Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great controller with nice storage bag and keychain!

Even though it's sold by a third party, Aknes, not 8bitdo, I decided to give it a try. I mean, Revain is generally liked by customers in almost everything. At the time of purchase, Aknes was offering one of these 5% coupons in addition to a free bag and keychain, and premium same-day shipping. I received my item later that evening (around 6pm) and didn't even have a front door. fully enclosed as I immediately ripped apart the typically plain Revain shipping box. I found a nicely packaged soft case and box with an 8bitdo controller but no keychain. Thought it must be in the soft case, I ripped off the plastic and looked inside - still not a keychain, but I did notice decent padding, two mesh pockets, and a detachable wrist strap. Satisfied with the free bag, I turned my attention to the Sn30 Pro+ box in all its mint glory! I love opening the packaging, so I carefully removed the beautifully printed envelope and gently shook the slide off the top of the Sn30 box. I was surprised when I was greeted with a keychain along with the 8bitdo manual, software card and USB cable. I don't know what this new controller is, but it feels so good, the clean surface hasn't been soiled by greasy hands, dust and dirt accumulate. The first few seconds you look at the controller are mesmerizing as you feel every texture touch your skin, every button caress your fingers, crisp joysticks massage your thumbs; it's just a sensation. To put it simply, it's a slightly better buy than 8bitdo's - the controller itself is a work of art, although I don't care if it's better suited to PlayStation-style grips. Personally I would have preferred them to be a bit thinner, but they definitely do the job and outperform the previous SN/SF30 Pro controller - no more fumbling with flimsy L1/R1 buttons or small bandages after hours of use. The halves of the controller skin you. If you're looking to upgrade your previous controller that can do it all (Android, Windows, Switch, RetroPie, Mac, etc.) then this is for you, and if you're looking for your first controller that can do all of those things with absolute ease done, then again . This is for you.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Annoying
