    Great keyboard, not great quality assurance

    Keyboard is everything I wanted it to be. Functions exactly like advertised (even sounds exactly like the youtube video they posted). The issue I have with my purchase is the magnets in my super buttons and joy stick were installed backwards. My super buttons REPEL my joystick rather than binding to it. Pretty annoying to say the least and now I am out of best buys return window. Will sadly have to deal with this issue for many years to come. 8bitdo, please tell Shenzhen Onebitdo Tech Co to yell at whoever is on the assembly line putting the magnets in backwards.
