    8BitDo makes the best controllers! Comfortable, reliable, and compact. My husband and I have a pretty solid collection of them now. 10/10!

    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.

    Amazing! Was sacred by the vibration the first time I plugged it in. It also has 2 triggers on each side. The packaging doesnt really have any details. So because of that I was very happy and surprised. I have small hands so it was a perfect fit for me.

    Perfect for 8bit/SNES, maybe not 1st FPS choice

    The controller is great for anyone who grew up with SNES, or someone who wants a smaller form factor controller. The controller is mostly comfortable, with the exception of the shoulder triggers- the controller is quite thin. Overall, works great!

    I wanted an 8bitdo game controller than was wired to simplify the bluetooth connection process if I needed to. There are cheaper controllers, but 8bitdo controllers have been reliable. I like the controllers where the d-pad and the 4 buttons are on the same row and the two analog sticks are on the say row. I got this because it was fine for the switch and computer

    Didn't expect much from this controller. Needed something to play Particle Mace on my pc and it worked. Reminded me of the old SNES aesthetic. Ended also using it on my Switch for a few games.

    Bought this for $28 plus tax added a 6-ft long USB extension cord and been playing with it for over a year. Very good giving that retro feel and true to the gamer looking for a nostalgic experience. Great quality for the price and very capable

    I love this controller! i get SNES vibes while being able to play new games with it. Very universal! I have Big hands so after awhile they cramp up with this controller. I will accidently phat finger the bumper buttons since they are so close to each other, that is really my only complaint. If you have big hands, I would suggest the version with handles

    8bitdo controllers are top of the line among the third-party controller offerings. This one is great as it mimics the tried and true design of the old Super Nintendo style controllers.

    Great retro controller

    I really like the look and feel of this controller. Especially for playing the retro SNES and NES games on Nintendo switch online. My only complaint about this control is that it has an old USB plug. I wish it had usb C. I like to plug in my controls directly to my switch to play in table top mode and I have to carry an adapter to plug this directly to my switch. It’ll connect to the dock but I don’t use it for that. Other than that, this control feels great. The joysticks feel like PlayStation joysticks, the dpad is very nice and responsive and so are the buttons. All in all, I think this control is an excellent value. If you want a wired control at a great price than I recommend this to you
