Trying to decide on whether to pul the trigger on the Analogue 3D

I love my A3D paired with my EverDrive and the 8bitdo 64 controllers. Yes, it’s plug and play 8bitdo 64 bluetooth controllers are great! They stay in sync, can power on the A3D, and you can toggle between rumble and virtual save pak. I’d stick with 64 style controllers. The sn30 pro and Xbox one con

SNES controllers in stock

i'd say the 8bitdo ones and the official ones have a similar build quality, except the shoulder buttons i find to be better on the 8bitdo, the nso ones are strangely clacky. i don't have an original snes controller to compare it to, but i feel like the 8bitdo's shoulder buttons are more like what i

8bitdo is an unreliable company and if you're thinking of buying one of their controllers to use with your Switch/Switch 2, just buy a Nintendo controller.

I own 5 products 8bitDo products. Personally I’ve had no issues with their controllers except the SN30 Pro’s analog stick rubber kinda breaking apart. The no wake-up is definitely a bummer too.

8BitDo M30 Bluetooth just got a firmware update for Switch 2 compatibility!

If they don’t update the SN30 Pro+, I’ll never buy another 8BitDo controller again

6 button pad

Aside the 8Bitdo M30 2.4G Wireless, and the 8Bitdo M30 Wired Controller, there also is another option: https://retro-bit.com/controllers/saturn/ If you go wireless, go with a controller that comes with a 2.4 Ghz dongle, it will give you less latency than bluetooth. Also, the "Retro-Bit Saturn Pro" c

Disappointed with d-pad on Pro 2 for Xbox.

SN30, Pro 2 and Pro 2 Xbox dpads were always bad. Stiff, with bad diagonals, just very generic membrane dpad. No wonder 8bitdo redesigned it like 2 or 3 times with every new revision and model. I can only imagine one type of gamers who consider it "great" - people who used to mash and press their dp

1 month anniversary owning a switch 2 and wondering if the pro controller is worth it?

.....I have the pro controller for the switch 1, 2 8bitdo sn30 pro's a gen 1 and 2, and a PowerA pro controller....I can't bring myself to justify the purchase but I have slowly grown to HATE the ZR/ZL-R2/L2 triggers on the SN30Pros, as full travel triggers are useless for basically all switch games

Can dobe ps4 controller connect with other devices like ipad, iphone, and even android?

The rubber on my thumb sticks on my 8bitdo controller completely disintegrated and rubbed off within a year. The ps4 controller I use for my phone is like 10 years old now and works perfectly with no wear that impacts anything. Sure it’s anecdotal but based on my experience with the 8bitdo sn30 pro
