Anyone tried the 8Bitdo SN30 Pro Controller?

I use a small PC + RetroArch for most of my retro gaming these days. The best "most" system controller i have found is the Hori Pad Turbo Plus.



I use it for NES all the way up to WiiU. Mostly because the D-Pad does not suck for older games. Otherwise i would just use an official Sony controller.

These SN30 Pros look pretty neat... Anyone tried one?

I haven't tried that one, but can't recommend the Buffalo SNES controller enough! They run $14 on Amazon.

Thanks for the Hori pad. I've been looking for a reputable controller to use for PS1 emulation (games that aren't d pad friendly).

I have had a Buffalo SNES controller for many many yeas hehe

I have a SN30 Pro. It's good, but I don't like the d-pad on mine. It seems to slide around a bit too much, and it's far, far too easy to accidentally hit diagonals. My brother's doesn't seem to exhibit this issue, which indicates to me there's a little bit of manufacturing tolerance / quality control issues. I hear there's a fix that will reduce some of that by opening up the controller and putting tape over part of the contacts.

For stuff that doesn't require the d-pad much (i.e. Xenoblade 2), it has been fine. Analog sticks are nice and tight. The only adjustment is that it is a bit smaller than the normal controller, so if you have large hands and cramp easily, it might not be the best choice.

Thank you. I think i will stick with what i have.. and buy another. Maybe a couple more. They seem to be slowly disappearing, and getting more expensive, on eBay.

A friend of mine is having trouble using those for retropie. He has to remap it every time, couldn't get it to play it wireless. He has already followed the guidelines.

Retroarch can be fiddly. Sure it isnt "Pebkac" lol

This thing looks kinda cool. Might buy one if it works on PC.

I have a FC30 Pro and it is damn near perfection.
