The analog triggers are very mushy and unsatisfying to press.

Price


Overall, great controller at a great price.


Given the price and the features, it's hard to not recommend this controller even with the issues.


The price is acceptable and worth the controller.


I think it is 100% worth 50 bucks and i have had it for about a year now.

Shipping


Sure i had to wait 2 days for basic prime shipping.


It arrived in one piece and in fully functioning order.

Competitiveness


Say you want a to be b and vice versa, well, you can do that, among a ton more (macros and turbos as well).


Better than ps4, better than switch pro controller.


Regardless, that's a nintendo and microsoft problem having to be different, not 8bitdo's.


This is honestly one of the most solid-built controllers i've used in a while, which is comparable to even the xbox elite controller.
