8Bitdo SN30 2.4G Wireless Gamepad for Original SNES/SFC (SN Edition) - Super NES for PC

It has some nice weight to it and doesnt feel cheap. This works out of the box perfectly. Works and feels like an original SNES controller. I like it so much Im going to get a second one.

This controller is fantastic. Ive been gaming on the Super Nintendo since it came out and this is the finest controller Ive used for the system. Not only is it wireless, with no lag that I can perceive, it also has the perfect d-pad, and a very affordable price! I dont write many reviews, but I had to show some love to a company that gets it right. Thanks 8bitdo, I wish you much success. P.S. Id love a GameCube controller with this d-pad.

Update: I exchanged the controller I had an issue with for another one here on Amazon and it doesnt have this issue. Very happy overall with the quality of this controller. I upgraded my review to three stars. Not because the product itself, when working correctly, isnt worthy of 4 or 5. But because I think this is an issue that needs attention drawn to it. If I had a bad unit others might also. I want people to be aware and check to make sure the controllers you order are problem free. If I had 100% confidence in quality control itd be a 4 star product. If in addition it had a USB receiver option, itd be a 5 star product. Original Review: The D pad on the SN edition wont respond to up on the d-pad unless you press it with considerably more force than the other directions. The SF edition doesnt have this problem. I tried to remedy it by replacing the rubber membrane with one I had laying around and that didnt work and felt mushier. Will be sending one of these controllers back for replacement. Apart from that, the fit and finish are sublime and the only thing holding it back from perfection is the lack of availability of a USB receiver for PC or MiSTer. Still, for original hardware these would easily replace my standard bluetooth editions (especially since I couldnt use two of those at the same time without them interfering with one another). Im just very disappointed that the D pad doesnt work on one of the controllers. Will update when I receive a replacement.

SNES controller works great. Easy to set up.

It works perfectly. I like it even more than the original Snes controller. I recommend this product. Funciona a la perfección. Me gusta incluso más que el control original de Snes. Recomiendo este producto.

PLAYING VIDEO GAME.

Best snes controller hands down, works well with my original snes and super nt.

Ive been using this for the Retron 5 I bought (because the Super NT is sold out and Im skeptical of buying actual an SNES out of fear of being scammed). It works. Plain and simple. I like it. It feels right. I do also have an original SNES controller (I bought it after this), and its the same dimensions and practically the same, albeit some rather minor alterations. Ill admit that I do tend to prefer the feel of the original controller at times simply because that ones been broken in already (duh) and is easier to do Street Fighter II combos on because of it, but the SN30 wireless works great. Its high quality. It almost feels like it was done by Nintendo. Its buttons are the right mixture of clicky and soft/silent. It feels familiar. It...just feels great. Ya know? I dont really know what else to say. Id recommend buy this. I know that every once in a while someone gets a really bad controller, and they wind up rating it 1 or 2 stars because of it, but I can reassure you that this is worth getting and if you get a bad copy, is worth getting a replacement for. The only possible downfall (and I do mean possible because Im still not 100% sure on this, really) is that sometimes there does seem to be SOME amount of delay between button press and game response. But its rather minor. And Im honestly not even sure if that delay is really there at all, and if it is, if its the controller or the Retron 5. It seems really minor, and I only think its there when I play Super Mario World because it sometimes seems like I can press B while running towards an edge and Mario doesnt jump, but that might just be my own timing or misunderstanding of the games physics. Like I said. It works. It works so far, and it doesnt look like itll stop anytime soon. 10/10, would recommend.

Works on my Super Retro Trio with no issues. Controller is way made and feels solid. And of course I now can play wirelessly.

to start, ill state what i really liked about it: *excellent responsiveness, if your snes is on, and the dongle is inserted into the controller port, simply press the start button and your controller will instantly connect. *the d-pad and buttons feel amazing. no issues with directional input. *the plastics are quality and the buttons feel just right * the controller can be charged via a PC or a regular phone charger brick with the included USB cable *when connected to a PC, it can be used as a wired controller *the battery is very good and i havent had any issues. now here are some things that i didnt like *Using Micro USB for charging, in a future Revision, it would be awesome if it came with USB-C charging so i can use it with preexisting cables ....yeah mainly only good things to say about this controller because its really close to perfection. here are some improvements that could be implemented in the next version of this controller: *USB-C aka USB TYPE C *possibly a wireless charging coil for chi wireless charging? i recommend this controller even though it doesnt have USB-C charging, mainly because its just solidly built and works exceptionally well.
