8BitdoSN30 PRO Bluetooth Game Controller, Hall Effect Joystick Update, Wireless Gamepad Compatible with PC Windows, Android, PC macOS, Steam Deck, Raspberry Pi (Grey Edition)

If you are into retro gaming, running emulators or just want a slightly more retro feel controller then this is a near essential purchase.The build quailty is solid. The plastic has a high quality feel and there is no rattle or flex in the controller. All buttons have a nice feel and response, and the analogue thumbsticks are PS4/Switch in feel without being too loose and enough resistance.Button, thumbstick and D Pad layout is very nice; pretty much a cross between a SNES and PS4 controller. It also has built in rumble too.Connecting the controller is easy using its built in Bluetooth. I've so far tried it on a PC with bluetooth built in, on a Samsung S20 phone and on a Raspberry Pi 4 runninf RetroPi. It connected fine with all these devices.The includes manual is short but actually very useful as ir details how to connect it, by putting the controller into pairing mode, and also changing it between controller protocols.. so you can put it into Switch mode to directly recognise and use it with a Nintendo Switch, or you can put it into D or X modes which are supported by most other systems and devices. So connecting and support is very well covered.Mapped buttons is easy in both Windows and for software such as RetroArch.Highly recommended. And don't be put off by the fairly high price. You definitely get what you pay for. Cheap usb controllers are cheap for a reason. You are getting a very well built, wireless Bluetooth, high quality product on par with the build quailty of products from companies such as Sony or Nintendo.Also consider you can also connect these controllers to almost any system even without Bluetooth by using an optional extra 8BitDo dongle.

Growing up on SNES I needed this once I finally purchased a switch and considering the price of nintendo's pro controller this was a no brainer.Okay the rumble isn't as serious as nintendo's but this has rumble, motion controls and the analog sticks are perfect.If you have a PS4 the sticks with feel very familiar and the layout is the same as the PS4, Xbox users may need to get used to this however.It holds all the nostalgia and feels exactly like a SNES controller, it is exactly the same size as the classic controller but slightly thicker at the top due to the insides and this actually helps with gripping it. The buttons feel just like how I remember the classic feeling but the sticks are like my PS4 controllers, which I think are great quality sticks.I was worried my hands would be too big to hold this but it feels perfect to hold and have put in 5 hours of BOTW as soon as I got this out the box and loved every minute.As I said it has rumble and motion controls so works with all games. Also some people have mentioned they need to update the software before using it. Mine worked with my switch straight out the box and an important thing for me is this will work wirelessly as it's intended but also work wired too whilst it charges.I cannot recommend this controller enough, 5* all the way!

So..........I wanted a wireless controller for my Switch and SNES Classic, so bought this one and i must say im massively impressed with this controller!Pairing it with my Switch was very simple and within 2 minutes, i was having a blast on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyseyy. Even playing the NES games available to Switch Online subscribers was a complete doddle!.I also bought the wireless reciever for the SNES Classic and again it paired up easily with the SF30 Pro Controller. Its a dream come true with this controller!Very much like an official SNES controller, there is virtually no difference in performance on the controller. Buttons are very solid and there is 0% input lag. Even the two analogue sticks are very responsive and there are virtually no deadzones on either of them. As for the Shoulder buttons, they are very cleverly placed to perfection and they are very responsive aswell. I will also say that the D-Pad is awesome in everyway!If you want a comfy and very responsive controller, i 100% recommend it to anyone. I mean its about £30 cheaper than the Pro Controller for the Switch and the SF30 Pro Controller does the exact same job (only better imo). This also includes having a rechargeable battery built in. Highly recommended people. You wont regret it!
