8Bitdo SN30 Pro Wireless Bluetooth Controller (Hall Effect Joystick Update) with Rumble Vibration USB-C Cable Gamepad Compatible with Switch/Switch 2,Windows, Mac OS, Android, Steam (Crystal Purple)

Bought this to use for switch games with more simplified controls, and started with a top down Zelda game. Works very well and is comfortable enough for decent gaming sessions. I typically play for an hour or so a night and get no hand fatigue. Size is about the same size as a SNES controller. Will not turn on/off the switch. Came with 2 stick covers that I didnt plan to use, but the sticks by themselves seem a little slick. Battery has held up great so far. Out of the box I got around 8 hours before I decided to plug it in to charge. Color reminds you of the 90s!

Ok, so this is a day 1 review, but thats also part of it... TL;DR version: Well made, performs on par or better than "OEM" or name brand controllers; just buy it, 100% worth it. See pic with origional PS2 controller for size comparison 1) Shipping: i ordered this yesterday Dec. 7th 2023. It arrived Dec.8th 2023. Thats amazing and automatically gave it 3 stars. 2) Feel: This feels like a premium, "name brand" controller. The plastic casing feels sturdy and well made yet somehow retaining that good ol' nostalgic feel of the old controlers/cases us late 80s earyl 90s kids remember very well. All the buttons feel amazing; d-pad, ABXY, start/select, Ls/Rs, even the joysticks are nice and crisp. Virtually no button rattle either which to me never matters as lokg as it performs perfect but i know some people HATE button rattle and i personally cant hear any. The size is perfect, at least for me and i have around medium sized hands. Feels right in the hands. 3) Performance: So far im writting this review about 30min after delivery so i cant speak much there yet but i have tried it on my phone via bluetooth with some old PS1 games and theres virtually no detectable lag/latency between the controller and the game, you press the button the action happens. For comparison I recently modded my phat model PS2 to use a HDD and it has input lag, this seemingly doesnt from what i can tell. Havent used it anywhere else yet as i havemt setup anything else as i primarly wanted this to use with emulators. Cant yet speak on battery life but will update review after ive used it more If anythinf changes i will update my review as needed or after ive had the controller a little bit longer but initial impressions are so good im likely going to buy both the green version and OG version as well. If they made one in a clear blue id buy it day 1 without hesitation.

Absolutely amazing, exactly what I wanted. There is a downside, you need a traditional pc to update firmware, if you do you’re off to the races. I got this to use with my iPad for Red Dead, and if it don’t update the firmware it works, but I stuck to Nintendo bindings, nothing against that, but I prefer PlayStation/xbox layouts, updated the firmware on my pc and now the bottom button is Sony x/xbox A. The iPad thinks it is a DualShock. It is actually fairly comfy, the compact nature is the draw factor. Great little controller. Perfect size for a backpack controller, I plan to use it for traveling and as a backup. I absolutely love the clear plastic and the buttons feel nice. Another 8bitdo win!

+Looks cool +Great build quality +Buttons and joysticks felt good to use -Using the joystick cramps my hands Maybe this will be excellent for kids or small hands. Maybe can work with unorthodox grip types. I will be sticking with the brand but trying out a more suitable shape/size.

Great little controller. Works flawlessly with Windows, Linux, and Android (don't have Apple to test). Mine came with a slight production error with the left stick not sitting quite center. However since it hasn't affected normal use of the controller I opted to keep it as is.

I loved how small the snes controllers were so I wanted to try this since it could work on anything with Bluetooth. I LOVE THE SIZE AND THE FEEL! Perfect with triggers and the thumb sticks! ❤️ Now my #1 controller over my Xbox controller. I’ll use it for emulation on my Retroid Flip 2, and my computer for any game that can use a controlle.

Great little control very versatile with laptop and solid quality...connect right up easy

Great controller. I cant believe it has rumble for how small it is! Very easily paired to Steamdeck and now I can just turn it out and its immediately connected. Its on the small side but that's exactly what I was looking for. Easy to pack/travel and I use it to game in bed. I have some wrist issues and would sometimes get pain from holding the Steamdeck.

Best retro controller out there. I've got a couple of them. Buttons click nice, works great, thumbsticks seem an extra + for the money, and they last. Have had them for years now without one failing.

amazing grip and design

One of the best options in this category, just don't expect full size controller ergonomics

Unfortunately it stopped working after two months. I wouldn't buy again...

Es muy bonito su diseño, llegó antes de lo que marcaba y eso me hizo muy feliz, es cómodo bonito y la verdad funciona muy bien, sinceramente si es más para juegos clásicos o juegos no muy veloces, o sea digamos como resident evil 6 o juegos de competencia fuertes ya que hay una pequeña espera de milisegundos en gatillos y bumpers y pues en algunos juegos es muy notorio eso. Es cómodo para juegos clásicos de resident evil, funciona bien para Fortnite, Mario, animal crossing, Bayonetta pues solo calcular bien el tiempo de esquivar al igual que resident evil. Al final sinceramente si es muy bueno 9.6/10
