8Bitdo SN30 Pro Bluetooth Controller, Hall Effect Joystick Update, Compatible with Switch, PC, macOS, Android, Steam Deck & Raspberry Pi (Gray)

Wired connection is a bit confusing- I thought it wasn't working on my Linux system since I plugged in and nothing showed up, but reading the instructions it seems there are different ways to turn it on based on what system you are connecting to, start+X for windows mode and now it is working fine.Joysticks seem perfect, hope they really last as long as they say they do. Great dpad. Build quality overall feels a little cheaper than the wired version which is odd.. But its not bad at all. Can't comment on bluetooth as I have nothing to connect it to - just bought it for the better sticks (with moderate use, the sticks on the wired version are a total gamble if you will get 6 months, 1 year, 2 if you are really lucky before they start not coming back to full center)Wish they had these sticks on the wired one..I honestly should take a star off for the ridiculously short cable that it comes with - a whopping 40 inches - so if you plan to use this plugged in you better have a laptop or a really close PC. I had a spare c-cable lying around, but if not I'd have had to buy one. If they aren't going to sell wired with upgraded sticks they should give a decent length cable with this! But, the controller itself is great, so guess I'll leave it as is.

I love these little rascals. I carry these around in my Switch and Commodore 64 cases. They travel well, they're pretty durable even though I'm really hard on my gear.It takes me a couple of seconds to get these synced up to either my Switch or my C64 with a Bluetooth adapter (I use the Unijoystickle 2 adapter on the C64).I only have 2 complaints about these.#1. It doesn't wake up the Switch. Since I've had aftermarket controllers that can do it, why doesn't the SN30 pro? You'd think, once you told it to use Switch mode, it would just be able to do it. But NO. WHY?#2. I have to keep going through the whole process of selecting a mode and then the SYNC button every time I use it with the C64, which is just pairing up a generic Bluetooth. Why doesn't it just keep the pairing info from the last use? I don't have this problem when playing on the Unijoystickle with the Nintendo Pro Controller. I just wake it up and press the button on the C64 and it works.I love the D-Pad, I love the thumbsticks & the whole thing really. I play mostly 2-d games so this layout really serves me well, and I find that C64 games, both on the C64 and emulation on the Switch, play better with this than almost any C64 joystick.

Works great with my portable device (Anbernic RG35XXSP) giving me an arcade like experience when running MAME through my 24” monitor.

This controller works great for pc and for the Nintendo switch. I for sure purchased it because of its old school look that takes me back to my childhood days

Absolutely love this controller! Can be a little weird connecting it to some things but once you get the hang of it, it's easy. If it wasn't for that it would get 5 stars

This is a cool little SNES inspired controller. It's easy to connect via Bluetooth and works pretty well. The hall effect sensors on the thumb sticks should prevent stick drift over the long term. The buttons feel great, but the top RB/LB and RT/LT are a bit small if you have bigger hands. You can get used to it, but it's definitely more suited to daintier hands.Overall its a great controller and I'm happy with the purchase.

There's not a lot to say, these have been around for a while, and most people know about them, but I shoulda gotten one MUCH sooner because this is by far my favorite controller.I love the retro aesthetic and the fact that it's not some big heavy thing(not that other controllers are heavy themselves, but by comparison, at least the current xbox one is). And it's incredibly comfortable.And best of all it has hall effect sticks, which are supposed to be pretty much drift-proof, and it only costs $40.The only thing I can say that could be even remotely considered a complaint is the fact that you can't wake up a Nintendo Switch with it. It works on the console, but you have to boot it up and go into the "change grip order" thing every time you wanna use it. It's also a tiny bit disappointing that these used to come in color schemes/layouts that were almost exact clones of the controllers that obviously inspired them, and they no longer make those, for what are likely obvious reasons, but it's a shame...It also works for PC and Android.EDITThis is not a personal complaint, but it could be relevant information depending on what games you wanna play with this controller: The shoulder buttons are digital only, not analog. So if for some reason you really want this controller to play racing games with, and you need your shoulder buttons to work like a gas pedal, you're gonna need something else.

Been trying to find something that easily binds with a new iPad Pro. The PS5/PS4 controllers are quirky, and intermittent. This hooks up nicely and works just fine. Plus it’s small enough to travel with. Good buy
