    It feels amazing to use I’ve had zero issues connecting it to my PC and phone i havent tried to connect it to my switch just yet but I imagine it would be seamless and easy, Ive used the SN30 Pro which is the same form factor minus the handles and even that felt great in my hands so I couldn’t resist buying the standard controller form.

    It seems to work well with all applications. I am very satisfied, but I do wish the instructions were better as they really didn't explain much.

    Great controller - a perfect balance of price, quality, battery life, compatibility and best of all, hall effect joysticks. There's no point to spend more on any controller that doesn't have hall effect sticks as they will be destined to have stick drift sooner or later. Also pretty impressed with 8bitdo's packaging, very high quality and cut to fit the controller perfectly.

    Best claw style controller

    Before i write a long review ill just say first if you play CLAW and want PlayStation style controller with hall effect sticks for BR games just buy this one for now. I tried the new Wolverine v3 tournament edition and returned it after two days. If you dont play claw id say that controller is the best to get period. But since i play double claw the PlayStation style controller is best for how i play. Until playstation goes back to hall effect joysticks this will be my main controller or untill i learn to solder hall effect sticks to a PS controller. The one thing i dont like about this controller are the thumbstick design. They are to wide and just feel weird. I recommend either switching the thumbsticks with dome sticks and if you do make sure you drill the inside of the thumbstick so you can lower the stick down a bit. Under the top plate of the controller there is a circuit board which if that wasnt there then you wouldnt have to mode the thumbstick but since its there you will have to drill out a little to lower it a bit. I hade some laying around and did this and the controller is now perfect. It only has two back buttons but it you play double claw it doesnt matter. I do sorta wish it had trigger stops but thats just me being picky.

    The controller feels great and the battery life is superb. If you need a bluetooth controller, this is definitely one of the best

    Great product, first time owner of 8bit. I normally buy offficial products from console manufacturer, but decided to try it 8bit out. This ps controller style works so well and feels high quality in use. I use it for mostly computer games. Blutooth sync up 100%, no issue. Turns on and off blutooth and it resync 100%. I am replacing xbox one x controller with this one.

    Looks and feels great. Had no problem connecting to a MacBook. Love the classic controller feeling. I think it may be more comfortable for longer sessions than my modern series x controller.

    It was very easy to set up. It was able to be set up to multiple devices. It works with android, apple, and windows products. You do have the abolity to reconfigure some of the controls. It made game plat that more enjoyable

    Hall sensors are smooth. I use it for retro gaming and it is perfect for that, it's okay for everything else.

    I have used the controller with my Mac and an Android tablet. Works great with both. Have not tried with my Switch yet if it works well with that, then 5 stars.
