Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The build quality is exceptional. It feels sturdy and well-made. The sn30 pro's exceptional battery life is another huge plus. Its combination of retro aesthetics, seamless connectivity, fantastic battery life, and unparalleled performance make it a g... Read More

The snes controller is the archetypal controller for me. The controller's compatibility with multiple platforms is a huge plus. A comfortable grip ensures you can game for hours without any discomfort.

D-pad is one of the best gamepads on the market. The * feel very tactile yet still give off that snes d-pad feel. The joysticks feel straight out of the xbox controller. They are comfortable, but not as comfortable as a normal xbox or ps gamepad.

One of the standout features of the sn30 pro is its wireless bluetooth connectivity. It is a versatile, well-built, and reliable gaming accessory.

Cons

This is where things go downhill fast! Basically was unusable for me. Extremely disappointed in that aspect and definitely avoiding these going forward.

After 3 months, the rubber is almost completely gone. It seems that either the quality of the rubber wasn't improved or the improved rubber was defective. It is inadmissible that after only 4 hours of use, the left stick rubber has started to peel.

Highlights

Quality

It feels high quality and robust and plays great with classic games.

Also shout out for the quality - it feels like quality materials and a very good build

This one does not have the software like the pro 2.

The hall effect sticks are immune to drift, making the controller a little more durable and an excellent choice for on-the-go gaming.

Price

Overall it's a steal for its price and highly recommend it.

Try getting it cheaper on the sales though.

This controller is too expensive, should probably be like 25-30 considering it is a cheap fragile plastic build with basic face buttons.

Packaging/appearance

Quality control is solid, packaging is nice, and i've been playing all day already and bought a second one.

Competitiveness

Compared to the pro 2, it has a less features, no profiles, no additional buttons, no customizability.

I also played several other 3d games that utilized the analogue sticks, including a few ps2 games, and even some pc titles.
