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

Was a bit skeptical at first but seems to be a about as good the real thing had no problem pulling off Street Fighter moves or Mortal Kombat moves with this controller.

I bought this item for use on a NTSC-U Super Nintendo and Nintendo Switch. I thought that this would work for that because it comes with a connector for the SNES and the From the manufacturer section said it was compatible with the Switch. (Hell, even the 8bitdo site says its compatible. When I received it I first tried to connect it to the Switch. But when I tried to use it on the Switch the controller couldnt be found. I figured it needed an update. I found the update for this exact model on the 8bitdo site, followed the exact instructions of the readme file (which on step 3 tells you to put it in upgrade mode), and updated the controller. Unfortunately, after the update the controller was still in upgrade mode. The manual didnt say how to take it out of this mode and nothing about it could be found on the 8bitdo site or any forums. Turns out there is no way to manually take it out of upgrade mode. The only way is to perform an update and have it be successful. If, for some reason, the controller does not have a successful update it cannot be taken out of this mode and thus cannot be used on any console. Straight out of the box I have had issues with this product with zero time where it has worked as desired. I have been communicating with 8bitdo to see how I can possibly get this taken care of. This issue is currently ongoing (as it has been for two days) but I have been notified by 8bitdo that this controller does not work with the Switch at all. The From the manufacturer section for this product is incorrect. Personal gripe: 8bitdo has different names for different products (ex. SN30, SN30 Pro, SN30 Pro+, etc.). But there are three different models of the basic SN30. Some are currently supported. Some are not. But there isnt a really good way to tell which model you have. Theyre all called SN30. Theyre told apart by their functions which isnt the easiest way to identify them. Why the hell cant 8bitdo call each generation of a model by a very clear number on both the product and the website? (ex. SN30 1, SN30 2, etc.) I have noticed from my other 8bitdo products that the newer, more complex devices are pretty great, but the older, simpler ones can sometimes be a real pain because of issues like this. Personally with the problems I have experienced, I would AVOID this controller. Get a newer model SN30 Pro (with Bluetooth) and newer model SNES adapter (with Bluetooth). Thats a bit more expensive but youll be MUCH better off.

My retro gaming addiction has been satiated! This is so helpful and easy to use. I cant believe it exists. Boyfriend and I use it often and it hasnt stopped working yet, 3 weeks in.

Love it. Just got an SD2SNES and wanted a wireless controller as well. It feels original but works far better than any wireless controller I owned before the GameCube came around. If you are looking for a wireless controller for the SNES, this is the one you want.

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.

Good build quality. No lag. Nuff said.

This product is a must have if you want to play SNES with wireless controllers. Works great feels great. Would say it even feels better then the og controllers

Wonderful controller for snes.

Works great, now I have the second player controller!

Highly recommend
