    Great controller, very comfortable to hold and the buttons are nice and snappy. Analog sticks are very smooth. And it’s 8bitdo so the battery lasts for ages. There’s a case which I’d also recommend
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2024
    Great little pad, which gaves the same feel as a SNES pad but with additional buttons and features, you can turn on an autofire feature, there are trigger buttons as well as shoulder buttons, however the trigger buttons are digital and not analogue. Having the hall sensors on the additional thumb sticks is a great feature though as it makes the hard wearing and more accurate with zero drift.

    The build quality of all 8bitdo products I've ever seen has been fantastic. This comes with a usb to usbc cable which you can use to connect the pad to your pc, mac or console, it charges it but can also be used to set up bluetooth for the pad on various platforms. I'm actually using it with a raspberry pi and it works great.

    I'm so pleased I bought this, couldn't recommend enough.

    The hardware is good, but I ordered this to work with the Switch 2. For that you need to upgrade the firmware to 2.06 as the device comes with 2.04. If you do not then it will not connect. When using the 8bitdo firmware updater it wasn't showing any firmware patches available. I emailed 8bitdo support but got no response. I finally found a setting in the firmware updater called "Get beta builds" and set this to on and it worked. This might be an issue with the current firmware tool and might be fixed in the future. I also recommend reading the instructions on how to get it into update mode and how to switch to Switch mode and bluetooth modes. Otherwise I am happy with the device.

    Everything about this controller, barring the right hand face buttons, is great. It had a good battery life and connects easily to a Windows PC. All the buttons are responsive and I’ve have no issue with any missed inputs. Size wise it’s fine too, it’s about as small as you’d expect. It works great for any game really, not just retro games.

    The main drawback are the four, right hand face buttons. After maybe 30 minutes my thumb gets sore. I don’t know if it’s that the edges of the buttons are a bit sharp, or just the shape of the buttons, or maybe the pressure required to press combined with the shape. Regardless, it hurts.

    I’ve played with many, many controllers in my life, and the only other time a controller had painful buttons for me was the Sega Dreamcast - and that’s probably because at the time I was playing hours per day!

    Unfortunately for this controller it took about 30 minutes before it started to hurt, and at the hour mark I draped a glasses cleaning cloth over the face buttons to smooth things out so I could continue to play.

    I’ve not returned this controller because it’s decent for 2nd player or a child to use, and it short bursts it’s also fine, but I’ve had to go back to using thr WiiU Pro controller for playing anything longer than an hour.

    As the title says, this is a good bit of kit for the price. It's entirely plastic but the build quality is solid. The buttons and D-pad feel nice and firm with a decent little click when pressed and are very responsive. The analogue sticks are also solid and accurate so far as I can see. I'm not the type to bother with measurements of lag while pretending that I can actually perceive them, but I haven't noticed any input lag from it's Bluetooth connection at all and it's stable.

    The only thing that might be an issue for some is that it's pretty small, on par with the SNES controller it's modelled on.

    This brings me back to my childhood. It connected first time to emulator, on android platform (12). It's the same size as the original SNES and my fingers are not as flexible as they were. This was fixed by getting a phone finger holder stuck to the back. Buttons are very responsive though some of the bosses in Zelda are still as hard as ever. All in all a very good buy. Have not tried with any other emulators but can't see there should be any problems. I bought the Bluetooth version there are cheaper versions by the same company, but these are hard wired. So make your choice. Go for it I don't think you will be disappointed.

    Nintendo Swtich OLED için aldım ancak PC ve XBOX vb. bir çok cihaz için kullanılabiliyor, eşleştirme kolaylığı, kalitesi ve eldeki hissiyatı çok güzel, premium bir oyun kontrolcüsü. Bu arada üretici firma olan 8bitdo.com üzerinden kontrolcünün modeli seçilerek update edilebiliyor. Beğenerek kulanıyorum.
