There are few good controllers with clicky D-Pads, and there are even fewer with GOOD clicky D-Pads. This is the diamond in the rough. Do not make the mistake of getting any other impression. If you like clicky D-Pads, here's your controller. If you don't, then that's not the fault of the controller. Straight up, if you want a good way to play NES/SNES classics, or any game that requires precise digital controls on Switch or PC, this is it. Just buy it. But if you want a few more details, here you go... The controller fits comfortably in my medium to large sized hands. It should feel fine whatever your hand size, I think. The shoulder buttons line up well with my fingers, with the tips of them landing on the L2 and R2 buttons and the lower part resting on the primary L and R buttons. The D-Pad and buttons all rest is comfortable places, and the (+) and (-) buttons are in good spots that you won't hit by accident. This also goes for the home and record buttons (which visually appear as heart and star buttons, respectively). While you can press down all directions at once, it's really hard unless you actually try, which you're NEVER going to do by accident. Using it normally, the game will just go in the direction you push without any shenanigans. No, "I swear I didn't push up!" Just good functionality. The downside is, there's a reason you can press all four directions at once at all. When you do that, the game counts that as an L3 or R3 press. The problem is that it's not easy to push all the directions down at once, which is good for all cases except when you actually want to use L3 or R3. But lets face it; you aren't getting this controller to play any games that make frequent, mandatory use of the L3 or R3 buttons. Any game that requires you to do that is a game this controller wasn't meant to be used for, anyway. But if you NEED to pres L3 or R3 occasionally, the functionality is there. This controller is an excellent accessory to your joy-cons and/or pro controller. It will never replace either of those things for what those are good for, but for other things this will do it. Make no mistake; if there's a game where you NEED the analog functionality of a right and left analog stick, this won't do the job. But that's not what it's for. The D-Pad on the pro controller sucks, and the directional buttons on the joycons aren't great for some types of games, like shooters or fighting games. This gives you the option to use both a great D-Pad as well as directional buttons at the same time. And some games actually benefit from having digital controls for the Right Stick as well. EDIT: Previously, the Left D-Pad could only fuction as the Left Analog Stick, but a recent firmware update now allows you to switch the functions of the Left D-Pad and the directional buttons around. Now, you can make the DPad work as the directional buttons instead of the Left Analog stick! So for games games like Tetris 99, where you can't use the Left Analog stick to move the pieces, you can simply press and hold (-) and the left directional button (<) for a few seconds, and it will map the Left Stick to the directional buttons instead! Now you can move pieces with the D-Pad and change targets with the directional buttons! And you can easily change it back by pressing the same button combination again! This gets rid of the only real downside this controller had, so hats off to 8bitdo. If your controller did't come with the firmware update preinstalled, you can easily download the update for 8bitdo's support page. Just Google "8bitdo support" and you'll find the page, which will have all the latest firmware updates for their controllers ready to install quickly and painlessly. Also, on top of all the other cool features it has, it also has turbo functionality. While in PC mode, instead of using the star button to take screenshots, you can hold a button and press star to activate turbo for that button. It's a nice way of giving functionality to a button that would otherwise be useless on PC. All in all, this is a very nice controller. Even far beyond the appeal of the Switch, this controller offers great functionality for any PC or phone, and should serve you for years. I'm definitely hanging onto this this for the foreseeable future as my controller of choice for any game that doesn't require an analog stock to play properly.

I’m really digging this controller based on my first 12 hours of use (felt like xmas :) I will post back come end of January if I feel differently about this controller for sure. It is great enough that I am going to buy one for my lil brother to give his iPad Pro non-work life too :) So up front, I notice a lot of reviews don’t talk about iPadPro support and I didn’t have any issues (in fact, the only issue I had was with their Zero 2 controller paired with a Lite and N30 Pro in 3-player mode - no issues with the Lite) I tried as many emulators as I could get my hands on and had a solid experience. I’m a big 2D gamer so take what you will from this review. In comparison to the Zero 2, it’s a breath of fresh air - the Zero 2 cramps your hands quickly due to its tiny size, I feel like my hands could breathe with the Lite. I had less pairing issues (the Lite just pairs on iPadOS and Android, the two platforms I tried). While I don’t think it’s the fault of this controller - just noticed some emulators register A/B and X/Y the opposite way - not sure why. I found myself remapping buttons. Given a best-in-class controller will cost you $60 (or even $100! but we are talking the mainstream Playstation and Xbox controllers), most knockoffs are $30-40, and the Zero 2 was $20, $25 is a very fair price for this controller. As others said, I wish it had analog sticks but for $25, I’m not exactly expecting it. I have probably an embarrassing number of hours on my NES and SNES to compare this controller experience to (and mind you, S/NES were *wired* controllers) and was really pleased. I busted out Castlevania and Mega Man 2 for nostalgia purposes and it played precisely as I remembered it (wirelessly and emulated!). I also played Space Megaforce, a shooter I can never get bored with, and was shocked this controller did better than the N30 Pro - the D-Pad on that unit is noticeably clunky and the one on the Lite is smooth as butter. I like how there is a physical switch to switch between Switch/Windows bluetooth protocols - while I don’t own a Switch - this must make pairing much much easier than having to bust out an instruction manual and have to remember what button to push when you turn it on. Someone mentioned the Zero 2 often turns on while in your pocket so I was pleased, on the Lite, to notice the “Home” button that turns on the unit is recessed so while I don’t have any direct experience of throwing this controller in my backpack, I’m clear this one feature will help prevent it from turning on and draining your battery on the go. as others have commented, I’m glad it’s USB-C but to be fair, it really doesn’t matter to me and in fact, because the Zero 2 had micro-USB, I was able to use a 3-way charging cable (lightning, micro-USB, and USB-C) to charge both controllers at once overnight so you make the call which works better for you. When Apple releases the update to let my Xbox series X controller pair with my iPad Pro, I have a more direct experience comparing this controller to a $60 controller. Overall, very pleased with this controller and waiting on input from another reviewer in regards to phantom inputs on the iPad to see if I can replicate the same behavior on the same game. As it stands, this one is definitely a keeper and would agree with another reviewer, stop reading reviews and just get the Lite :)

I bought this controller mostly to play emulated GBA games on an Android (Samsung A8) tablet. I needed a controller with no sticks so that it would be safe to toss in a backpack to carry around and wouldn't be subject to drift, and this is exactly what I needed. I legit love this controller. It is small but I find that the rounded edge design still allows me to hold it comfortably with a looser grip so that my hands don't cramp. It was also really easy to pair with my tablet and map the buttons with my emulator. And let's be honest, it's just great-looking! The only reason why I dinged it two stars is... After some time of owning this controller, it can't keep a charge at all! I wish I had looked at some of the 1 star reviews so I could know that was a potential issue. I now cannot use my controller unless it's plugged in, which sucks since I used to take it on the go with me a lot. It also kind of defeats the purpose of it being Bluetooth wireless since it's still tethered to something. If you don't get a defective unit, I'd say this controller is easily 5 stars, but it seems like they have a quality issue with many of their units, so you could be rolling the dice on what you'll get, which is unfortunate.
