8Bitdo Micro Bluetooth Gamepad Pocket-sized Mini Controller for Switch, Android, and Raspberry Pi, Supports Keyboard Mode (Blue)

Excellent size, good battery life, and seems durable. I use this for reviewing Anki cards while on a treadmill or stationary bike, or otherwise when I just don't want to be tapping on my phone for an hour, and it works perfectly. I haven't actually used this for gaming, I anticipate it might be a bit on the small side to use comfortably with both hands. But for my purposes, it's the perfect size. USB-C, thankfully. Fits in a tiny compartment in my backpack, and for $20, you could have multiple of these for various purposes if you wanted. Pairing is easy, too. If you're looking to use it as an Anki controller for iOS, make sure it is set to "S" mode on the bottom option selector. I don't know if that's also the case for Android or Windows unfortunately.

When I travel, I often bring my Steam Deck, and sometimes it's nice to have bring a controller. But obviously space in bags and luggage tends to be at a premium on travel, so hauling around a bulky, hefty console controller isn't ideal. So I picked up the 8BitDo Micro. It works great! And it's called a "Micro" for a reason! It weighs barely anything and it can literally fit in the palm of a single hand, it's that tiny. It's even smaller, width-wise than a Switch JoyCon. If you have bigger hands, that might be something to consider. I'm a smaller person, with smaller hands, so it doesn't bother me so much using this tiny controller. But if it does, 8BitDo has larger-but-still-small controllers. Strongly recommend taking a look at other buyer's pictures to really get a sense of the size. Either way, it's better than having no controller. Pairing was a little confusing, since there are a few different ways to pair, depending on what device you're using (Nintendo Switch vs an Android device, for example) so make sure to read the included manual. But once it's paired, you don't have to worry about that anymore. Battery life is excellent. You can go hours and hours on it, before the need to charge via USB-C cable. Obviously there are no analog sticks. There are also no L3/R3 buttons. If the games you play need those, consider using a different controller like the 8BitDo Lite 2. But otherwise, it has all the rest of the standard buttons, including L1 & L2 and R1 & R2. It does have the Nintendo button layout by default. I prefer the Playstation/Xbox button layouts, so I remapped that on my Steam Deck. Not sure how that works on other devices (phones, tablets, etc). It comes with a little silicone wrist strap and a really short USB-C-to-USB-A charging cable (any cable with USB-C on at least one end should work with it). Again, it's a great little controller for gaming on the go. I might even try pairing it with my phone one of these days and seeing if I can use it with the Steam Link app.

I got this controller for a trip where I was going to be taking multiple flights. I planned on playing retro games on my phone using RetroArch. Despite the product pictures, I was still surprised how small it was when I opened it up: it's adorable! Though it is tiny in the hand, it's still comfortable to play most games for long periods of time, and I didn't feel like I was ever at risk of pressing the wrong button due to the size. The D-pad "feels" about the same size as the d-pad on my old Gameboy Pocket - which I like. The shoulder buttons are noisier than the face buttons, which could an issue if you're trying to play quietly. They make a distinct 'click' sound when pressed down and when released. Though on an airplane, the clicking noise didn't seem that noticeable. The controller has 3 modes which are selected by a small switch on the bottom (the side that faces towards you when holding the controller during a game): Nintendo Switch mode, gamepad mode, and keyboard mode. Gamepad mode is just that: When the controller is connected to a phone or computer it registers as a gamepad. In Keyboard mode, the gamepad registers as a keyboard - which means that you can map just about any of the buttons (including the D-pad directions) to any key (or combination of keys) you want. This means that the 8bitdo can be used as a "macropad" of sorts for other applications - which was an unexpected, added value. You can create multiple button layouts for the 8bitdo using the free"8bitdo Ultimate Software" mobile app. Despite the bizarre choice of name, it's a fine little app. It would be nice if there While connecting the controller via Bluetooth was easy, I noticed a good amount of input latency in retroarch games. I'm using a Galaxy S22 Ultra and playing Super Nintendo games, it was impossible to do wall-jumps in Super Metroid with any kind of consistency. When the controller was connected by USB-C, there was virtually no latency. In my research, it seems that Bluetooth controller support is just... not that great on Android - which was a disappointment but not a deal breaker. I just play action games with the controller connected by USB-C. Battery life on the controller is very good to excellent for its size. Though I did sometimes accidentally have the controller activate in my pocket when the power button was inadvertently pressed. Never resulted in a dead controller, but something I had to be careful of. Overall this is a great *little* controller, and is now part of my essential travel kit.

Use it in my esp32 microcontroller projects and its perfect! Nice and compact to lay around on the desktop without adding noise but connects in a second and works as intended. I use the Bluepad32 library and this controller will only work with esp32 flavors of my chips and does not function with my esp32-s3. I cannot get a confirm from 8bitdo but this would suggests it only supports the BR/EDR protocol and I am unable to find a mode to support BLE connections. The 4star is because despite an attempt to reach out to find out in advance, I did not ever get a reply and had to experiment with a purchase. I love it for what it does but I still need the BLE controller I was originally asking them to help me find - they do have them and yet I am faced with yet another experimental purchase in hopes of getting one. Still no response, but yet still no further purchases as well.

chegou bem antes do prazo e em perfeitas condições

I tried to hold it vertically and use the arrows to navigate wsad on my left hand and use mouse in my right hand. Basically I just wanted to test if my left thumb is only used for movements working or not. And surprisingly it worked. You can customise keys very easy with the app. Connection very steady and easy. I hope in the newer versions they replace the arrow keys with a joystick kind of.

This is the perfect controller to have for Anki. For starters, at the bottom of the controller you can essentially create 3 different Bluetooth profiles. I have one for my PC, one for my MacBook, and the other for my Surface Pro tablet. It charges USB-C. It has a plethora of buttons to be mapped using joy2key for PC and karabiner elements for Mac. 12 hour battery life. Super portable and small for travel, yet the buttons are firm - not a flimsy remote at all. Anki is more of a game than it's ever been thanks to this solid remote.

Used for digital drawing on procreate and sketchbook. its so lovely to use, its small enough to hold in one hand and use, in turn it gives you freedom to just have your hand anywhere that feels comfortable. Make sure you connect it to Bluetooth on your chosen device by pairing it, a lot of people got confused by being able to sync a preset without pairing it then thinking they can use it straight away, i got caught doing that. I created presets on the controller menu, it synched but then couldn't figure out why it didn't work on sketchbook afterwards, dont forget to pair it via Bluetooth. It works amazingly, buttons are clicky and responsive, no lag to worry about, its pretty much instant. I dont use it as a gaming controller and wouldn't its far to small for that, but as a tool for digital drawing its simply amazing and far cheaper than huion or other "made" for that purpose hand keyboard. Dor precision zooming i alway use my fingers. Its cheap, great quality, not heavy at all, comfortable for most, its responsive and tge battery last a decent amount but do which it was a bit longer, sometimes when deep into drawing i forget to charge and can be caught by a dead controller BUT it can be plugged in and used at the same time.

Amazing device and have huge multuse , you can reprogram all the keys using an offical app and later used it as shortcut keyboard for your windows computer.
