Quality

The device is super small, made well, easy to connect, and reliable.

Very compact and well build controller it’s actually pretty comfortable despite the size.

Very annoying and frankly unacceptable for a commercially-developed app in this day and age.

Once paired, you just turn the controller on with the power button when you want to use it, and it automatically powers off aft... Read More

Price

Plus for 22 bucks or so you don’t really have to worry about tossing it in your pocket or your back pack.

Plus it’s about 1/3 the price of the purpose-made tablet keypads!

Ps on the 8bitdo website it’s on sale for $19 with free shipping and no tax, i’d go with that.

In conclusion, although the device required a little setup, it works as i expected and i think the $22 price is very reasonable.

Shipping

Good product - shipped quickly - and well packaged.

The device was shipped with the newest 1.

Competitiveness

This remote is way better than any of the others over tried so far.

I've been through several of their controllers, whereas some cheap off brand controller targeted towards children will last forever.

The micro model feels much better in hand than the zero model, though it is the same size with 4 more buttons.

This is similar to how some of my switch controllers operate as well.
