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.
The Sn30 Pro's exceptional battery life is another huge plus. I've been amazed by how long it lasts on a single charge, allowing me to game for days without constantly worrying about recharging. This controller truly understands the needs of avid gamers.
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!

Pros:
- Wireless works flawlessly with both RetroPi and Recalbox. I run RetroPi on a RP4 and Recalbox on a RP3, and this controller's Bluetooth is immediately detected and works beautifully with both. With my TVs on "Game Mode," there is absolutely no perceived lag on this controller with Dreamcast games and earlier.
- The gamepad itself has perfect heft and even sports rumble motors. You can FEEL the quality of this controller in every aspect. The buttons are all snappy and the analog sticks work beautifully. Think Super Nintendo controller except with two extra shoulder buttons and two analog sticks (except not even Nintendo could build this any better).
- Excellent battery life as far as can tell. At least a couple hours even when playing a Dreamcast game.
- Perfect for my medium-sized hands. I suppose guys with large hands might not like this controller as much, but they probably wouldn't be using SNES type gamepads, anyway.
Cons:
- 8BitDo does sell a dongle for this controller, but I think it's strange that it doesn't just come with one (sometimes it's better to use a dongle depending on your setup... gives a stronger Bluetooth connection).
- The price point is high and you'll never find this thing on sale. But I guess you get what you pay for.
Top reviews from other countries
Es muy ligero y cómodo para manos pequeñas-medianas, además los materiales se sienten de excelente calidad y es muy difícil que el control se llegue a resbalar de las manos.
Aunque no he tenido la oportunidad de jugar muchos títulos con mapas muy extensos, siento que el control es capaz y puede de igual forma darte un excelente servicio.
En cuanto a la conectividad el control nunca ha presentado fallas de conexión o algo así y es fácil de emparejar a la consola.
Siendo objetivos dudo mucho que haya una mejor opción y más si se consigue en un precio con oferta
Por mais, dpad excelente, material de qualidade, robusto, design classico mas modernizado, estranhamente ergonômico, botões que se sente pressionarem, tem gente que não gosta, o que não é meu caso.
Conectividade excelente e rápida, no switch conecta mais rápido que os joycon! Bluetooth no pc não testei ainda, mas vou testar.
A embalagem tão cheia de carinho, parece ser de relógio de luxo.
10/10 - Compraria de novo, mas vou comprar o M30 agora por que virei colecionador da fabricante.

it's extremely light , small but yet comfortable to hold.
I mainly use mine to play games on PC and sometime on the tablets , work great on both , almost no input delay on both platform.
each mode (X-input , DIrect input , switch mode , macOS) act like a separate device so you don't need to unpair it to move between platforms , only if you move to a different device from the same platform.
