  • Amazing Receiver!
Works perfectly, and when paired with the M30 gamepad, it blows away anything else on the market.

  • Works perfectly with NES and SNES Classic Editions!!
Love that we can play wireless now! Not super hard to pair and works perfectly with the the NES and SNES Classic Editions. Will pair with any 8Bitdo BLUETOOTH controller. Link to the controller that we got and like: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08Y9QLCKM?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

  • A great item that solves the greatest flaw in the SNES classic
One of the biggest problems with the SNES classic (and NES classic but I don't have one) is the short controller cables. It is highly impractical to play and sit so close to the TV. This receiver solves that problem and allows you to use a large number of controllers with the system. I have now dedicated an unused PS3 controller as my primary SNES controller and it works perfectly. When the receiver was first released the buttons weren't mapped correctly on the PS3 controller so I would not have recommended this at that time. Since then they've put out a new update for the receiver and it's perfect. If you buy this item, make sure to update its firmware before using it. As an added bonus, this receiver allows you to go back to the SNES menu by pressing down + select on the controller. You can't do that with the pack-in SNES controllers and must actually get up to press the reset button on the system. At the end of the day, the SNES controllers as they're included with the classic console are not practical. That leaves you with two options: buying controller extension cables or buying a wireless receiver like this one. I actually have both and both are good options. I like to use the wireless receiver because it lets me toggle back to the SNES menu without leaving the couch. ... show more

  • For Switch Pro Controller on Wii U
I had a hard time finding out if this would work connecting a Switch Pro Controller to a Wii U so here's some info from tests I've done. It works. Put the receiver into a wiimote and sync the receiver to Switch Pro Controller and it controls perfectly. It works with Wii U games as well as VC/eShop games. A few notes... The Home button wont work on the Pro Controller, and if you press the Home button on the Gamepad, the controls from the Switch Controller will spazz out. All you have to do is, leave the menu that popped up from hitting the Home button (go back into the game), uplug the receiver and plug it back in. You don't even have to re-sync it, the controller will still be tethered the the receiver. For VC/eshop games, this method doesn't always fix the 'hitting the Home button on the Gamepad' quirk. In this case, you unplug the receiver, restart the game (from the menu when you hit the ZR button on the Gamepad), and plug the receiver back in. Anyway, this fulfilled what I was hopping it would do. Hope this helps some of you guys. ... show more

  • Junk - edited: Acceptable
Does not work. Controller connects but does not accept inputs to the Retro console. Very frustrating!! Edit: if. you're pairing 8bitDo's controllers you'll need to trial and error what mode will work when connecting this. It could *REALLY* use a manual, or a guide to connecting and sync with *their own products* at least. However once I got it working, it works well. ... show more

  • Great with SN30 pro
Worked perfectly with SN30pro. I really only wanted it to plug into my SNES classic mini but this actually allows you to use it as a regular USB dongle too so you can play on PC or Switch.

  • Warning: you will regret buying this
I bought these hoping I'd get to use the Wii U controllers I've had sitting for a couple years. Upon getting them I knew that I'd have to probably play with them a bit, mainly due to the bad reviews on here already. But what I got was way worse than others actually described. First, I could not update the firmware on either of the two I bought with the app supplied on the 8bitdo site. It would not work. Now, according to the site, the latest firmware is v1.19. But the two I have are v1.16. Furthermore, their own repository for firmware only goes up to v1.16. I don't know if the app has new firmware or not though. Now here's my main issue. There is a major issue registering buttons that severly effects N64/PS1 gameplay. The d-pad and joystick mirror each other. L1 and L2 mirror each other, as does R1 and R2. Even worse is an known preexisting issue in that the right joystick does not work with this receiver at all. So you immediately lose access to a good portion of your controller. With these errors, I can maybe play mario kart 64, but other N64 games are out of the question, not to mention PS1 games which actually use the L2/R2 for... you know, L2 and R2. But as said, N64 games are completely out save a few titles that use little buttons. The right stick is usually the C buttons (acting similar to a gamecubes C stick) on a normal working receiver/controller. Retroarch actually has a genius way to fixing this no right stick issue with a C swap button. With that, you press the button and A,B,X,Y become the C buttons while C swap is being held down. But C swap is the R2 button. L2 is the Z trigger as well. You don't have L3 or R3 either so there is no way to map all N64 buttons without overlapping. It just isn't possible. This issue is only an 8bitdo issue as well. I have a myarcade snes classic controller and the L2 and R2 buttons work fine. This (myarcade) controller is absolutely horrible with it's constant disconnecting, but with access to these two buttons, it's better than the 8bitdo receiver at half the price. I tried to be as detailed as possible here. Ignore the good rating. This isn't a quality item. 0/5 ... show more
