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

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

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

SNES-style USB controller in 2026? (PAL/JP buttons)

You might look for the older 8BitDo SN30 controller. NOT the pro model, just the standard one.Here's a link to their store with black and green ones. Those seem to be the only ones left, but look on amazon or elsewhere, as ones that look just like the JP/PAL Super Famicom controllers do exist. I hav

Sold all my Pockets and kept the best

If it’s any consolation, I recently bought the 8bitdo metal sn30 pro controller and it performs horribly. The D-pad is god awful. I’ve heard similar stories about the pockets metal version. The D-pad is already average at best with the normal plastic ones anyway.
