8Bitdo SN30 Pro+ Blue Bluetooth Gamepad - for Switch, Windows, Android, MacOS, Steam, and Raspberry Pi (Classic Edition) Review

The specific controller I received from the seller was clearly used. I knew that before I bought it. Unfortunately, the battery that comes with the kit doesn't hold a charge, so you'll have to use regular batteries. There is also joystick drift which is very negligible. I know how to work so I can fix these things but I feel the seller acted disingenuously by not mentioning these issues. I'd just grab a new one if you're looking. They are worth the price for a fully featured model and this is a

This controller is amazing, better than the pro controller in my opinion. It looks like a Ps4 controller and is not as bulky as a pro controller. The build quality is first class. My only gripe is that it doesn't feel as smooth when I press the right analog stick. Maybe just mine, but I can tell the difference between right and left. Everything else works great and there are no complaints. I also use it with my PC. Only the hint is used with Steam, you need to go to the control options in Steam

Overall I'm very happy with this controller. It feels good in the hand, is a good weight, and works with almost anything. You can not ask for more. The reason I'm deducting a star is because the "mode" the controller uses (be it controller emulation for Switch, Xbox, etc.) is determined by holding either of the face buttons while the controller is on. They are not intuitive and are only described in the manual. I would have liked a dedicated selector switch or button on the back or something…

So I bought it on February 10th and heard many YouTubers say it's a great Switch controller. It was great for about a month and I've used it less than 10 times and stored it in the box. There is no solution for this. I keep reconnecting and it helps a little but in the end the problem persists. I love everything else, but if a controller affects my gameplay, it's not a very good controller. I'd probably spend the money on a Pro Controller if you don't use the D-Pad that much. I still want this…

Near Perfect Control. Feels great, best d-pad I've ever used (better than DS4, Xbox controller and every other controller I've tried). I've been looking for a controller with a good d-pad for playing retro games for a while and finally found it! It's totally worth the price, you won't regret your choice if you like games that use the d-pad. It can also be used as a regular Xbox controller and wirelessly via Bluetooth if you wish. Now I use it more than any of my other gaming controllers. Really

I like the Switch Pro Controller. But the D-Pad is terrible. And the right stick is a bit dodgy if you release it too quickly. It seems to turn you the other way. (Only in some games like Animal Crossing) the deadzone is probably too small. However, this third-party 8-bit controller does everything well! The D-Pad is precise and responsive, the analog stick behaves as expected, and the build quality is appealing. It is also very comfortable to hold. Modern games run just as well with this…

Edit - mine wouldn't load if the package was corrupted so I thought it was corrupted. Ordered a replacement and no charge. I feel stupid but it wasn't obvious. The batteries in both devices that I received were factory installed in reverse order. I have no idea why this is the case as I didn't undo it, assuming it could never be an issue since both were sent the same way. It was a problem. If you're having trouble charging, open the back and make sure the black side of the battery is facing you
