Such an amazing controller
Just got mine, and have used RetroArch quite a lot to test it out, and man... Wow. What a controller. Great video. Cheers for now!

My Steamlink reads mine as an Xbox 360 controller! Still works flawlessly. Wonderful controller!

It's surprising how well the ergonomic work. It's a great modern twist on the classic SNES controller design.

It has this sloped construction which makes sit very nicely in the hand, you can see that someone has put some effort into thinking about it. The colours are cool too you get both a playstation look super Nintendo look and super Famicom and Gameboy look with cool red purple buttons.

It's expensive yes but your paying for quality and that's exactly what your getting.

i would still recommend getting the 8bitdo pro 2 instead of an xbox or playstation controller if you want something with grips

Question: Does it work on Nintendo Switch? If not, do you know of an inexpensive wired Switch controller that works well and lasts?
I want a good wired controller for playing my Switch on my TV. Mostly the Metal Gear collection, Final Fantasy collection, Disgaea, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, etc.

It's a great controller. I use it on my iPad and fire stick daily!

[Smexideath]

Would you recommend it for 3D platformers? Where you have to use the joysticks more but not have to move them around as intensely as a FPS game

[hikikomori]

Picked up the wired + bluetooth version of this controller based on the retro look that reminded me of og snes. After almost one year of (ab)use my main issue is slight joystick drift on the left thumbstick (wish they used hall sensor but that would've bumped up the price). Other than that it's fine and as you said in your review worked great for side scrolling / platforming games.

Ps1 colorway actually. They don't sell the snes colorway anymore I think. I have the pro 2 with the ps1 colorway and my dad even said it looks loek a ps1 controller. Debating on getting the sn30 pro in the gb classic colorway for dedicated retro 2d games.

I just bought a wired 8bitdo SN30 controller. My RP4 Retropie recognizes the controller and I can use it in the menu and start games. But in-game, the controller does nothing. Any idea how I can solve it?

I've been thinking of getting one of these and making my friends get one, we do a lot of couch gaming, and with one of us eyeing the Steam Deck we're foreseeing that deck going around whenever we do a get together to play (We'll plug it to a TV of course) and play things like overcooked and Towerfall Ascension, and these tiny, portable controllers sure will be ideal to carry around.

Are hand comfy to play an hours in emulator aps game like, ppsspp, ps2, gamecube game ?

[MichaelScreamMachineEvans]

Just broke my NES30 pro and ordered one of these in the G classic color...there's only 4 colors .... purple Green the grey and the G classic.... its pretty comfortable because i have small hands the thumbsticks have more space compared to the previous model its great and a must have

[TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi I just bought something called a Super Console X Pro so I can play and re-live those early years of my life playing SNES games. Wanting to upgrade the pads that come with the device and thinking about the SN30. Do you know if this will work with the device I bought?

[pumpkinbricks]

im thinking of buying the regular 8bitdo SN30 because ive had a great experience with 8bitdo but im wondering if it can be connected to the switch for the SNES and NES library for example

[Wil_Dsense]

I just discovered this SN30 pro has giro/motion controls because I was playing Cruis n’ blast on switch, and noticed it was steering when I tilted it. But I don’t want it to be doing it for that game. Is there a way to deactivate motion controls? Surely there must be a way?

[Nik]

Guys, someone knows if an iPad could connect with 2 controls at same time? Thanks a lot 🙏🏻

[devincurrie]

Looks good. Would have been great if you've mentioned about the ability to replace the built in lithium battery after a couple years.

[TheRubsi]

Just ordererd this to give it to my friend i hope he is at least half as excited about it as you are :)

[jincen]

I have the wired version in retroarch it is detected as xinput controller why ?
