There's not a lot to say, these have been around for a while, and most people know about them, but I shoulda gotten one MUCH sooner because this is by far my favorite controller.
I love the retro aesthetic and the fact that it's not some big heavy thing(not that other controllers are heavy themselves, but by comparison, at least the current xbox one is). And it's incredibly comfortable.
And best of all it has hall effect sticks, which are supposed to be pretty much drift-proof, and it only costs $40.
The only thing I can say that could be even remotely considered a complaint is the fact that you can't wake up a Nintendo Switch with it. It works on the console, but you have to boot it up and go into the "change grip order" thing every time you wanna use it. It's also a tiny bit disappointing that these used to come in color schemes/layouts that were almost exact clones of the controllers that obviously inspired them, and they no longer make those, for what are likely obvious reasons, but it's a shame...
It also works for PC and Android.
EDIT
This is not a personal complaint, but it could be relevant information depending on what games you wanna play with this controller: The shoulder buttons are digital only, not analog. So if for some reason you really want this controller to play racing games with, and you need your shoulder buttons to work like a gas pedal, you're gonna need something else.

A solid controller for retro games and devices
I use this for my mini pc, and other emulators. The quality is pretty descent, just wish the small pairing button wasn’t so inset because if it breaks, it’ll be hard to pair anything in the future. The buttons and joysticks are excellent for all my retro games. Pairing is easy with a few button presses and it’s great that you can charge it with usb c. Depending on the emulator/system, there might be a little latency, but I still like it. I just wish they made a WiFi version of this and it would have been perfect.

The 8BitDo Sn30 Pro Bluetooth Controller is a gaming marvel that has exceeded all my expectations! As a dedicated gamer, I've had my fair share of controllers, but this one has quickly become my absolute favorite. From its retro-inspired design to its exceptional performance, it's clear that 8BitDo has created something truly special.
First and foremost, the design of the Sn30 Pro is an homage to classic gaming controllers, blending the nostalgia of the past with modern technology. The feel of the controller in your hands is fantastic, with a comfortable grip that ensures you can game for hours without any discomfort. The button layout is familiar, with all the buttons, triggers, and thumbsticks placed intuitively, making it easy to adapt for gamers of all ages.
One of the standout features of the Sn30 Pro is its wireless Bluetooth connectivity. The setup is seamless, and it's compatible with a wide range of devices, including PC, Mac, Android, iOS, and even the Nintendo Switch. This versatility makes it a perfect companion for a variety of gaming platforms, and I've experienced no noticeable input lag during my gameplay sessions.

But what truly sets the Sn30 Pro apart is its incredibly precise and responsive performance. The D-pad feels like a dream for retro gaming enthusiasts, while the thumbsticks provide smooth and accurate movement. The tactile feedback of the buttons and triggers is satisfying, and the controller even features motion control capabilities for games that support it.
Furthermore, the ability to customize and remap buttons through the 8BitDo Ultimate Software adds a layer of personalization that enhances the gaming experience. You can tailor the controller to your preferences and optimize it for different game genres, giving you an edge in competitive gameplay.
Lastly, the build quality is top-notch, with a sturdy construction that feels like it can withstand the rigors of intense gaming sessions. This controller is built to last, and it shows in every detail, from the quality of the materials used to the overall craftsmanship.
In conclusion, the 8BitDo Sn30 Pro Bluetooth Controller is a must-have for gamers of all levels. Its combination of retro aesthetics, seamless connectivity, fantastic battery life, and unparalleled performance make it a gaming accessory that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Whether you're a casual gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, this controller will take your gaming experience to the next level. Don't miss out on this gaming gem—it's a true masterpiece!

Compatível com emuladores e jogos da Steam.
Só senti falta de um suporte para colocar o celular em cima do controle, coisa que o 8bitdo do Mega Drive tem. Mas isso é o de menos, isso não tira a excelente qualidade que ele possui.
