Customer Ratings & Reviews

Its so good for the proce. Im playing eldenring, tekken, and Emulators and loving this piece of hardware. I detest third-party hardware for the most part because companies will try to latch on to trusted names like Microsoft or Sony, and then sell you a controller that breaker, but this thing is decent. For the price I’m really amazed. It took about 20 minutes to get used to but now it’s like perfect. And if you have kids or you just have small hands, this is really good for that. Very satisfied.

Feel surprisingly comfortable and ergonomic. The small form factor makes it a perfect controller for younger kids like my own little brother. Comes in great handy.

This is an excellent controller for side scrollers, but not so much for 3D games, although I feel that’s the point. I primarily use it for Mega Man on my switch, and on steam. Works wonderfully, even 2 years later.

Solid controller. Feels good in the hands. Works for emulation. May have problems with A/B buttons but that may be do to the emulator. Joycons feel good but unsure about any stick drift.

Almost perfect, if they made a version with notches on the sticks I’d be a happy gamer

Great controller for multiplatform play! Worked on everything it said it would with flying colors. Great for emulation on PC as well. Controls feel great and I don't think it's wearing down anytime soon.

Gamepad feels comfortable in the hands and buttons, D-pad, and sticks are responsive. Great for retrogaming. It works fine when connected to a USB-C adapter (I use it with a Galaxy tablet).

Comfortable, plug ‘n’ play. Buttons feel great! 10

Perfect for SNES emulation, I love it for playing all the classic games on my pc!

Great feel and look. Gives me nostalgia from the SNES and is very much worth every penny. Some minor complaints with the design (just colors of buttons, etc.), and small issues with stick drift, but let's be honest, the JoyCons for the Nintendo Switch are far worse. I use this on my PC and Switch extensively to great effect. Would absolutely recommend!

I’ve been a pc player my whole life - as much as I LOVE playing on keyboard, sometimes a game is better with a controller. I have pretty small hands so any ps or Xbox controllers were a no for me (they’re far too big for me to comfortably hold) Enter the snes controller - it was perfectly small for me to hold and I can reach all the buttons! Now I can curl back in my chair and play video games :) For reference: my hands from palm to tip of my middle finger is 6 inches. My fingers average 2.4 inches long

This is my second 8bitdo wired gamepad and it’s obviously good enough to buy another. This is a bit different from my first one in that this has rubber buttons vs. plastic. That could have some implications on the longevity of this controller although I’d imagine that the buttons would last at least as long as the button mechanisms. If you want a good PC or Switch controller and don’t want to deal with batteries/Bluetooth this is a great pick.

Works great and requires no setup out of the box. I ended up using it for other games like warframe because the controller felt more natural in my hand. I bought two of these and they also do the player one and two bits naturally.

Perfect controller for playing pre-1995 games. Been looking for an old gamepad that basically works on everything, and this is it.

This is a great gamepad it feels like the old super nintendo gamepad. It works great for retro games. It works on Batocera, RetroArch, and other emulators on PC with no problems. The game pad have a "Turbo" button below the d-pad that can not be mapped and another small button below the B button that can be mapped for "hot-key". The turbo button works pretty good in games like for example snes Final Fight. If the "Y" button is selected to work on turbo mode which is the punch button in final fight if you keep it pressed it will throw punches as fast as possible while the Y button is pressed. If the Y button is not in turbo, for every punch you want to throw you have to press the button. I dont see any negatives in this pad. The only thing I wished was that best buy carries the same version of this pad but wireless at the their stores that way I don't have to order it thru the store and wait 3-5 for arrival. But this version "the wired version" is usually at stock at the local best buy.

I'm very picky on my controllers typically and this one fits just right for me. Responsive quality buttons and compact design really make me feel like I'm using a controller that costs much more. IGN 10/10

Mainly use this for my Analogue Pocket. This is about as close to a Official Nintendo controller. The buttons and d-pad are awesome and don't feel cheap. Virtually 0 lag since it's wired.

I use this for emulation of older retro games on pc. Works for switch games too, but you need to buy an extension usb cable as controller cable is WAY too short. My only complaints is the short length andi think it’s too expensive for a wired controller. Should be 19.99 Max due to the ridiculous cable length. Other than that, perfect for 2d old school games.

Feels Great. Built well. I use it on a windows based system, and I have no issues. Plug and play

Not a bad controller for the laptop, pretty responsive, I’m a fan. I have so far utilized it with a couple games and I like. My only adv warning is that you have to mentally note your remapping in accordance with a XBOX controller but the physical mapping is that of a switch so it can be confusing. But as a product it’s pretty solid piece of equipment.
