Being a Switch 1 player today, seeing all the Switch 2 players get their updates 💀

Lol, same. I bought a Switch 2 last week in anticipation of the update. I have a Steam Deck but it's pretty heavy and bulky. I can fit the Switch 2 tablet and 8BitDo SN30 Pro in my jacket pockets or purse but the Steam Deck needs a big backpack.

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.

Best Bluetooth controller for TV play with Anbernic RG40XX H?

I use the same one that’s on the image, an 8bitdo SN30 Pro. Authentic feel for retro gaming, but more comfortable than a real SNES controller (it’s a bit bigger). And has analogs for PS1/Dreamcast/N64.

How to Buy an NES Emulator Controller to Practice with on a Laptop?

I'm not familiar with any third party controllers that feel exactly like a NES controller, but if you do have an original you could buy a mod kit and install it yourself. You could also use something like a SN30 PRO, though that feels closer to a SNES controller than a NES one.

Cool micro farm mod

Check out the 8BitDo SN30 Pro and the 8BitDo Lite 2, they are two very solid options for smaller Bluetooth controllers.

Looking for a High-Quality Controller with Game Boy Advance / Retro Nintendo Vibes

I have these two. This "looks" like the retro color way and feels like a snes controller https://shop.8bitdo.com/products/8bitdo-sn30-pro-bluetooth-gamepad This one feels like like the old controllers to me because of the more square nature. This colorway has the Famicon coloring so maybe that count
