8BitdoSN30 Pro Bluetooth Controller, Hall Effect Joystick Update, Compatible with Switch, Switch 2, PC, macOS, Android, Steam Deck & Raspberry Pi (Gray)

I bought these for a home arcade to be able to sit back and play retro games.They connect exactly as the quick connect book suggests but remember to start with the combination based on what hardware you are using to, otherwise you will feel a bit frustrated.The range is only limited by the adapter you use. I initially found the range limited but when I switched from the cheap ali express adapter to an Edimax BT5 one, the range was dramatically different.

This brings me back to my childhood. It connected first time to emulator, on android platform (12). It's the same size as the original SNES and my fingers are not as flexible as they were. This was fixed by getting a phone finger holder stuck to the back. Buttons are very responsive though some of the bosses in Zelda are still as hard as ever. All in all a very good buy. Have not tried with any other emulators but can't see there should be any problems. I bought the Bluetooth version there are cheaper versions by the same company, but these are hard wired. So make your choice. Go for it I don't think you will be disappointed.

Great job games on fire stick

Everything about this controller, barring the right hand face buttons, is great. It had a good battery life and connects easily to a Windows PC. All the buttons are responsive and I’ve have no issue with any missed inputs. Size wise it’s fine too, it’s about as small as you’d expect. It works great for any game really, not just retro games.The main drawback are the four, right hand face buttons. After maybe 30 minutes my thumb gets sore. I don’t know if it’s that the edges of the buttons are a bit sharp, or just the shape of the buttons, or maybe the pressure required to press combined with the shape. Regardless, it hurts.I’ve played with many, many controllers in my life, and the only other time a controller had painful buttons for me was the Sega Dreamcast - and that’s probably because at the time I was playing hours per day!Unfortunately for this controller it took about 30 minutes before it started to hurt, and at the hour mark I draped a glasses cleaning cloth over the face buttons to smooth things out so I could continue to play.I’ve not returned this controller because it’s decent for 2nd player or a child to use, and it short bursts it’s also fine, but I’ve had to go back to using thr WiiU Pro controller for playing anything longer than an hour.

I've been using this controller a while now, it is actually perfect. One thing I'd like from the company though is this exact same controller but maybe at 120-130% size. I'm a Nintendo kid and grew up playing the SNES and the controller is perfect for retro games, only problem is my hands are now adult size hands and the controller feels a wee bit small!

Great controller. Using with my SnesPi4 absolutely love it. Lightweight and really well built. So brought another

Solid controller. Easy to connect and feels great in my hands.Just so retro and works with modern games aswell to give them a retro playstyle

As the title says, this is a good bit of kit for the price. It's entirely plastic but the build quality is solid. The buttons and D-pad feel nice and firm with a decent little click when pressed and are very responsive. The analogue sticks are also solid and accurate so far as I can see. I'm not the type to bother with measurements of lag while pretending that I can actually perceive them, but I haven't noticed any input lag from it's Bluetooth connection at all and it's stable.The only thing that might be an issue for some is that it's pretty small, on par with the SNES controller it's modelled on.
