Awesome Controller! You can connect it to your laptop, PC, or even your Switch! I haven't tried it on any other consoles yet. It works great and you can map buttons like a normal controller. Its wireless and you only have to charge it sometimes. I've had it for 4 years and the buttons are finally wearing down to where they don't work sometimes. (so lasts 2+ years of regular use (twice a week)).

The build is just amazing and it feels high quality. I have big hands and generally like the Xbox joystick layout but this controller is so comfortable to use.I find the triggers too sensitive and with the customisation software I am able to adjust the sensitivity easily.

Using with Ubuntu PC with Bluetooth and playing steam games like horizon chase and my favourite dead cells. The controller is comfortable to use and good build. Way better than those other knockoffs that have become Best seller or Amazon’s choice.

Top qualité, se connecte sans trop de mal, finition de la manettes qui fais pas trop "plastique", bonne accroche ben main en version noir mat, la durée de la batterie 🔋 et plus que bonne sur des sessions de 6 h de jeux, joystick réactif et confortable, bouton rétro et agréable, on n'a l'impression d'avoir plus une manette de ps4 en main que vraiment une super Nintendo, possibilité de la charger via usb-c avec sa 🔋 interne ou la remplacer par des simple pile ( aucun intérêt à vrais dire ) mais j'aime bien le concept, gâchette agréable et précis, je voulais une deuxième manette autre que ma Pro officiel pour la Switch et j'en suis pas déçu, elle et bonne sans vraiment aussi être au niveau de la officiel pro, on va pas se mentir non plus, la seul chose qu'elle a de plus c'est sa comptabilité avec pc, smartphone, Switch etc... Et bien sûr la croix directionnelle qui est fais vraiment pour les jeux rétro type Mario Bross, marker, etc... Bien meilleur que la officiel ...Après pour le prix... Si vous voulez une manette juste pour jouer à la Switch docker, tourné vous sur une pro officiel à quelques euro prêt.Si vous désirez une manette qui s'adapte à plein de périphérique cette manette et faite pour celà.La qualité des matériaux et plutôt propre, et elle fais pas "bas de gamme" comme certaine manettes à 30 euro.Je valide. 🤙

As someone who 95% of the time has no need of analog triggers, I would really have liked for this to have digital triggers. However, I know that analog triggers appeal to a wider audience. Where I think they missed an opportunity is offering an option for both. Since the software allows you to customize the range of the triggers and the tops of the triggers just pull right off, they could offer a replacement part that provides a shorter throw. Maybe if enough people bother them they will do it.8bitdo has been doing a really great job with their controllers lately with some notable improvements over previous models. For example, I have had an SN30 Pro (not the Pro+) for a while now and it was generally pretty good except that the d-pad registered diagonals when it really shouldn't. I also noticed that the analog sticks were a bit strange when used on PC - they would snap to the cardinal directions and the movement was more of a square than a circle. The d-pad issue I fixed with a bit of tape, but it wasn't until I finally bothered to update the firmware that I noticed that the thumbstick issues have long since been resolved. But enough about that controller, here is what's great about the SN30 Pro+.Pros:-The d-pad is pretty much perfect right out of the box this time, at least for the controller I got. Diagonals only register when I want them to.-The thumbsticks are great. They are very similar to the sticks on a DualShock 4 - not quite convex, but not quite concave, either. The tension is also similar to a DS4, which is how I like it. There was a bit of roughness when moving the thumbsticks along the edge of the hole, but I just took the front off and lightly sanded it to get rid of that.-It feels almost exactly like a DualShock 4, but also like an SNES controller at the same time. The grips and analog triggers are practically identical, but obviously the d-pad is spot-on for an SNES controller and the spacing of the face buttons (ABXY) are a little wider like an SNES controller.-The buttons are all nice and snappy, but not quite as stiff as they are on my SN30 Pro.-No stick drift. Technically they center at like 0.000002 instead of just 0, but in practice they are the same thing. The SN30 Pro does this, too, so I suspect it's something 8bitdo is doing that makes that happen.-I really like the ergonomics. It's light and the grips aren't too thick, so it's very comfortable to use for long periods of time.-The rechargeable battery can be removed and you can use AA batteries instead.Cons:-Personally, I would have preferred to have digital triggers. I can understand that they probably wanted to appeal to more people, but I have very little need for analog triggers and if I had to pick one or the other, I'd choose digital every time.-I would have liked a headset jack. I know it's primarily marketed as a Switch controller, but I use it primarily with PC and it would have been nice to have there.-The included cable is too short to be of any use except for charging.-The first time you use the thumbsticks after turning the controller on, no matter how much or how little you move them they will snap to 100% movement. Not physically, just in terms of how the software/console/game reads the input. They work fine after that. It's odd, but easily remedied by just moving them even once before you start playing.I highly recommend this controller for anyone, but especially for people who really like the feel of a DualShock 4 and want a similar controller for the Switch or for PC.

Dont think just buy. Best controller to use for every game but the d-pad for mario maker 2 and nintendo online works the best!

Let's start out with something that isn't relevant to my score but might be of interest to some buying this controller.My controller arrived and it didn't seem as new as they claimed, at least as far as the box was concerned. Some minor scratches from shipping were on the box were a whatever thing but the inside had some dust and other lil' bits of debris from what might be a previous owner or a refurb place. I doubt it was refurbished because the controller itself seemed perfect. It was just odd bits of bits of dust and particles on the plastic covering.Okay onto the review that's directly effecting the score:First of all, download the ultimate software for this off 8bitdos website, it allows you to easily update the controller and modify bits of it for PC and POSSIBLY Switch use. I haven't played a lot with this and my Switch just my PC. This is important you don't ignores this as one of the updates straight up says it's to help fix controller lag with the Switch with the Joycons attached. That's a BIG update if I read one.On to my experienceAfter 10 minutes of just making sure everything was set I played about 4 hours of Monster Hunter World on PC with rando's & a friend and it's very, very impressive. It doesn't feel like a 3rd party controller, it really feels like a proper 1st party controller which is weird since I'm used to the XB1 rev1 , PS4 & WiiU Pro controllers. This feels like an odd mix between the PS4 and a SNES controller. Not in any badway just weird in the hands if that makes sense.There's several modes that the controller can function with, with PC for the most part you want it to be set to XInput as that's the standard for that, by holding start+X it'll boot into that. For switch you hold start+Y. You only need to do this if you're changing the device you're pairing it with. If you've already synced it, you just need to hold start. So it's quick like that.The buttons all feel solid as do the sticks, I didn't have any problem with Monster Hunter other than my hands feeling a Nintendo controller & the game being mapped for a XB controller. Each button felt responsive as did the sticks. I really couldn't see anything to complain about here. The triggers are analog so they'll give you the responsiveness you might want for PC and they work perfectly fine for Switch despite it not having analog.I played a bit of Freedom Planet on Switch (10 minutes or so) which can be demanding given your dpad inputs+attack/special inputs can change a lot. There's nothing I noticed here, dpad felt fine and I didn't go in a random direction when using my specials or attacks and I couldn't spot any delay. This is a game I've put over 150 hours into as I enjoy it so I think I'd be able to notice something really standing out.The controller comes with a USB -C charging cable which has a USB3 jack on the other end, so charging the controller is plenty easy. And unlike the PS4 controller if you don't want to use the pack they include, you can pop the battery cover open, remove the battery pack and slot in your own enloops- which I did for my first test run as I didn't want to wait to charge my controller.It worked great, I can't speak for batterylife in this review but I'd imagine it'd be fine considering it's basically a XB1 controller in it's functionality. I'm sure I can promise with CONFIDENCE this is better in 90% of ways than a PS4 controller with PC. I've had experience with that controller on PC and it was fine but would need 3rd party drivers for most games, which actively told me I had lag despite being only 2-3 feet max away from the adapter & the battery life of the PS4 controller even with 3rd party apps adjusting the brightness of the bar to dim or OFF- the batt life was still poor. This I'm sure will do much better. My MD30's batt life seems absurd.The grips feel better than they look in the pics, they look like they're kinda just slapped on to make up for the complaints for the regular SN30 controller but actually they felt pretty nice. They feel like a PS4 controller's grips and sticks with a SNES being the base for the face of the controller.I've seen some complain in the reviews but I'm not seeing those issues honestly. I got some cheap-y ASUS adapter for PC and my switch is maybe 3-5 feet away from the controller with direct line of sight and I noticed no lag nor had any issues hooking them up. It was about 10 minutes to get the controller updated & working on PC with xinput and less than a minute for the switch. You don't have NFC for switch but I doubt that's an issue for most.The short: Do you need a controller for PC or Switch but don't feel like shelling out a boat load of cash for a Switch Pro controller or a XB1 controller+wireless adapter.This can serve you just fine. There's no limitations to speak of for either device as they don't need an adapter *PC WILL NEED SOME FORM OF BLUETOOTH OR JUST WIRE IT) .The software and controller options are very, very robust, it's a good feeling controller and I couldn't spot any lag what-so-ever.This doesn't feel like those janky madkatz controllers you'd get because they were cheap, this genuinely feels like a 1st party controller but has the versatility of no platform to claim loyalty to. You can easily use it between PC, Switch, android and iOS with a small button combo to change it when you need it. I've used the MD30 controller much the same with PC & Switch and that was great & this seems to mirror that experience.

Ich hatte zum 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ Controller bereits einige gute Bewertungen gesehen und habe mich durch den Kauf einer Switch für das Gerät entschieden. Verpackung und die Verarbeitung selbst sind einwandfrei, nichts knarzt oder wirkt billig. Das Koppeln mit der Konsole selbst hat auch auf Anhieb funtioniert und Rumbe & Neigung werden wie beim (natürlich teureren) Nintendo Pro Controller unterstützt.Man kann per Software auch das Ansprechverhalten der hinteren analogen L2/R2-Buttons einstellen, mir sagt die Einstellung im Auslieferzustand aber auch zu! Als PS4-Spieler lag mir die Anordnung der Buttons / Sticks wie beim DualShock4 am liebsten, weshalb ich den Controller letzten Endes dem Nintendo-Original vorgezogen habe. Qualitativ dürften sich beide nichts nehmen, bei Nintendo ist der Akku jedoch fest verbaut (beim 8BitDo ist ein ohne Werkzeug wechselbarer Akku drin, welcher mit 2x AA Batterien ersetzt werden kann) und man ist dank der Möglichkeit zur Nutzung am PC/Mac, Android & Rasberry Pi deutlich flexibler. Das dem Nintendo-Steuerkreutz nachempfundene Digital-Pad macht übrigens auch einen hervorragenden Eindruck, von mir gibts eine klare Kaufempfehlung für die wohl beste Alternative zum Nintendo-Controller für die Switch.
