Is the switch version worth it?
Get an 8Bitdo controller. I had an SN30 Pro for 3 years and it was great for the price

My MCON Experience (Part 2) - still don't buy it.
I sold mine on eBay and am 100% happier using my 8bitdo SN30 Pro and GameSir x2s, and having the extra cash back in my pocket after how badly I was treated by MCON + OhSnap as a super early Kickstarter backer.

Similar Controller?
You probably want a 8Bitdo SN30 Pro, but it's pretty pricy at $50. It's not X-Box branded, though.

What do you use to play the game? Controller?
Used an 8Bitdo SN30 Pro for 3 years because it has a great d-pad for the price, switched to Hori Fighting Commander because it's also more comfortable in hand while still being pretty cheap

Should I get the controller or wait and get the machine with the controller?
I can't think of any games with multiplayer that would be nice to have track pads and stuff for so I'd probably get a cheaper controller for player 2. When Valve was fire sailing the first steam controller for $5 I didn't even pick up a second one because of this exact reason. I saw someone had four

Pls help a Luddite mum: should I get a Nintendo brand or third party controller for my son’s Switch 2? TIA
You could buy Switch 1 controllers as they do work on the Switch 2. Still expensive but not as expensive as Joy Cons 2. If you want to go with a tighter budget and a more Super Nintendo aesthetic, there's the 8bitDo SN30 Pro

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

What’s a better controller?
I've had an 8bitdo SN30 Pro Wired for about six years now, and a Pro 2 Wired for about 5. I used to use the SN30 on PC until I got the Pro 2 so that I could have R2/L2 as triggers instead of buttons for better throttle control in games with driving in them like State of Decay 2 and Snowrunner. I use

I HATE SCALPERS I HATE SCALPERS
I've been using the 8bitdo sn30 pro+ for like.... Many years. With everything. It is exactly the basic design for common use and easy to use. Even has gyro and pressure triggers and all that. They're not that expensive.

Hello! Any recommendations for budget wireless controllers?
i've been using an 8bitdo controller for mobile games and it's solid without breaking the bank. the sn30 pro works great with ipad and wuthering waves. connects via bluetooth with no lag. way cheaper than the console brand ones but still feels good in hand. perfect for gaming on the go
