My Steamlink reads mine as an Xbox 360 controller! Still works flawlessly. Wonderful controller!

Such an amazing controller Just got mine, and have used RetroArch quite a lot to test it out, and man... Wow. What a controller. Great video. Cheers for now!

I've been thinking of getting one of these and making my friends get one, we do a lot of couch gaming, and with one of us eyeing the Steam Deck we're foreseeing that deck going around whenever we do a get together to play (We'll plug it to a TV of course) and play things like overcooked and Towerfall Ascension, and these tiny, portable controllers sure will be ideal to carry around.

Picked up the wired + bluetooth version of this controller based on the retro look that reminded me of og snes. After almost one year of (ab)use my main issue is slight joystick drift on the left thumbstick (wish they used hall sensor but that would've bumped up the price). Other than that it's fine and as you said in your review worked great for side scrolling / platforming games.

It's a great controller. I use it on my iPad and fire stick daily!

It's surprising how well the ergonomic work. It's a great modern twist on the classic SNES controller design. It has this sloped construction which makes sit very nicely in the hand, you can see that someone has put some effort into thinking about it. The colours are cool too you get both a playstation look super Nintendo look and super Famicom and Gameboy look with cool red purple buttons. It's expensive yes but your paying for quality and that's exactly what your getting.

Really informative

Just broke my NES30 pro and ordered one of these in the G classic color...there's only 4 colors .... purple Green the grey and the G classic.... its pretty comfortable because i have small hands the thumbsticks have more space compared to the previous model its great and a must have

Hi I just bought something called a Super Console X Pro so I can play and re-live those early years of my life playing SNES games. Wanting to upgrade the pads that come with the device and thinking about the SN30. Do you know if this will work with the device I bought?

Just ordererd this to give it to my friend i hope he is at least half as excited about it as you are :)

Are hand comfy to play an hours in emulator aps game like ,ppsspp ,ps2 , gamecube game ?

Looks good. Would have been great if you've mentioned about the ability to replace the built in lithium battery after a couple years.

What’s your iPad stand ?

The start button doesn’t work with any android retroarch emulator. Every other button works perfectly but the start button. Any suggestions??

Does it work good with MZ64 plus emulator? I've got the SN30 pro+ but it's not working all the way ok

Is this controller compatible with the Retron 5?

I just discovered this SN30 pro has giro/motion controls because I was playing Cruis n’ blast on switch, and noticed it was steering when I tilted it. But I don’t want it to be doing it for that game. Is there a way to deactivate motion controls? Surely there must be a way?

Can you use this controller on N64 games or no

Hello! I recently bought a bulutus 8bitdo sn30 pro gamepad but I don't know how to activate the gerescope how do I activate the gerescope? please help thank you.

Does this work on the snes mini? I have it modded with all snes,N64 games

i would still recommend getting the 8bitdo pro 2 instead of an xbox or playstation controller if you want something with grips

I love your videos IDM :)

So you have it all nintendo games in the contoller

Can this controller work with my Wii? I have a lot of old school games on my Wii

Ps1 colorway actually. They don't sell the snes colorway anymore I think. I have the pro 2 with the ps1 colorway and my dad even said it looks loek a ps1 controller. Debating on getting the sn30 pro in the gb classic colorway for dedicated retro 2d games.

Can you pair two controllers to play with a buddy?

I wonder if you can connect it to an anbernic rg353m

Since its bt connected, Does it have any lag ?

I have the wired version in retroarch it is detected as xinput controller why ?

Is this controller only for Nintendo or can it be used for SEGA via emu?

Good for Bloodstained Ritual?

What intro music are you using?

15.2 got unsigned update on jailbreak when?

This controller is good for any game that is 2d and doesn't need full analouge controls all the time, like fighting games shmups and platformers.

Is this device good for playing COD Mobile and Genshin Impact ? This device looks good

Is this controller good for Super Smash Ultimate ?

Thoughts on this versus the Lite 2? Can't decide between this or that. I play 2d platformers, Racing games, and some 3D ones. Mario, Need for speed, and animal crossing are good examples.

Guys, someone knows if an iPad could connect with 2 controls at same time? Thanks a lot 🙏🏻

I own both the sn30 pro and the pro 2 and the pro 2 is far better for fps games but the sn30 pro just feels right for retro games D pad centric of course even though you have the analog sticks.. Also you went with the super famicon color way. The snes controller had purple but tone with x and y being concave (2 different shades of purple) the one I got has red(maroon) buttons I felt the concave buttons would have been uncomfortable tbh with my hands being bigger from the almost 30 year difference in my age from when I played my original snes back in the day.. Awesome video cheers

aren't the shoulder buttons kinda small? especially the upper ones? is that not going to effect games like lets say super metroid?

Will this work on an Xbox x?

Hi, I’m looking for a controller to play old games like Tetris and Super Mario Bros on my iPad…would you still say this is the best controller for that? And if so, where do you buy it in the UK? And also do you have a link to a tutorial where you show how to get the app and the old games? Thank you 🙏🏼

To much lag as well with with this controller, don't use this on Nintendo Switch unless you get a wired version or 2.4 ghz Bluetooth version with dongle. Some reason it works way better for emulation on Android no problems wireless.

Can you update the controller on the switch?

I got one after watching this 😀

It's retro ARCH, not retro arc :) Great review, I'm seriously considering picking one of these up!

There’s this other genre called fighting games.

Coming from a 2DSXL, the Dpad is underwhelming and shit. I wouldn't recommend it outside of turn-based games, which is what I bought it for anyways Too rubbery, center can be pushed down a bit, and holding Left/Right and going to press up/down has no click--personally for me that's VERY bad for fighting games The 2DSXL dpad is the best possible Dpad and it's unfortunate nobody else can or will take inspiration from it The 8BitDo Dpad is not something you can roll your thumb around and get 4 separate clicks out of. And the sound it makes when you do roll your thumb around doesn't sound good. It sounds like the rubber pad is being flipped inside out and makes that flappy, pop-back-into-place/shape sound When it comes to sliding thumb left or right, there will be unwanted inputs for Up/Down This Dpad is stiff. Mushy, but still has a very noticeable click to it. Pressing it feels slow and makes me feel fatigue. The thought of how it felt is making my thumb feel fatigue af right now. My thumb had already gotten so tired from pressing it within the first 2 minutes. I adjusted and my thumb doesn't rly get tired anymore The ABXY are kinda loud, but IDRC. They're flat and are the best feeling buttons I've everpressed. They're also very spaced apart compared to erry other controller I have and I LOVE that. The shoulder buttons are skinny, but not an issue at all. Feels rly good to press them The sticks are very soft. So soft, that they're very slippery. And the position of the left stick makes it difficult to move without my left thumb needing a break, but that's just me. I've always used normal controllers with a Stick symmetrical to the buttons bcuz common sense ergonomics. But I never bought the controller for stick uses I exclusively focus on JRPGs with it. I recently completed Octopath Traveler (all 88 achievements) with this controller and I couldn't have asked for a better con to play it with. I plan on playing Etrian, SMT, Persona 5 and 3 Reload, Bravely Default 2, Octopath 2, FF Pixel Remasters, etc with this. Maybe even Sanic Superstars and Origins (If that games goes on a big enough sale. I wouldn't pay more than $10 for it), but again, Dpad isn't that good for platforming at all

I need to know how to connect this to my wii

Does it work with PS5

Does it support Windows 11

Can you do two player?

I bought this one, to play shooters, because 1 only have 1 hand. With my left hand all button en pokes in reach

just thought to get one for cod mobile but the game wouldn't reconize this controller I guess

I actually prefer this over the pro controller.

is this better to buy tho if you have a lower budget and thinking of buying a bluetooth controller?

I just bought this controller and i am really excited for this to be delivered in my house. I’ll leave an update if it’s worth it, or worth getting a refund

Can it use as wired controller by plug usb type c cable? Thanks.

I bought this controller just for the turbo function on my switch, but there’s no turbo function….this is sad

Would it be good for some n64 controllers also love your vids

This or the Pro 2?

How are you playing the SNES games on your iPad in this video?

I have been using it with GTA 5.

For $5 more bucks you can get the 8BitDo Pro 2 with Turbo...Just Saying. And if you like this style instead of my suggestion check out Retro-Bit Legacy 16... pretty nice.

I've got 2 of these controllers. I happened to get the real snes color ones. I think nintendo threatened them and they made them change the color scheme. There is plenty more features you don't talk about. They do almost everything a switch controller does. They have HD rumble. And have a gyroscope. These controllers are the best. They even made a regular snes style controller. Nothing special just look identical to a snes controller. I have 1 black and one in the USA variant of the snes controller color. I buy alot of their controllers. I hate how the battery is locked in and hardly replaceable. The pro variant has a open back to just replace the battery. Sony is still stuck on the locked in battery ordeal. I love how Microsoft uses double AA. Hate if you want but eventually you won't find a good working replaceable battery for all these controllers. They degrade as time goes. Rechargeable double aas ftw!

Who’s here after the delta emulator launch on ios?

bought

Does it really have a turbo mode?

Vier nice

Just bought one. Is it super small?

Now the price of this controller isn't bad especially if you go wired. It's only 28.

This is not for modern games. It’s for retroarch games

Bro, if you are only gonna use it for platfomers, buy the one without the thumbsticks. It's probably cheaper too.

Theo Controller Sems very Good XD

That is actually the PS1 color

I might be late to this but that looks like a PS1 color.

I got the wired version, totally different experience. It's actually broken out of the box, left joystick sticks and holds in the direction you choose about 30% of the time. Thankfully I'm just playing SNES for now, but the buttons feel kind of "sticky" too, at least compared to xbox and switch pro controllers. I'll be returning it and getting a different unfortunately.

Hope this controller works for roblox

USB cable version is half the price

i like to old school feeling, but imo the dpad is bad :/

If this had replaceable AAA batteries, this would be the ultimate portable controller.

Shame they don't have one without the analog sticks anymore. They're in the way.

yo

dislike for showing more ipad than controller

You know, you, you know, say “you know” every, you know, two seconds or so, you know. It’s, you know, quite annoying, you know.

My Thoughts - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8-KnLSlvNC7k4U.html

Good god get to the point already

That is definitely NOT a SNES colorway. It is PlayStation 1.

This is PS1 design, not Super Nintendo. This is my favorite version too.
