Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed a controller for the kids to use with the RasberryPi, this works perfectly. Was easy to connect and the battery last for days. Previously bought something cheaper from Amazon and the kids had nothing but problems. These were more expensive but work great.

This is my favorite off brand controller. Great button reaponses, wonderful d pad and the switch in bottom to change between uses is wonderful. Leaps and bounds better than preivious model.

I bought this 8bitdo controller because I love playing music rhythm games. On the switch, MOST controllers have the D-pad offset, making it awkward to play. After-all, most rhythm games play like DJmax and require the D-pad much like a playstation controller layout. This controller does the trick for that. The only reason I dock a star is because this controller is unable to wake the nintendo switch. 8bitdo has other controllers can wake the switch (such as the ultimate), so I don't see why they can't update these controllers to be able to accomplish the same. It's not a huge dealbreaker for me, but please be aware of this quirk. You either need to wake the switch with another controller, or walk up to the console and hit the power button before you head over to your couch. For me, I keep the controller charging peripheral on the media stand with the switch anyway, so it's not a huge problem. Just sucks for certain setups, especially if you keep a dust cover over the console.

A great Controller for the price and doesn't feel cheap like others in its market

One of the best controllers I've evere bought, after buying this one i had to go back for the lite and the 8bitdo ultimate. Theyre good controllers with alot of functions, plus the compatibility over multiple devices and the ability to edit keybinds whenever with the app is useful!

This is a great control. You can apparently “register” it and switch between a few devices which is cool. It reminds me of a PlayStation controller. The build feels premium and fits great in the hand. It has a good weight to it but nothing that would make you tired from holding it for long periods of time. I’m glad I went with this option as opposed to one of the Switch pro controllers.

The 8bitdo is the best PC game controller for most players, as it just simply works. With wired, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, it can connect to just about every gaming device in your home; with a comfortable, ergonomic grip, you can hold it for hours at a time.

very happy with purchase easy to sync with my system and well constructed

I got an incredible price for this as a Deal of the Day. The first sign of a problem was when I hooked it up to my computer with the provided usb cable. It appeared to be charging, but the gamepad was not seen by my computer. I turned on bluetooth and it was seen. I made repeated attempts to play Forza Horizon 4 - but it would disconnect in just a few seconds. After digging through many user reviews I found several users with the same problem, that was solved by updating the firmware of the gamepad. I found the website with the updates, and making the update was actually pretty easy. With that done I was able to play Forza Horizon 4 using bluetooth without disconnecting. I then tried playing using a usb cable, but one that I had on hand and knew was good. This time the gamepad immediately connected with my computer, which properly identified the gamepad. I have deducted one star for the bluetooth connection problem. It would have been helpful if a card had been provided mentioning a possible need to update the firmware, and pointing to instructions on how to do it. I deducted another star for what appears to be a defective usb cable. Luckily I had one of my own on hand. I recommend this gamepad if you can get a considerable discount on it.

Fantastic SNES design controller, with modern conveniences and comforts too! The controller is about as comfortable as a DualShock 4, with the quality of a 1st party controller too! I would honestly rate this controller on par with my Nintendo Switch Pro controller.

I previously owned the SN30 Pro+ and this Pro2 is an improvement in a few ways. The profile switcher button in the middle is useful when I'm playing games with different settings where I need certain buttons. There's additional "bumper" buttons on the back you can probably use for macros or some other function. I forget if there were input sliders on the SN30 Pro+ but for the Pro2 there's a button slider for Xinput, DirectInput, Switch, etc if you need to use it for some reason. My only concern is that the analog sticks might be made of the same rubber (?) material that the SN30 Pro+ had which eventually started to wear out and flake off.

8BitDo makes great controllers, and this is another yet one.

Perfectly paired with my raspberry pi. Easy to setup and feels comfortable.

These controllers are awesome build quality is great

Great product, feels solid! Would highly recommend.

This controller is an absolute dream! It gives an excellent grip/feel at a very reasonable cost. I've used this paired to a PC, a Raspberry Pi, and a Nintendo Switch, and it's been rock solid with each platform. It's especially good for retro gaming with its d-pad and analog stick layout.

High quality controller with a good feel. Swap systems easily.

Had their SN30 previously and this version is a definite upgrade. Works well with everything Ihave tested, iMac, macbook, ipad, nintendo switch.

I own two now. Works with all systems. Great for retro games.

Its nice to have something that works on my pc, switch and even with other 8bit do products. Built quality is very nice, i wish this controller had gyro though
