    • Great for SNES SMW hacks
The media could not be loaded. Grand Poo World 3 is out!! Super Mario world hacks are a lot of fun. Since they are really fast paced I needed either a corded controller or a no lag controller (no Bluetooth). This controller works great! Feels a little cheap in the hand but plays absolutely GREAT! Plays like the original SNES controller (I played years of that system as a child when it first came out). Can't feel any lag even though it's probably around 4ms. I've never had a button not register. I have only played about 4 hours at a time so I don't know how long it lasts. Seems like any usb-c will charge it, even my high speed 100watt usb-c PD charger will charge the controller. An amazing SNES controller! I'll probably buy a second for when this breaks. I haven't used any other functions like macros or home/screenshot button. ... show more

    • Great SNES style Switch controller that works with Switch Button Remapping.
If you are buying this controller, you probably care a lot about the D-Pad. From my experience I would say that the D-Pad on this controller is excellent. It is a good size and feel and most importantly it does not register any false diagonals like the 8bitDo controller lineup. The buttons are also very good and feel remarkably similar to North American SNES controller buttons. X & Y even have the concave shape. The shoulder buttons are also great and it is easy to differentiate between ZR & R as well as ZL & L because of the way they are shaped. As for the sticks, they are essentially Joy Con sticks. If you are okay with Joy Con sticks, you will be fine with these. I suspect if you are a big First Person Shooter fan who is gaming primarily by using the two sticks that this controller is probably not for you. If you are someone playing a lot of 2D games, Tetris, Mario Maker 2, and other similar games this is near perfection. I know others have said they have problems pairing the controller to the dongle, but I have encountered no such issues. Make sure you have Pro Controller Wired Communication set to ON and it works perfectly. All you need to do is attach the dongle to one of the USB ports, press the button on it and press Start on the controller. It works immediately and without any issues whatsoever. Also the fact that it is 2.4GHz is a real advantage over Bluetooth when it comes to latency. The game-changer for me is the fact that all the buttons are remappable with the onboard Switch Button Mapping software. I play a lot of Mario games and use the claw-grip on my controllers. As such I am using my right index and middle fingers for button presses rather than my thumb. In this configuration I cannot hit R or ZR. The problem is that with the more recent 2D Mario games on the Switch, Shiro Mouri has taken over for Takashi Tezuka as director and has stopped ZL and L mirroring ZR and R. So, for example, on New Super Mario Bros U (on Wii U) you can do the mid-air twirl by pressing ZL, L, ZR, or R, but on New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe (on Switch) ZL and L do nothing. Recently, Shiro Mouri decided to map menu and other functions to ZL & L in Super Mario Wonder, making it impossible to use the mid-air twirl if you use the claw-grip. Due to these choices I am forced to use a controller that I can swap ZL & L with ZR & R. This controller allows me to do that. Very few 3rd party Switch controllers have the ability to be remapped in the Switch software and the ones that do are almost all 8bitDo. If you do not know, 8bitDo controllers have THE WORST D-Pads of any 3rd Party controller. They constantly register false diagonals. Playing something like Tetris or Mario is nearly impossible since pieces will constantly change lanes in Tetris when you try to pull them down and Mario will climb every vine he passes when you try to run past them. Unfortunately 8bitDo dominates the 3rd Party controller market so it is very difficult to get a good controller with a smaller profile that has a decent D-Pad. This Retro-Bit controller has an awesome D-Pad. Lastly, I want to address the things this controller is missing. It does not have any kind of Rumble. Personally, I dislike rumble and always turn it off, so this is not an issue for me. It does not have an NFC reader. If you need to scan in an Amiibo, you can just use the right joy con. It does not have motion controls. This to me is a small drawback, since it means I cannot play Super Mario Galaxy or Odyssey with this controller. Lastly, it doesn't wake up the Switch. I have found that the 3rd Party controllers that do wake up the Switch like the PowerA Nano (https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Enhanced-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B08BK27KZF) and the PDP little Wired Controller (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FCWYQJD) do NOT allow for button remapping on the Switch, so I am not too bothered, since I can wake up the system with another controller or on the system itself. The last negative I have is the one thing I personally really dislike about the controller: After you turn the Switch off the dongle will not stop flashing once the controller powers off. It will just stay flashing (presumably forever) until the system is back on and you press Start on the controller. I wish I could turn off the flashing. My solution is to unplug the dongle from the Switch, but then every time I need to use the controller, I have to go over to the Switch and replug it back into the dock. This is a big issue I wish could be fixed with a firmware update. Other than that I have no complaints. Takeaways: PROS 1. Great D-Pad 2. Fantastic Buttons 3. Easy to Pair - 2.4GHz dongle. 4. Joy Con Style sticks 5. SNES form factor 6. Buttons CAN be remapped with Switch Button Mapping Software 7. Full suite of Switch Pro Controller buttons including ZL, ZR, Home and Capture. 8. Very good battery life (up to 15 hours) CONS 1. Light on dongle keeps flashing when controller is off 2. No Rumble 3. No Motion Controls 4. Does not wake up Switch Overall if you want a SNES style controller with a fantastic D-Pad and need to remap buttons on the Switch then this is a MUST BUY. It is a great little controller with only minor drawbacks. ... show more

    • Kinda picky, but works fine on an snes.
I got this controller not to use with my snes, but another console with an snes adapter. While it did not work for that, it did work for my snes perfectly, so I just swapped controllers and no issue at all.

    • It's great by design, but flawed.
The controller was initially a perfect wireless option for SNES games. The controls felt nice and it synced up nicely with little-to-no input lag. But after a few months of owning it, the controller just will not hold a charge anymore. It dies after 20 minutes or so after it should have been fully charged. I can't place why, and it is really disappointing as now it only works plugged in to a charger at all times. Maybe I got one with a defect, but either way, it just does not work like it should. Great design, but battery needs to be improved. ... show more

    • Great controller
It works fine on switch I don't know why people can't get it to work you have to plug the USB into the docking station. It has multiple controls changing to Xbox controller by start and b and holding till the light changes. Anyone that had a bad review never read the manual. Works on my TV, windows, Linux, and my mini sbc computers. ... show more

    • Won’t connect to Nintendo Switch
Bought 2 of these to play NES and SNES games through Nintendo switch, and nothing I tried would allow these controllers to pair with the system. The included instructions didn’t have any clear steps to connect or troubleshoot. Their website didn’t have any support I could follow and I couldn’t even find anything on YouTube that wasn’t a review. I took a gamble on the $20 controller, and it feels like a step up from a squirt gun quality plastic. If it at least connected I probably would have kept them. But they are pretty much useless on the switch as far as I can tell. I’m going to return these and go for a 8Bitdo that seems a little more reliable and durable. ... show more
