At the risk of sounding like a corporate flunky, there is a $50 option: https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Sn30-Pro-Bluetooth-Gamepad-Sn/dp/B07T8JKVNT

u/Squid_Smuggler · 17 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

8 bitdo sn30 pro plus, it says in the description that it's compatible with windows 7 and works well on switch. The only downside is that it can't wake the switch up from sleep.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T8JKVNT

u/XenSide · 14 pointsr/pcgaming

Too bad it was clearly advertised as compatible with HOTAS.

I would totally understand your point if they didn't sell a fucking OFFICIAL thing for the game and then they don't support it.

https://www.amazon.com/Combat-Hotas-Flight-Stick-PlayStation-4/dp/B01A0P8NBC

Also, project ace themselves literally just wrote that they're looking into the issue and it is indeed a bug.

u/tomkatt · 14 pointsr/emulation

There's the GPD XD and the JXD s192. Shield portable is probably not a good buy today. For one, it's been discontinued for ages, but also, it only supports a fairly old GLES spec, which hurts its emulation capabilities (limiting N64 quality, and it can't play Saturn via uoYabause at all).

And tablets aren't necessarily out, as there's the Ipega PG-9023 controller and the CamRom Telescopic controller / BTC-938 / Saitake STK-7003, etc (it's got several names/brands).

I own both of those and they're solid gamepads. Here's my Shield tablet setup with the Ipega.


For further responses, I'd suggest defining what you would call "a fortune."

Yeah, bluetooth controllers are a thing. Controlling your tesla with this guy would be orgasmic.

u/breezytrees · 8 pointsr/NintendoSwitchDeals

I went with the pro gaming elite bundle and it's a game changer.

I also bought this ravpower 26800 powerbank which the case was specifically made to fit and it fits like a glove.

It can also fit a spare set of joycons (complete with the bumpers attached), an 8bit sn30pro, this portable dock, and this small charger, complete with all cables required except the hdmi cable.

Full disclosure, that dock and compact charger works with latest switch firmware, but the dock has died once already and was replaced under warranty by the manufacturer. If I were to do it again I'd probably switch to the bionic all in one dock that includes charger, hdmi cable, and everything.

Edit: Bonus: I also attached a pro controller to the unit via this molded controller case attached to the satisfy case via the provided carabiner - or I would if this particular part of my setup wasn’t stolen.

u/Einlanzer99 · 7 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

I've not personally tried it yet, but have heard some great things about it:

8Bitdo SN30 Pro+

u/qwertylerqw · 7 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

The 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ sounds exactly like what you’re looking for. It just released so it might be worth waiting to see what others say about it

Mine is coming tomorrow and I can let you know my first impressions if you like

Edit: I completely forgot about the adapters to use a DS4 controller that someone else mentioned. That’s probably the best route!

u/IdiotWizardNinja · 7 pointsr/MarioMaker

This is the one I plan on getting. It has decent reviews and I think it would be best with my gameplay style.

It actually works on iOS now! I used the controller on my iPhone XR for Steam Link (everything works near flawless except the Guide & Select (minus) button which is odd. https://www.reddit.com/r/8bitdo/comments/dk8p0x/how_to_pair_an_8bitdo_controller_with_iosipados/

u/Regnbyxor · 6 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Sadly not. The analog sticks are treated as a d-pad essentially. They become digital, so no fine movement. Also, the adapter costs almost $40 on Amazon, when you can get this for a couple of more dollars, and it has working analog sticks and blutooth.

u/kfsb2 · 6 pointsr/EmulationOnAndroid

https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-Telescopic-Connecting-Joystick/dp/B077L8656T

I love this controller. Makes my phone feel like a switch. Haven't noticed any input lag and it works great for ps1 games as well as NES and GBA.

Solidly built, very responsive and nice clickable buttons and triggers, and you can also click in the sticks.

It stretches to fit your phone (just check your phone length I think it needs to be under 6in). Won't fit in jeans pockets but it'll fit in cargo shorts or a hoodie. I keep it in my backpack and use it on the train

u/darkpassenger9 · 6 pointsr/Games

Looks like it's just their take on the telescopic bluetooth controllers you can buy currently. Most of them are crap from no-name Chinese companies, so it seems like this will take that idea and do it with Xbox branding and proper build quality.

u/Zero_Risk · 5 pointsr/lowendgaming

I have one of these 8bitdo SFC30 controllers and I absolutely love it. I've used it so much over the last year and a half that I'm very likely going to buy one of their NES30 Pro controllers. I think the NES30 Pro is better suited for PSP emulation and for use with a lot of indie games I have on steam (e.g. Rogue Legacy, Binding of Isaac, Risk of Rain).

u/HookshotTDM · 5 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

I use the SN30 Pro from 8bitdo but the newer SN30 Pro+ came out just recently and will probably be more comfortable to hold with the hand grips added.

They pair to the switch instantly and show up as a Pro Controller.

u/chakrablocker · 4 pointsr/gaming

MOGA makes a $13 controller, never tried it though. I bought a controller from ipega https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GNXMXA8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_VuSqub1W8H8JT.

Really love having it for playing n64 games. It would be impossible to play with out.

Well... one issue. When they first connect whatever menu I'm on goes hard scrolling (left on the main emulator menus, down on the rom selection screens). As soon as I touch a button it stops it and all is good.

I assume there is something small and trivial to fix but it really doesn't bother me much at all. Just need to google it. But if anyone knows what the fix is let me know!

I'm still plugging away at Fire Emblem: Three Houses and just started back into Dragon Quest XI. I don't have a ton of new thoughts on either, but I'm playing them and hoping to get through Fire Emblem fairly soon. Hey guess what, that guy what likes JRPGs really likes Dragon Quest go figure.

I bought a 8Bitdo Sn30 to help expand my rotation of controllers. It's a neat little controller with a killer D-pad. The D-pad is so good, in fact, that it kinda makes me worse at the games I've been playing, namely Celeste. I've gotten so used to the kinda squirrely nature of the Joycon analog stick that trying to play with an honest to god D-pad made me fail repeatedly. I played a few SNES games with it and they all felt great, though Super Mario World was a lot harder than I remember.

My favorite controller for sidescroller games has always been 8Bit-do's Sn30 line of controllers. It's $45, so a bit more than what you were looking for, but the d-pad is leagues better IMO. It's about $12 less than a pro controller.

This is a link someone else posted for the ipega. it's only $24 and it has worked perfect for me. I like everything about it.

u/pak9rabid · 3 pointsr/gaming

Here's my setup:

  • Raspberry Pi 3
  • LibreELEC
  • Kodi Gamestarter addon
  • 8bitdo SFC30 SNES controller(s)

    This allows you to use your Pi not only as a RetroArch machine, but also a general-purpose media center machine running Kodi. Seeing as I have multiple machines like this around the house, I serve up my ROMs and Save Game data off a server via NFS, so that I can play a game on one box, then move to another one and pick up my saved game from there. This is a far better setup than the shit Nintendo is releasing.
u/ascagnel · 3 pointsr/Games

You can buy controllers that are almost identical in feel to the original SNES & NES controllers fairly cheaply off of Amazon.

I have this SNES USB wired controller, and there are wireless versions of the SNES, NES, and N64 controllers.

u/creatureshock · 3 pointsr/nintendo
  1. Nulaxy Dual Foldable Stand - Nice and solid stand, but very light weight. Doesn't feel like it's going to fall over.

  2. Mumba Nintendo Switch case - I have an issue where the Switch's thin size makes my hands hurt after a while. This has helped that a lot and makes it feel like I am not going to drop it.

  3. 8bitdo FC30 Pro Controller - I really like this controller. It feels good in my hands, like the old NES controller.

  4. Google Pixel 18W USB-C Power Adapter - God's own travel charger for the Switch. Worth the money.

  5. A game. Pick one you think you'll like.

Been wanting to get one of these kind of controllers for my phone but 40+ bucks is a little much for me.

u/DriftMonkey · 3 pointsr/NintendoSwitchDeals

So there are 2 models of old (discontinued) SF/SN30 Pro and 2 newer models of SN30 Pro (G Classic and Sn Editions).

u/MatNomis · 3 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Excellent, glad you have both.

For another gaming option, if she has an iPhone, I would also suggest checking out the Apple Arcade stuff with a proper controller (you can use PS4 controllers now). I'm still in the free trial period, but it's been promising so far. I've put some decent time into Bleak Sword.

Back to the Switch, I'm not aware of any authoritative data on how people use the Switch. I don't think the subreddit survey even broached the question. I think it's also worth distinguishing between "plugged in" and "tabletop mode". I'm sure tons of people use the Switch while it's plugged into AC (or external battery) power, so they don't have to worry about running out of juice. Tabletop mode is just handheld mode, but using an external controller. The only problems specific to tabletop mode would be comfort/ergonomic related (not software).

Even with my regular Switch, I find tabletop mode a little challenging. Most tables are kind of low, so I have to look down for the screen. The built-in kickstand isn't designed to provide an angle that points the Switch at an adult's eye-level, so I usually need to put it on top of a stack of books or something...or use a separate stand that has more angles. Once this is all done, I feel I need to stay pretty close to the Switch, since the screen is pretty small (even on my regular Switch). Part of the problem is that I've been playing a lot of RPG's lately, which tend to be text- and UI element-intensive. If I was playing something like Yoshi's Crafted World, I don't think it'd be a problem.

I use the gooseneck stand to play in bed while laying down. It's bliss.

As far as portability goes, do you have any SNES controllers around the house? Either original, or maybe from the classic SNES mini? If those are comfortable for her, I would definitely consider the 8bitdo SN30 Pro (without the plus). It doesn't have the palm rest grips, but I still find it to be pretty comfortable--slightly more so than the actual SNES controller (due to it's slightly larger size). However, it's extremely portable. It slips easily into the small back-pouch on my backpack. I'm not sure how much benefit it would provide over the built-in controls on the Lite, other than saving it some wear and tear (hopefully avoiding analog stick drift), but it does have a more dual-shock style layout, which it seems like she prefers.

u/n00bias · 3 pointsr/EmulationOnAndroid

Does anyone have experience with the Beboncool Q39? It appears to be relatively new, but all of the Amazon reviews are positive. Since those are not always the most reliable, does anyone here have experience with this controller?

u/acklavidian · 3 pointsr/godot
u/TemptedTemplar · 3 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Official Switch Pro Controller $62

PowerA GameCube Pro Controller $50

PowerA Wireless Enhanced Controller $35

8bitdo SN30 Pro+ $50

Outside of Official devices, powerA, Hori, PDP, or 8bitdo; I wouldn't recommend any of the no-name brands you'll find on Amazon, as they're all hawking the same Chinese knock off products.

u/otaking3582 · 3 pointsr/Skullgirls

Best option for Switch: 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro+

Not only does it have a great d-pad (certainly better than the one on the Pro Controller or Switch Lite), but the form factor and button placement is superb, and you can easily use it to play PC games and emulators

u/Lorben · 3 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

>Does Zelda have RPG elements? As in something to grind out to make your character OP? Whether it be levels, abilities, and so on.

Kinda, you can upgrade your health and stamina by completing shrines. No traditional experience based RPG levels, you can't just grind in one spot until you're buff.

>Is there a recommendation on controllers?

The official Pro Controller or an 8bitdo SN30 Pro+. Both are quality controllers.

The benefits of the Pro controller is that it can scan Amiibos, has HD rumble and can turn on the system by holding down the home button.

The benefits of the SN30 Pro+ is that it has a much better d-pad, and has software that lets you remap all the buttons, change joystick deadzones, trigger sensitivity, and a few other things.

>Are the A-B-X-Y backwards on all the controllers? I keep pressing b thinking it’s a.

Technically the A-B-X-Y is backwards on every other controller because the SNES controller used those buttons first. But yes, every controller made for the Switch will have the Nintendo layout.

>Now that the gripe is out of the way. I can’t wait to hop into the games on here. Are there any recommendations y’all would make for a PS4 gamer that is mostly into JRPG’s and visual novel/social sim element stuff. Or any single player games on switch you consider to be criminal to not have.

For exclusives, Pokemon Sword\Shield immediately comes to mind, that's out next month. You may also enjoy SteamWorld Quest.

There's also some good multiplatform games that I feel work better on the Switch due to portability like Dragon Quest XI, Final Fantasy 7\8\9\10, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy,
Katamari Damacy Reroll and Undertale. So if you haven't picked up those for PS4 you may want to consider them for the Switch.

Single player games most people enjoy in general and might be your type are Super Mario Odyssey, Bayonetta + Bayonetta 2, and Astral Chain.

u/alittlebeat · 3 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

I second this OP, I just got in this week the new wireless 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ controller for $50 & its amazing. As someone online described it, its like a hybrid between the dualshock 4 + Switch Pro controller. The layout of the buttons & dpad is like the PS4 dualshock but its a retro Nintendo design for sure. It comes in 3 colors: the Gameboy variant, SNES, or an all black. (I personally went with gameboy cuz I have the Pro controller already which is an all black. And I prefer the button colors for the Gameboy over the SNES)

For features it has:

  1. customizable software (which also includes the ability to set macros to certain buttons or just to adjust the sensitivity of things)

  2. the ability to work across devices/platforms, as it can be used for things like the Switch, Android, Mac, or PC

  3. a rechargeable battery that is ALSO removable & allows you to use two AA batteries to power it if your battery dies (and the rechargeable battery has a 20 hour life which is pretty good for a 3rd party controller

  4. actual handles/wings unlike all the other 8bitdo controllers they've done in the past

    The placement of the dpad makes it perfect for platformers, & especially for Mario Maker 2 which is why I pre-ordered it. The official Switch Pro controller is good...except for the fact that the dpad can register false movements. Because you can for example press right & down at the same time accidentally when you're only trying to press right. But the SN30 Pro+ its also an all around great controller, not just for platformers.

    If you'd like something more portable & don't mind lacking wings/handles, 8bitdo has smaller versions/variations of the wireless SN30 Pro+ but without wings & the customization software. They are usually between $40-$50 for the SN30 Pro or SF30 Pro models, the regular N30 Pro/Pro2 is around $40, & there's even a wired model for $25.

u/bespinluke · 2 pointsr/AndroidGaming

The folks over at XDA still haven’t cracked the Note 3? That is surprising. I have the Moga Power Pro (same as the pro but bigger battery and can charge you device) and the Pocket. You will not be disappointed by the quality of Moga, any model you choose is well built and sturdy. I don’t recommend the pocket because you will need root with some emulators, the pocket does not have an HID mode like the pro. The 3rd controller you mentioned seems a lot like the IPEGA-9025 and should cost about 20.00 bucks. I read mixed reviews about the IPEGA some bashing the quality of the buttons and others bashing the compatibility with apps and phones. Is Gameclip and option because I think the OTG cable to the Sixaxis controller directly should work. Good Luck, If you do get the IPEGA post a review.

More of a SNES controller but can be used for NES games easily: iBuffalo controller

You can also go for a Bluetooth variant: [8bitdo controller] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Y0LUQFE/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1509975030&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=8bitdo+sf30&dpPl=1&dpID=41wQuB79i1L&ref=plSrch)

I have both and both work great. You can find cheaper versions of these but in my experience you always notice the cheapness when you get those controllers. But, they might be usable if you don't mind that

If you are wanting to get a controller you can use for years to come though I'd pick either the iBuffalo or the 8bitdo. You can also get the 8bitdo controllers in the style of old NES controllers if you really are set on it being NES specifically

u/RawGeorgie · 2 pointsr/retrogaming

You should look into the 8bitdo snes controller. It's legit amazing. Feels like a real snes controller + it's both wired and wireless. A bit more expensive than the ibuffalo, but the quality is waaaaay better.

I'm hoping Valve does something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Telescopic-Wireless-Bluetooth-Controller-CA1042ZR/dp/B01DZR5WJI

Telescopic controllers seem to be the ones that can fit around the sides of a phone / tablet, and overall can create a better form factor (imo) for gaming and portability than sticking a phone clip onto the top of a controller.

u/Omg_Seph · 2 pointsr/emulation

I've been thinking about this question for quite some time and have come to the realisation that there is no 'perfect' emulation station. What I've identified is a spectrum where you are trading off portability/convenience for power, and your personal preference will dictate which device is best for you. I'll list pros and cons here on what I think the spectrum looks like from 'Most Power and Least Portability' to 'Most Portability and Least Power':

  • Gaming PC
    Pros: Can emulate anything at high quality. Can take any controller. Big display. Access to Steam
    Cons: Not portable at all. Expensive
  • Gaming Laptop
    Pros: Can emulate most things at high quality. Is portable. Big display. Long(ish) battery life. Can take any controller. Access to Steam
    Cons: Bulky to carry and use (if on the go). Heats up significantly. Expensive.
  • 2-in-1 hybrid Laptop / Tablet (Like the Surface Pro)
    Pros: Less bulky than a laptop. Small enough to use a controller that wraps around the device (makes gaming on the go better). Can take any controller. Good display size. Access to Steam
    Cons: Expensive. Still a large device you will need to carry around. Not quite powerful enough to run the latest gen of emulation really well.
  • Tablet
    Pros: Good display size. Less bulky than a laptop. Small enough to use a controller that wraps around the device. Cheap.
    Cons: No access to Steam. Cannot emulate much above PS1 (some of the better tablets might be able to). Cannot take USB controllers easily (need adapters). Not all emulators / cores actively developed on iOS / Android
  • Smart Phone
    Pros: Extremely portable. You are going to have a phone with you anyway. Not as expensive as the above
    Cons: Cannot emulate much above PS1 (Although the very latest smart phones might be able to). Not all emulators / cores actively developed on iOS / Android (you'll be dealing with bugs for longer). Cannot take USB controller. Small display.

    Personally I value convenience above all else and have gone with emulation on my smart phone. The controller issue I solved with this which unfortunately blocks the headphone jack, so I got Bluetooth headphones. This means I have some audio lag which isn't great, but I have no controller lag. Most of the games I care about playing are N64 / PS1 / PSP so I have no issues with needing more powerful hardware... although I am thinking about upgrading to something like an S8 so I could play Dolphin games.

    I think a 2-in-1 is as close as you can come to a 'perfect' game station. You have the required hardware for on-the-go gaming, it's not too bulky to carry around (unlike fully fledged gaming laptop) and when you want to do some sit-down hardcore gaming (Steam) you can plug it into an external GPU. I haven't committed to this idea yet since I have a decent gaming PC, and my phone is holding down all my emulation needs at the moment. But this seems like the best of both worlds.


u/Jess_Starfire · 2 pointsr/DCcomics

I am hyped for KH3, that game play trailer!!!

Also I agree, Nintendo has me hyped. The switch has been the only console ever I have gotten at launch and preordered. I don't regret getting it all all. There's been some minor hiccups with the system but nothing major. Multiplayer is a little hard with only the joycons. My boyfriend and I initially picked up only one pro controller but we are looking to get one more. We're actually probably going to get this instead of a second pro controller.

u/Dementat_Deus · 2 pointsr/funny

Everything I've read about adapting Sony controllers to a tablet basically say that you will always get some lag due to the bluetooth version conversion that has to happen. The only successful way I've been satisfied with using a Sony controller on a tablet is by doing this DIY. That only works though if you don't need analog.

To answer your question though, I've been using the 8Bitdo F30 controller. It's basically a bluetooth SNES controller with a couple extra analog sticks, but because of how thin it is my hands start cramping after an hour or two. That's why I'm probably going to get the SN30 Pro+ later this year when it realeases. It looks like it is going to be comparable to holding a PS or Wii Pro controller.

As far as input lag, the way I use the tablet, the controller and tablet are never more than 2 ft away from each other, but usually they are about 6-10 inches apart. At that distance I don't notice any lag at all. I did some testing of it a while back though, and I can sometimes kinda notice a little bit of lag every now and then starting at 6 ft but at that distance I have trouble seeing detail on the screen anyway. I do have an older tablet (about 6 yrs old), so part of the lag is probably due to the tablet using an older version of bluetooth.

Build quality wise, I would say that the 8Bitdo controllers are on par with the big 3's controllers. I toss mine in my messenger bag and haven't broken it in the 2 years I've had the controller. It does have lower profile analog sticks than most controllers though, and I know that bothers some people. It has a better battery life than any Sony or Microsoft controller that I've used, but battery life still doesn't compare to to the Wii U Pro controller.

u/fuckthekids · 2 pointsr/Games

There's actually some pretty good telescoping BT controllers for mobile. I have this one and it makes my phone feel a lot like a PSP.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077L8656T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.mbMDb1QECABQ

Something like this would allow you to hold the phone one handed while using a stylus with the right hand. The real trick is finding a controller that isn't total garbàge

Seems okayish to carry around, i wish they were connected via usb but oh well compromises.

But yeah biggest problem is UI and also that pc games arent gameplay optimized for short sessions.

u/zkkaiser · 2 pointsr/cemu

I've been doing the same thing! This is the controller I've been using it works so flawlessly it's kind of criminal I was able to get the 'Switch' experience for less than $40...

I use Moonlight over 4g and mainly use steam-link when at home, because I could never get steam-link over 4g to work properly even after forwarding the ports but both work pretty much equally well.

Newer, smaller one: https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-Wireless-Adapter-Windows-Packaging/dp/B0785SFKYF/

Older, larger one: https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Adapter-Windows-10/dp/B0785RHK5Q

I'm just basing this on the pictures shown on each product page. The older one is that big black rectangle with the USB connector sticking out of it, the newer one is, well, still a black rectangle, but it's smaller and the body is similar in size to the USB connector.

Looks like a bunch of orders for the new one on Amazon got mixed in with old ones, so I would just walk in to a Best Buy if you have one nearby and just buy one there so that you don't have to deal with any headache of wondering if you'll get the right one from Amazon. The retail packaging for the newer one comes in a small, primarily white box, whereas the old one is in a larger, totally green box.

I have both 8bitdo SNES controllers:

  • SN 30 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VAQG5GQ/)
  • SN 30 Pro (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BNR6HG9)

    The SN30 looks pretty much exactly like the original, except the text says "8Bitdo GamePad Bluetooth Controller" instead of "Super Nintendo Entertainment System". They're both great, and I've gotten pretty good scores in Tetris when playing alone.

    But when more controllers are connected, and I'm playing multiplayer Tetris, there's an ever-so-slight input lag that makes me consistently make mistakes. Just switching to the left Joy-Con directional buttons is better.

    So my main hope with this official one was that, since it's essentially a Pro controller with missing buttons and sticks, the input lag issue wouldn't exist. I haven't confirmed it. I'll do it this Friday at the office where we play Tetris regularly.

    The fact that it also looks like the official one is just a plus ;)
u/SmilesUndSunshine · 2 pointsr/finalfantasytactics

I like the controllers with the phone clips because there's more control with how the screen is angled. I don't like the controllers that attach to the sides of the phone (like a Game Gear). I have a Gamesir G4S. It's quite good in feel. The only issue I have is it randomly disconnects now and then, which isn't too big a deal for a game like FFT.

A lot of people like the 8bitdo variants with a separate clip, but they're smaller than I'd like.

You can find a lot of info for different controllers on /r/emulationonandroid

u/boxsterguy · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

I have this one and I don't notice any input lag over what would be noticeable with a normal Switch Pro controller when using it with my Switch. You do not need a separate dongle for the Switch. The ones 8bitdo sell are for bluetooth-less devices, like the mini consoles (Wii accessory-style connector to Bluetooth) or original consoles (SNES to Bluetooth, NES to Bluetooth, Genesis to Bluetooth). On Switch or Raspberry Pi or a laptop or PC with built-in Bluetooth will work just fine. If you have a PC without Bluetooth, pretty much any dongle will work just fine.

u/guybrush3000 · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

The newer, less snes one, with the snes purple buttons. The only other one is the gameboy colors one, which is not a palette I can get down with.

Pro Controller is still the best but the SN30 is a good option for a second controller or if you need that nice OG dpad for retro and classic games.

u/animatohnn · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

I'm traveling this June too across the Atlantic and this is what I will be taking with me after some thinking/research.

  1. Case: Mumba Carrying Case
    Great protection + lots of space especially if you have a grip on your console. Decent price to what you're getting.

  2. Battery Pack: RAVPower 26800 PD Power Bank
    26800mAh would be the power limit that planes allow onboard. They ask for less than 100 Wh.To get the Wh of a power bank, use this formula (mAh)/1000 x (V) = (Wh) (V is usually 3.7 for these types of packs)

  3. Controller: 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro Bluetooth Gamepad (G Classic Edition)
    Slim and portable and works great with the types of games I play (one of them being Octopath!)

  4. Stand: HORI Compact Stand - Zelda Edition
    As most people recommend, a stand is a great thing to carry so you can play without straining your hands from the weight of the switch. This one lets you charge your switch and is designed for it, not a repurposed phone stand.


    And obviously your charger, usb-C cables, headphones, joy con straps.

The 8bitDo SN30 Pro+ is really awesome especially if you’re gonna get into side scrollers or strategy games and the NES and SNES stuff.

It’s super comfortable and pairs very easily to the switch and has a dominant d-pad vs analog stick like the pro controller has.

u/CaspianX2 · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Given that a lot of the indies still require the use of extra buttons that the official NES/SNES controllers don't have, you might want to compromise and get the 8BitDo SN30 Pro+. It's been getting really good reviews, and it's both clearly intended to cater to old-school tastes while also being flexible for use in more modern games.

Here’s the link

Here’s a review from nintendolife.com

There’s another one, the SF30 Pro that looks like a Snes controller with analogue sticks that i think works great, it goes for £34,98

SF30 Pro

u/MariaKorolov · 1 pointr/GoogleCardboard

I've been looking for one for a long time. I got the iPega controller (http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Controller-iPhone-Samsung/dp/B00GNXMXA8) which has iPhone 5s right in the title, but could not get it to work. It was supposed to support the "iCade" mode, but I couldn't get it working even with the non-VR games that were supposed to support iCade.

If anyone has a controller that works, I'd love to hear about it!

u/OldAccountIsGone · 1 pointr/lgg2

I do, Keyboards and Mice work fine, never had a problem with Flash drives either (I used 32GB). For Emulation I would recommend a Bluetooth controller because I tried it with an Xbox 360 controller and the huge ass cable was a big hassle so I gave up and got a Bluetooth one. Here it is for the US, 29 dollars. I got mine in Germany for around 31 dollars and don't regret it at all, most games work out of the box like GTA SA, GT Racing 2, Real Racing 3, Modern Combat games, Dead Trigger 1 and 2 and so on. Emulators require a 2 minute configuration but that's not too bad. Especially awesome if you have a Slimport HDMI adapter and play with it on your TV, which is not possible with wired controllers.

EDIT: Here, I found it in white for 23.50 dollars

u/azazel0821 · 1 pointr/OculusGo

That one looks like a good one, but I personally haven't tried it. If I was buying now...

I have not yet figured out how I'll do controls. I was going to wait until the blog author posts an official parts list. In the mean time I was going to pair it with my 8bitdo SFC30 controller.

u/hidaviki · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

Oh, to your accidentally drop issue:
I've owned this game before on PS3 and PS4 and had this issue even on those gamepads with proper dpad. The problem is in a heated battle you press the dpad a bit harder than usual and if you do you accidentally make an "up" command even though you press left or right (because you press really hard on left or right with a little bit of "up" pressure which triggers the up command internally in the gamepad).

Just saying the lack of true dpad actually solved this issue with the joycons because all 3 directions are separated. I've been playing this game on PS3 and PS4 for about a year with 2 friends and we all 3 occasssionally had this issue on other platforms. The JoyCons fixed that!

If you really want to play with a true dpad though I can recommend the SNES controller by 8bitdo which supports the Switch: https://www.amazon.com/8bitdo-SFC30-Wireless-Bluetooth-Controller/dp/B00Y0LUQFE/
While having a true dpad, it also doesn't have this occassionally up press by accident. We tried it!

u/WayGroovy · 1 pointr/RetroGamingNetwork
u/dagit · 1 pointr/wiiu

The 8bitdo snes controller says it can act as a wiimote. I have one and they are great, but I use it with my PC so I can't speak to the WiiU support. Just make sure to get the wireless version as the cheaper model doesn't do bluetooth.

u/ZeroHex · 1 pointr/gadgets

Get a cheap tablet for about $60 and treat yourself to a nice controller for another $25 and you basically have a portable NES/SNES/Sega Genesis/Dreamcast machine that you can use instead?

u/Scrainator · 1 pointr/AndroidQuestions

I suggest taking a look at this controller from 8bitdo. I use a variant of it for emulation and I absolutely love it. Only thing though is if you want to clip it to your phone you have to buy the mount separately and it doesn’t seem the mount officially supports the Core either so you might run the risk of incompatibility.

Awesome thanks for the help! The 8bitdo controllers I have are these ones
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Y0LUQFE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Will these natively connect to the SNES classic? or is there some sort of adapter I need. The only games I really want to play that I haven't already are: the pocky and rocky games, gundam wing endless waltz, Final Fantasy III, The Donkey Kong Country Trilogy, Chrono Trigger, and Mega Man X2. If the SNES classic plays these back with minimal audio and video differences I'll be set! I know Earthworm Jim 2 suffers from poor audio but I'l prob never play that.

u/AnEmbarrassedGiraffe · 1 pointr/8bitdo

Thanks for your response. That sounds like it may be a good workaround, though I don't have access to a Wiimote at the moment, so that's an additional expense... But it's a good idea.

I'm thinking it actually looks like this version of the controller is the one I'm looking for?

Seems to be a slightly older model that isn't on their website, but is marketed as being PC bluetooth compatible, so maybe I'll give it a try. Hopefully it will work with a superNT in the future, I'm considering getting one.

Edit: I'm going to give this method a go with the newer 2.4G model and see if I can fool Windows into thinking it is a WiiController... I'll report back my findings for science.

u/granddaddyfunk · 1 pointr/SteamController

Might there be some kind of software that would trick it into treating the Steam Controller like a traditional gamepad? I'd like to get a couple of these at some point: https://amzn.com/B00Y0LUQFE

Both controllers work with the Xbox wireless adapter or USB - this form of wireless is what's used in Xbox consoles, supports all the features (unlike Bluetooth, as I mentioned above), and is far more reliable IMO.

You do also have the option of purchasing a Bluetooth adapter for your PC, they're about the same price as this adapter, but if you're getting it purely for the controller, I would definitely go with the Xbox wireless adapter for the reasons I mentioned.

u/_bigb · 1 pointr/nesclassicmods

Good catch with 2.4g vs. bluetooth, I always forget about that.

The biggest differences between each 8bitdo line are aesthetics and features such as rumble, analog sticks, motion controls, triggers and turbo:

  • The SN30 is a base model that only features a d-pad, face buttons and a set of L and R buttons on the top. It resembles a SNES/SFC controller and works over Bluetooth and USB-C.

  • The SN30 Pro takes the SN30 form factor and adds rumble, analog sticks, motion controls, turbo, and a second set of triggers. Still works over Bluetooth and USB-C.

  • The NS30 Pro 2 has all the features of a SN30 Pro controller with a slightly different layout. The second set of shoulder buttons are set inside the first set.

  • The SN30 Pro+ is a SN30 Pro controller in a form factor that adds grips similar to a Sony Dualshock controller. Still works over Bluetooth and USB-C.

    Features

    It all boils down to what features you want. The SN30 is a great replacement for a stock SNES/NES controller and is about $10 US cheaper than the other models. The Pro and Pro+ will also work great with the NES Classic, and will allow you to play PS1 games that require analog sticks.

    Aesthetics

    8bitdo has a number of color variants for each of their lines that have no effect on how the controllers operate. The SN30 GP line are a set of SN30 controllers stylized like the original Game Boy Pocket line. There's no functional difference between a SN30 and SN30 GP controller other than how it looks. The SN30 Pro line has two options: One that matches the original Game Boy and another that looks like a U.S. Super Nintendo controller.

    And there's the newer NS30 Pro2, which has an NES option that should match well with the NES Classic.

    For me, I like the SN30 Pro because it's a good compromise with the SNES controller form factor combined with modern features. The triggers aren't great for modern games, so I only really use my SN30 Pro for emulators and retro-style games.

    I already own a set of Dualshock 4 controllers, so I didn't see a need to have grips on my 8bitdo controller. But if I were using an 8bitdo controller as my daily controller, I would strongly consider getting the SN30 Pro+ for the added grips.

    8bitdo doesn't do a great job at describing the differences between each of their controller lines. Some sort of feature grid would be extremely helpful.

Once Amazon processes my refund, I'm going to get one of the new revisions with the horizontal start and select buttons instead of the slanted ones and see if it too has the problem (link below). They don't look as good as the originals, but at this point I really just want a controller in this form factor that works the way it's supposed to.

This one is themed to resemble the Game Boy: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GKLG3ZP?pf_rd_p=d1f45e03-8b73-4c9a-9beb-4819111bef9a&pf_rd_r=BG1RRKBZ5JFADPN2EA1R&th=1

4 Controllers, 4 Extension... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MSHR6JJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share - it’s the adapter for 4 controllers, 4 controllers, and 4 extension cords for $50

Regarding 1) You've got basically three choices that I can think of.

A) You're going to need to use a custom PCB and build the controls yourself

B) You take apart a USB controller and use those PCBs and all the hardware from that controller to build a control yourself. This is similar to the first, but all the hardware is in one place and a little easier to get your hands on.

C) Just use an external Bluetooth or USB controller. There are some pretty decent ones that should work with the Pi and are designed to be used with a Phone or Tablet, so won't look bad at all if you mount a Pi with screen to them. Something like this one.

Regarding 3) There are tons of screens available up to 7 or 10 inches. Just have a look at aliexpress or ebay. You could even recycle an old tablet screen into an HDMI monitor. Sound is even easier, since the Pi has a 3.5mm audio out jack. All you need to do is wire a couple piezo speakers and a small 5v amp into the audio out jack, or alternatively get a audio Hat for the Pi that has an amp built in (this may be an issue if you get a Screen that plugs into the GPIO).

u/SD4k · 1 pointr/galaxynote10

I ended up getting the this beboncool contoller instead. The glap was waaay too pricey/bulky for me. Surprisingly it fits my note 10+ with a slim case on. Super comfortable too. Also I hate the name glap lol. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T4JXVJL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_7fhGDbWTSYBJX

I think ds4s are only supposed to work correctly with xperia devices. Unless things have changed in the past few years all solutions require some form of root.

I have an alternative solution tho. Instead of the ds4 why not check out 8bitdo's sn30 pro plus. Mine should be arriving tomorrow, but the one review i read makes it seem as great as i hoped. its more similar to a ds4 then an xbox controller, it supports android over bluetooth, and you can charge it with usb c instead of that god aweful micro usb port the ds4 has. Also based on pictures its got a mount for phone but idk if that comes with it.

\> Idk if it's really a switch controller

Well it says Switch on the box. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

8Bitdo Sn30 Pro+ I'm new on the nintendo switch world, but this one says it has rumble

u/Selenium81 · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

Actually, there *are* third-party joy-cons out there. Click

OP, there are a lot of solid third-party pro-style controllers out there. I have three of them and they're all really good(and affordable!) Links are below.

This one has NFC

This one is super versatile and has that whole "modern retro" thing going on

My fave as far as aesthetics are concerned

This is a PC controller but it works with Switch if you turn on the "pro controller wired communication" setting

u/imacleod · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

https://amzn.to/2xQuXxU 8bitdo pro+ available for preorder

u/Cheeetooos · 1 pointr/predaddit

We aren't doing a push present, but I was just shopping for my wife's birthday and settled on these slippers. Alternatively, to go with the gaming theme, I just purchased this controller. It works with the Switch (and PC) and has an awesome d-pad. The same company makes more retro styled controllers but this one is brand new and felt great for old school Mario as well as some Monster Hunter World on PC. I literally got it yesterday, but I'm pretty happy with it so far.

u/CSSFerret · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

This is the one I have. It doesn't work, and they even say as much on their website:

>You can not wake up your Switch wirelessly with this controller.

u/Expat123456 · 1 pointr/nvidiashield

The 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro+ controller is a good alternative.

The Shield controller will be getting a refresher soon in the rumor mill. It would be nice since I am really satisfied with the Shield controller.

I like the PS4 dpad more, giving it priority over an Xbox controller.

u/younglump · 1 pointr/giantbomb

I checked out the Sn30 Pro Plus with the grips on it and wow I'm blown away by how the great this dpad is. The price point is perfect for my needs as I haven't needed gyro or hd rumble for a switch game in a while. The clickyness of everything made mon hun, dragon quest, and Celeste such a blast, like I almost regret playing 60 hours of that game with analog sticks D: Hoping to check out Hollow Knight soon as well. I guess I'm just bummed that you can't use it to turn on the Switch but beside that this controller's a super good one.

Looks like your intuition about astroturfing is valid, although the adjusted rating isn't much lower.

u/ronfar623 · 0 pointsr/emulation

I highly recommend the Daqi M100 for phone gaming. It's far more weight balanced due to the center positioning, fits almost everything, and the buttons and sticks are about on par with the PS Vita:

Well, here's some tips!


If you are going full digital, I really recommend you to buy at least a 128 gb microSDXC card, that way you can hold a good amount of games.

If you can, buy the yearly subscription of Switch Online, while it has NES Online and sweet deals and all of that stuff, the cloud save is the best thing it can offer, so that you can have your save files... saved from accidental stuff that hopefully won't happen to your switch.

Pro Controller is a recommended if you want traditional controller, but if you want a cheaper but durable controller, 8bitdo's SN30 Pro's the best one for that. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GK8J3V8?th=1

And of course, the bigger the screen, the better the gameplay, so play it docked. c;

u/telosucciona · 0 pointsr/smashbros

got a 4 gc controller + adapter + extension chords, all for $55 lol. They work great too, not like top-level competitive viable probably but i pull off some frame tight combos with em no issues, and can now play smash / mk with big groups of friends without having to spend a fortune on controllers. If any of the controllers come with issues theyll send a replacement pretty fast too. Heres the link if interested: (seems like they pushed the price up $5 now) https://www.amazon.com/Controllers-Extension-Cables-4-Port-Adapter-Set/dp/B07MSHR6JJ

The 8bitdo sn30 pro+ is just a way better version that already exists.

Not official but super dependable and cheap. I got this bundle and they feel exactly like official ones from 2001. Plus it comes with a transparent green one which will make you the prettiest, most popular girl at the Smash tourney.

u/muftimuftimufti · -5 pointsr/emulation

You described an Nvidia shield. Which is the exact same SoC. Or any of dozens of alternative options that meet your requirements. There have been for years.

The cell phone in your pocket literally does this. There are controller mounting accessories. You can literally use any controller you want via Bluetooth or USB. There's an $8 controller mount on Amazon. There are side mounted wireless controllers of every style and variation; https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-Retractable-Telescopic-Joystick/dp/B077L8656T

https://www.ebay.com/i/372653044435

There are dozens of those. All without broken controller drift issues. And of you really wanted to, you can use the switch controllers on any Android device already.

Nearly every modern phone has HDMI out. In fact I don't know a single androis phone released in the last 3 years that doesn't have one.

And a longer battery. And high end phones absolutely decimate the switch hardware. And higher resolution screens.

I have no idea how someone can pretend to sound so technically savvy, but know next to nothing about anything they're saying.

It is not a life changer for the emulation scene. Android is already a targeted platform and has been for years.

Absolute fucking nutter. Look at the effort you put into being completely uninformed. Mind boggling.

Even a quick Google reveals mainstream articles showcasing the same concept; https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gizmodo.com.au/2017/05/how-to-turn-your-smartphone-into-an-almost-nintendo-switch/amp

You can already do everything you want to do. And all it would have taken was five minutes of effort.
