilizzo senza problemi sia collegato allo smartphone, sia collegandolo al raspberry-pi su cui ho installato retropie.
Buoni i materiali, in plastica ma non da prodotto economico.
La modalit di input selezionabile all’avvio, o meglio in base alla combinazione START+X (xinput ad esempio), il controller si avvia nella modalit desiderata.
Trovo fantastico il fatto che in dimensioni cos compatte siano presenti i 4 tasti dorsali e i 2 analogici frontali, praticamente utilizzabile per tutti i moderni giochi e molto meno ingombrante da trasportare rispetto ad un controller classico. Compatto, stiloso e funzionale.
Prezzo in linea con la qualit.
Gran mando
Buen mando de buena construccin y materiales correctos.
Es cierto que la ergonoma no es la mejor del mundo, pero es entendible ya que busca el efecto retro del mando de snes. A este respecto, me gustara que existiese opcin como en la versin anterior de los colores clsicos.
Botones de switch, no gomas conductivas, pero de buena calidad. Est claro que es aposta para mantener lo mximo posible el funcionamiento del original, no para recortar costes.
Joisticks y gatillos con efecto hall.
Perfecto para juegos retro, pero si vas a jugar mucho con los gatillos L2 o R2, probablemente este no sea tu mando.
I was already happy with the usb-cord version (very good price). But this one along with the dongle works splendidly, looks nice, very good controller overall. The thumbsticks work well. No complains whatsoever.

Really nice
This is my first 8BitDo controller and now I see what all the hype is about, it is beautifully made and is the perfect mix of retro and modern, this is the controller that I didn’t know I needed until right now.
The controller looks and feels amazing, the d-pad and analogue sticks are top quality and all of the button presses (and return) feel perfect too. I honestly didn’t think this controller would be this good but I can see me using it a lot.
The price feels about right, it’s definitely a more premium product and not a cheap 3rd party controller.
100% recommended, especially if you’re a fan of the SNES controller.
