Pros & Cons
Pros
The d-pad is flawless, and the * are crisp and responsive.
It has the layout of the classic snes controllers for your old emulation. Joysticks for your playstation 1 emulation, additional * for hotkey assignment, triggers for macros and extended input support.
It is as perfect and accurate as any directional you'll find. After searching for a good pc/mister controller, this one finally delivers! A very good controller. It's cool having a nice controller that also looks good.

Cons
Design is cute but functionality and documentation is terrible. Downloaded update file from 8bitdo site, bricking controller with no way to downgrade. It's quite frankly embarrassing to see them sell.
The controller is already off because the instructions tell me to unplug the usb. The d-pad on this controller regularly gives ghost inputs on the diagonal directions. And yes, this results in accidental diagonals far too often.
Device is now bricked and unusable. Whenever i move the cord at all it stops working. Same issue on my laptop and steam deck.
Highlights
Quality
This is my second one in 10 years and old one started working again the day after this one came.
It's a very well made game pad and i'm happy with it.
Only complaint is a typical one of this style game pad where the right joystick gets in the way of the yb buttons.
Great controller, just didn't fit my hands well enough.
Price
This is exactly what i needed and at a great price.

I would love a wired no joystick version or ideally an only left joystick version

I took it apart and sawed off the right stick and now i like it a lot more though i still wish it were smooth there instead of a bump for the joystick surround

Being able to buy a joystick delete from 8bitdo would be cool
