8BitDo SN30 Pro Bluetooth Controller, Hall Effect Joystick Update, Compatible with Switch, Switch 2, PC, macOS, Android, Steam Deck & Raspberry Pi (Gray)

Great controller, very comfortable to hold and the buttons are nice and snappy. Analog sticks are very smooth. And it’s 8bitdo so the battery lasts for ages. There’s a case which I’d also recommend

Great little pad, which gaves the same feel as a SNES pad but with additional buttons and features, you can turn on an autofire feature, there are trigger buttons as well as shoulder buttons, however the trigger buttons are digital and not analogue. Having the hall sensors on the additional thumb sticks is a great feature though as it makes the hard wearing and more accurate with zero drift. The build quality of all 8bitdo products I've ever seen has been fantastic. This comes with a usb to usbc cable which you can use to connect the pad to your pc, mac or console, it charges it but can also be used to set up bluetooth for the pad on various platforms. I'm actually using it with a raspberry pi and it works great. I'm so pleased I bought this, couldn't recommend enough.

They are very good. I got used to how cramped they can be when it comes to the shoulder buttons but overall the controller is highly responsive.

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

Great quality and feel. Easy to set up. Bit nostalgic as it looks like the snes controller. I use mine connected to my iPhone. My 7 year old can easily use the controller.

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.

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.

Compatible with Switch, better than the Switch controllers for retro games.

Took a while to arrive, however, love this controller!

The base shape and size of this controller is modelled after the SNES controller. It has additional L and R buttons and two joy sticks giving it the same amount of buttons as a PS2+ and Xbox+ controllers. This should be able to play many of the classic or modern games with ease. The build quality is very good, it feels very good in the hands and very sturdy. There is software available that allows you to change the sensitivity of the sticks and shoulder buttons as well as remap the button layout if needed. Software supports both windows and mac. The controller was fairly easy to set up and it is now plug and play, connecting to my PC as soon as the controller turns on. The battery life is excellent. I've used it for several hours without needed a charge. One downside is that there seems to be no indication of low battery. It will just die. I went with the Hall Effect joysticks to avoid problems like stick drift. They feel great. The added button on the SNES shell can make the controller feel cramped at first, it does take some getting used to and if you have larger hands it might take you a while longer. The model I got has rumble which was a feature I did not remember seeing. Very pleasant surprise.

Excelente qualidade! Aparelho muito bem construído e me fez lembrar da minha infância, porém com tecnologia.

Unico pad utilizzabile con RetroArch e stick Amazon. Tutti gli altri (ne ho provati 4 tipi diversi) avevano problemi di configurazione. Costoso, probabilmente troppo confrontato ad altre soluzioni preconfigurate, ma realizzato con materiali di buona qualità.

Used this controller on my ipad air m2, fantastic experience. Really it has all you need, compact design, many buttons including shoulder buttons and so on. Recommended of course!
