    Have used it for the Switch and a bit on PC. It works very well and the custom inputs/settings you can do are exceptional well thought out. If there one little gripe o have is the weird clicking the movement stick does when you and holding it say to the left and then immediately move to the right (I am not doing it forcible fast/rough, it does it even when I take precaution), but alas, it is not annoying enough to make me not wanting to use the controller. Great controller for 2D type of games, especially retro!

    Love it so far for the Nintendo Switch. I was surprised how big it was (not insanely big) I was expecting a little mini controller but is very comparable to an old ps controller. Couldn't be happier. Defin recommend for a wireless option. Especially considering the joycons are 80+ tax.

    This is a great controller with a different feel than the normal switch pro controller. Great for most use cases. Great quality materials, dpad, triggers. Stick placement and tightness wasn’t right for me though.

    After receiving a Switch for Christmas, I’ve tried numerous different controllers, including a PowerA official controller, the Magic-NS 2 (should have made my Xbox controller work on it, but only did through USB), and one other I don’t remember the name of. The 8BitDo is only one that was easy to set up, comfortable to hold, and enough like an Xbox that it didn’t bother me. These are sturdy, comfortable, and beautiful controllers, the hardest choice was deciding which of the retro color schemes to buy! My only complaint is that I couldn’t getTurbo to work with the Switch, but not a huge deal.

    It’s good, but I have a hard time connecting to the switch. And there is a small lag. I’m not sure if I can compare it with anything but I do have input lag.
