Is the switch version worth it?
Get an 8Bitdo controller. I had an SN30 Pro for 3 years and it was great for the price

My MCON Experience (Part 2) - still don't buy it.
I sold mine on eBay and am 100% happier using my 8bitdo SN30 Pro and GameSir x2s, and having the extra cash back in my pocket after how badly I was treated by MCON + OhSnap as a super early Kickstarter backer.

Pls help a Luddite mum: should I get a Nintendo brand or third party controller for my son’s Switch 2? TIA
You could buy Switch 1 controllers as they do work on the Switch 2. Still expensive but not as expensive as Joy Cons 2. If you want to go with a tighter budget and a more Super Nintendo aesthetic, there's the 8bitDo SN30 Pro

Is it worth it?
I sold mine. It was a decent controller, but I would never pay more than £50 for it. I was a super early Kickstarter backer and excited for it, but when it came it wasn't too comfortable (even compared to other small controllers) and the company is definitely one of the worst to deal with unless you

What do you use to play the game? Controller?
Used an 8Bitdo SN30 Pro for 3 years because it has a great d-pad for the price, switched to Hori Fighting Commander because it's also more comfortable in hand while still being pretty cheap

What's the print quality of the NeoGeo pad like?
The plastic quality of 8BitDo controllers is amazing for how much they cost. You can tell the plastic on the Ultimate 2C is a little cheaper than the Ultimate 2, but I think that's distinct to those two controllers. 8BitDo typically matches the feel of the plastic from the original controller. Their

What’s a better controller?
I've had an 8bitdo SN30 Pro Wired for about six years now, and a Pro 2 Wired for about 5. I used to use the SN30 on PC until I got the Pro 2 so that I could have R2/L2 as triggers instead of buttons for better throttle control in games with driving in them like State of Decay 2 and Snowrunner. I use

Hello! Any recommendations for budget wireless controllers?
i've been using an 8bitdo controller for mobile games and it's solid without breaking the bank. the sn30 pro works great with ipad and wuthering waves. connects via bluetooth with no lag. way cheaper than the console brand ones but still feels good in hand. perfect for gaming on the go

Apple Arcade version now has Grouping Mode!
My hands can get pretty sweaty which makes touchscreen gaming difficult. I went through a few smallish controllers for my iPad mini before finding one I really liked. 8BitDo Lite 2 - too small, felt like Switch joy cons, not ergonomic 8BitDo SN30 Pro - SNES controller shape, better than the Lite 2 b

This controller is GOATed
Absolutely not, lol. There are things to like about it for sure, but it's very overpriced, the dpad is mediocre, and it has limited functionality with digital triggers. I'm also not a fan of the texture on the handgrips. It seems nice at first but gets weird with use. You can get an 8bitdo controlle
