Any switch controllers that feel like Xbox?

You might like the 8bitdo controllers feel. I’ve got an sn30 pro 2 (think SNES meets PS2 but with all modern buttons) and the plastic texture feels pretty similar to what I remembered my Xbox one controller did. I’m actually really interested in 8bitdo Ultimate 2 for Switch/Windows use.

Movement problem?

Then in that case you might be experiencing input lag caused by the Bluetooth connection, it can be really bad depending on the controller and the system you're using. I used to use my old 8Bitdo SN30 Pro wireless on my Switch and the lag was so bad I couldn't time the perfect hit on Incineroar's co

I don’t understand the debate over the price for the Steam controller

Eh, wouldn't say that his statement is untrue either. It depends on the specific controller and the games you play. I've had 3 8bitdo controllers over the years: sn30 pro (1st version which looked more like a snes controller), pro 2 wired controller and pro 3 in gamecube colorway. Sn30 pro has VERY

New build Pi 3

I have a pi3 with a hifiberry board running retropie. Ps1 and snes work well, didn't really try the others so much as they're not important for me. 8bitdo's controllers work well, i have a wired usb model sn30 pro and a wireless something something zero. No analog sticks but don't need them for ps1

Nintendo controllers teir list

This ☝️ It makes me wonder how much it has to do with what consoles one had in their formative years. For me, SNES controller is definitely top-tier. I use the 8bitdo SN30 Pro about as often as my Switch 2 Pro Controller.

Gamesir ou 8bitdo

Eu tenho dois 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ e um Gamesir cyclone 2. Ambos são excelentes controlos e com excelente compatibilidade e com qualidade inquestionável. A 8bitdo tem uma vantagem para mim, que vende peças substituição e acho que isso pode ser interessante caso gostes de manter o teu hardware por mais a

Is it worth it?

I sold mine. It was a decent controller, but I would never pay more than £50 for it. I was a super early Kickstarter backer and excited for it, but when it came it wasn't too comfortable (even compared to other small controllers) and the company is definitely one of the worst to deal with unless you

Best mini, portable, pocket controller for game pass on android?

the 8bitdo sn30 pro+ is probably your best bet despite the button layout thing. i've been using one for mobile gaming and it's rock solid - the build quality makes up for any weird muscle memory adjustments you'll need to make. those cheap controllers under 20 euros are gonna feel like garbage after
