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

Looking to buy a new controller specifically for fighting games, like Avatar Fighters. Any recommendations? I want to get into using the D-pad more.

8bitdo sn30 pro or the 8bitdo Pro 2 or 3 controllers. First party quality for 3rd party prices. Woot has a deal rn for up to 60% off if they're still in stock.

Does this work on Switch 2? SN30 pro.

Off-topic, but I simply LOVE these indents / notch / groove on plastic around the dpads and other parts Wish that the 8bitdo Pro 3 had these, it makes the gamepads look as a high quality product. The old SN30 Pro+ had these, but since Pro 2 they're lacking

Is anyone using the 8BitDo M30 2.4G Wireless Gamepad?

I have 2 other 8BitDo controllers (SN30 pro and Pro 2) and I am satisfied with the build quality on them, though the buttons on my Pro 2 are a little bit loud/clicky.

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
