I got this as a replacement for my old Xbox controller I was using for my pc. I had broken the d-pad by playing old SNES games and when I saw this at the store. I had to give it a go. I'm about 3 days into using it. So far it has worked BETTER than I could have hoped. This is one of the highest quality controllers I have ever had my hands on. Plus it's wireless. How it feels; I would say it's similar to a PlayStation controller, as far as feel and weight goes. But there is something about the buttons that just, runs it home for me. I think it's that (like the original SNES controller) the B and A buttons are flat, while the Y and x are very lightly concave. Maybe it's the nostalgia talking but it feels so "right" to use this. Bonus, the select and start buttons feel like the originals as well! I will also say for people with smaller hands, I think you will still be able to use it just fine. I'm a woman, and I had no issues reaching any of the buttons. Bluetooth; Something I wanted to address in my review is the Bluetooth connection and input delay. I see that few people seem to have a delay. I have had no such issue. I've even been able to do frame perfect jumps and clips with this controller with no issue (well other than my lack of skill) I would say if you are having delay issues, check your Bluetooth connection, or swap the controller out for a new one, as no matter the product. Defective units will sometimes happen. I am even using a super cheap insignia Bluetooth USB, and it still works perfectly. Compatibility; As for compatibility, I've had no issues with just picking it up and playing it with my emulators or steam, and non-listen programs have even been able to use it (think Epic games, and such) I've tested out a few games just for this review, and I have yet to find one that requires you to do anything more than moving "keyboard and mouse" option to "controller". In conclusion. I'm a super picky person, I very quickly can pick out things I like and don't from just about any product. Most of the time, when I get something like this. I think of what brand I'll try next because I am rarely ever 100% happy with a product. So I keep searching for the unicorns that work perfectly for me. I found my unicorn with this controller. I hope BestBuy gets the other colors in stock. Ps. I saw no one had pictures with them holding it. Thought that it might help someone to see how the hold looks.

I really like this controller. I've got it synced with my laptop, switch, and tablet, and it's easy to switch between them. I've been playing a lot recently and the battery lasts a pretty long time. It was a little bigger than I was expecting. Compared to an xbox one controller it feels a little wider. If you're someone with smaller hands, it may be a little uncomfortable. And if you do play a lot of xbox you can remap the buttons using the 8bitdo software so that when you play on switch the A and B buttons are where they would be on an xbox controller. It's a solid controller. If you're looking, this is a great one to pick up.

Was doing my best to get a DS4 up and running on my PC to avoid using a 360 controller *wretches*, but the Bluetooth connection was spotty, and so was my USB connection. Grabbed this on sale, put some batteries in it, ran the software package from the website, got the buttons running PS4 style via XINPUT to get me all set. Now anything I don't use MNK for sees the 8-BitDo step in and handle. Definitely recommended to those looking for a DS4 alternative and wanting to avoid the asymmetrical nightmare that is the XBOX controller. Last note, this controller is slightly larger around the shoulder buttons area than the DS4. But a little playtime can see you getting used to it. Enjoy!
