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

This is basically a name brand controller, if not better.
Ok, so this is a day 1 review, but thats also part of it…TL;DR version: Well made, performs on par or better than “OEM” or name brand controllers; just buy it, 100% worth it. See pic with origional PS2 controller for size comparison1) Shipping: i ordered this yesterday Dec. 7th 2023. It arrived Dec.8th 2023. Thats amazing and automatically gave it 3 stars.2) Feel: This feels like a premium, “name brand” controller. The plastic casing feels sturdy and well made yet somehow retaining that good ol’ nostalgic feel of the old controlers/cases us late 80s earyl 90s kids remember very well. All the buttons feel amazing; d-pad, ABXY, start/select, Ls/Rs, even the joysticks are nice and crisp. Virtually no button rattle either which to me never matters as lokg as it performs perfect but i know some people HATE button rattle and i personally cant hear any. The size is perfect, at least for me and i have around medium sized hands. Feels right in the hands.3) Performance: So far im writting this review about 30min after delivery so i cant speak much there yet but i have tried it on my phone via bluetooth with some old PS1 games and theres virtually no detectable lag/latency between the controller and the game, you press the button the action happens. For comparison I recently modded my phat model PS2 to use a HDD and it has input lag, this seemingly doesnt from what i can tell. Havent used it anywhere else yet as i havemt setup anything else as i primarly wanted this to use with emulators. Cant yet speak on battery life but will update review after ive used it moreIf anythinf changes i will update my review as needed or after ive had the controller a little bit longer but initial impressions are so good im likely going to buy both the green version and OG version as well. If they made one in a clear blue id buy it day 1 without hesitation.

Perfect!
I love this controller! 8Bitdo nailed the design on this – compact and stylish but still packing every standard modern controller amenity if needed. The D-pad, joysticks, and buttons all feel great. The body is lightweight but solid. It’s perfect for all sorts of retro, emulator, casual, and mobile games. If you truly need every single button for a modern, control-heavy game then this form factor is going to feel cramped. But that’s not the intended use case here – get a full-size controller for that.These aren’t cheap controllers compared to other offerings out there, but they’re so much nicer. I’ve bought two so far for the emulation system I’m setting up and I’ll probably buy two more for a complete, consistent set.Update: I’ve since bought several more of these for my emulators and have been using them regularly for the last year or so now. They’re still fantastic. However, there’s persistent criticism of these SN30’s in the retrogaming community about “ghost inputs” on the D-Pad (usually unintended diagonals). There have even been well-publicized hardware hacks involving taping off internals. I’ve tested this thoroughly and I just don’t see any evidence of a problem at all. Maybe I’m just lucky? Or more likely, maybe there have been manufacturing improvements over the years and those reports are based on older samples. All five of the SN30’s I own work identically and perfectly. These are fantastic controllers.

Funciona com diversos emuladores, dos mais antigos aos mais atuais, boa resposta nos comandos, o delay existe, mas é quase imperceptível, uma boa compra no geral.

J’adore la couleur verte transparente.Parfaitement compatible avec ma Switch et ma tablette en BT.Les boutons sont agréables et réactifs.Fonctionne aussi avec d’autres consoles mais je n’ai pas d’expérience avec cela.J’avais déjà la version grise qui est tout aussi bonne.
