Highlights
Quality
I use this machine for work and for gaming, it's rock solid, the problem is 100% in their software.
The analog sticks work great, super sensitive and accurate.

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.
