Customer Ratings & Reviews

- i've used it consistently for most of a year - good battery life - different feeling from other controllers but u definitely get used to it - every control has some resistance so it feels satusfying to press - ur hands don't get sweaty - the grey is kinda lame - no vibration on android or windows as far as i can tell - motion controls are great on windows - comes with a good cord (but not long) - the analog sticks' click feels great - you can put it in a bag and it won't turn on very often - the start and select and sticks are rubbery, everything else is plastic - the zr and zl aren't intended to be analog - it's great to fit in a pocket - i've dripped it numerous times with no damage - if you're using android the controls should show up right (except a and b might be swapped)

I honestly really love the product but I've been using it for the past 2 1/2 weeks and I've been noticing some lag between the connection and the device it hasn't happened before and I've charged the controller fully twice. So I'm gonna try completely charging it one more time to see if that is the issue but if it's not, it might be over. it kinda sucks that i have to pay an extra $10 to get insurance in case it stops working within 5 months. i hope this little guys holds out

Solid controller. Pairs easily. Good battery life so far. Wish the trigger buttons were analog as opposed to just clickable but aside from that, works great.

Connected to my PC and Switch flawlessly, took less than 2 seconds to connect. No input lag and feels great in the hand. It's a very nostalgic controller and looks great. Reading the manual is a must to understand this controller.

Nice color. Need to update the software for the controller so that it can connect to Switch 2.

8BitDo did a fantastic job with small and yet satisfying on the go game control. I am able tk enjoy a bit of game time during my lunch or break at work with iPad mini. The design is very much like my ps1 controller so nothing feels out of place. Just a nice simple controller with lots of fun!

The controller is very good and portable The only downside is you have to remember the exact buttons to press to be able to connect to the different platforms Works on switch 2 but only if yoy do a firmware update

The design is really cool, and it connected to my system immediately, without any trouble. That being said, it feels a lot like cheap plastic and one of the control sticks wore out after only about a week, so I won't be repurchasing one.

I love this controller. I had an 8bitdo Pro (the one with protruding handles) in the past that I really enjoyed, but unfortunately it developed stick-drift. these new controllers have the "hall-effect" joysticks (which use magnetic force instead of friction) and should be immune from stick drift. This style is perfect for travel or taking to a friend's house. I like using it for retro games and emulation as well. Even the color ways are great!

Isn't quite the same SNES feel. I missed that X and Y buttons aren't concave, and Y not being concave is a problem. Right thumb rubs against right stick when you hit Y. Sticks are almost flat so you have to let go and reposition your thumb on the stick or put you thumb on the side of the stick, but that's harder to control, and you can only press one direction if you resort to that... I bought a dongle to use it so the cost to use the controller was high. Stick drift happened within 10 mins of use. Neither recycling the controller or relaunching the game fixed it. Strict 14 day return policy... Customer service is in India and they hand you off to various phone numbers like Sony (it's not a Sony product). Eventually they admitted a 1 year warranty, but your only option is email tag with China with a high amount of runaround requirements. The stick drift comes and goes apparently so... Idk. Pros: it connects, but idk if that's a pro of the controller or the dongle.

Nice color. Needs software update in order to connect with Switch 2.

This thing fits your hands better than you might think. Prefer it for faster, simpler gameplay.

Very nice controller for the price. I love the feel of this product. It is very comfortable and instantly took me back to my childhood upon use. I use this controller for every game that i prefer to play with a controller.

This is my 2nd one in 5 years (I play several hours EVERY day. Excellent product.

It works really well on PC and ROG Ally or Steamdeck

Used for bluetooth connectivity to a Retroid pocket 5 in docked mode, awesome and no input delay either!

Really good.you can buy because it is the best controle

Works well, feels good. Mine doesn't have any issues.

Nice little controller, light weight and easy to set up. Pretty responsive. Works well with Steam Deck.

If you're looking for the best feeling retro game experience, this is it. I grew up with an SNES so this is the controller I choose when I'm playing Retroarch emulation games.
