Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Feels great in the hand and the textured back should mean no slips! Even the seams are smooth to the touch. Very comfy in my hands.

The quality of this 8bitdo controller is unbelievable! It feels very sturdy and dare i say it, even better quality than first party controllers from major console manufacturers.

D-pad quality and placement make up for the shortcomings. Bought mostly to play apple arcade games and grid autosport on my ipad 9th gen. Using it in an android snes emulator pulling off street fighter combos are easy and the dpad is precise.

Cons

Don't download the app and don't upgrade the firmware. It just disconnects after a few seconds and turns off. There are four lights, one of them stays on if the controller is connected, the rest flash if it's connecting.

Nothing compares to this for me, i will only ever buy 8bitdo controllers now.

Having the thumbsticks a little lower works really well compared to the xbox controller.
