>33% of the price of a Nintendo Switch 2 pro controller
>... is a better controller
How? How did Switch 2 not even have hall joysticks? The flip?

Is 8bitdo just god tier?

>>712934918 (OP)
Every chink controller is better than first party controllers. Yes.

what percentage of the pro controller price is this one?

>>712936435
34

I've been using an SN30 pro for 7 years with the Switch and PC. I recently replaced the left stick because it had worn down so badly. It's a shitty controller and I wish I had gotten something else.

>>712937182
now that the switch 2 is out, I may pay money for a Switch 1 pro controller i hear they're pretty good. No Switch 2 Pro for me, i do not care about a chat button.

>>712934918 (OP)
I got burned by Mad Katz back in the day. I ain't falling for third-party controllers again.

>>712937182
SN30 is kino. It is way better quality than the Switch Pro controller, and about the same in battery life (charge it 4 times a year)

>>712937430
8bitdo is good

>>712937484
The only thing 8bitdo is good at is guerilla marketing on social media.

>Chinks intentionally use defective parts in first party controllers
>Make shitty knock off controllers with marginally less defective parts
Destroy china and manufacture shit mexico, those niggas aren't niggers.

>>712937634
my 8biotdo Pro + controller lasted for years. My Nintendo Joy-cons drifted.

8bitdo: 1/Nintendo: 0

get fucked retard

>>712934918 (OP)
My Ultimate has a mushy A button now but it still works just fine. Should've bought the Pro 2 though, since the Ultimate does not feel as good as the Pro+ did.

>>712937916
Pro 2 sucks troon cock
8bitdo has never failed me in 10 years

>>712937916
the Pro + and Pro + 2 is their best controller

>>712934918 (OP)
*hits diagonal*

>>712934918 (OP)
i want this but without analogs for retro games but idk if i should

>>712938007
>>712937916
compare this to xbox one controller
i hate the shape

it looks flimsy and cheap

>>712935421
Every first party controller is chink too

>>712938437
>it looks cheap
It is cheap, especially for what it offers

>>712938437
>it looks flimsy and cheap
it isnt. the Xbone controller is good but lats the PERFECTED SNES style design nintendo hit the jackpot on many years ago.

>>712935480
do you not have a 3d printer?

Maybe the dumbest fucking reply i have ever got

>>712934918 (OP)
Is the Xbox controller really the only controller with a tactile d-pad? I was considering getting an SN30, but the d-pad looks mushy and the Xbox version might not even connect to my Analogue Pocket.

>>712940919
>the d-pad looks mushy
it isnt. have owned one for nearly 7 years. good pad. I use it for all the metroidvania indie games i play off steam.

>chinky controllers are just okay now
>first party so bad people praise that
Bar gotten really low, huh?

>>712934918 (OP)
>>is a better controller
>with that form factor

I got an 8bitdo ultimate for use with my steam deck, and while physical it is good... But when it comes to Bluetooth it SUCKS DICK. Steam deck constantly thinks it's a Nintendo switch controller, making the back paddles useless (and no way to edit this at all whatsoever) and usually makes a brand new profile for it every single time it connects. If I have another controller connected by Bluetooth, forget about it, it will randomly swap player and player 2 inputs, somehow bid both players to one controller, or jumble all the buttons on every game so you have to edit layout every time. For consistency I have to use it wired. What a piece of junk!

>asymmetric Controller
This makes me feel like an esl 3rd world person

>>712934918 (OP)
8bitdo is shit nigga

>>712941791
Doesn't it have an xinput option though?

Is the Pro 2 a good switch 2 controller? I have a couple Switch 1 Pro controllers but want some more for local mario kart that have the grip buttons for the snipe-from-the-side-while-driving-straight strats

>>712942996
>Pro 2
I meant the 8bitdo Pro 2

why is there no controller that has all of the following
>dome joysticks
>non dogshit dpad
>back paddles
why are my only options 8bitdo controllers that are disgustingly ugly and nintendo pro 2 which is a retarded price and a shitty dpad

>>712934918 (OP)
SN30Pro is one of the worst controllers I've ever used in my entire life, and I'm not kidding.
The dpad being ridiculously inaccurate is already common knowledge, but there are several other issues. The worst of them, in my opinion, are the face buttons. As that autistic Mario 64 fan says, there are three stages to pressing a button: press, hold, release.
The whole problem with the Sn30Pro is the release. Some people simply call it "rebound", and in my experience, the rebound on the Sn30Pro's face buttons is the worst I've ever experienced, which makes the experience miserable for anyone who cares.
The fact that no one notices this shit just proves that no one in the world plays video games seriously.

>>712944174
Because you don't have the skillset to modify a stock controller with the available parts that match your requirements.

>>712944613
fucking kill yourself you dumb retard obviously i know how to use a screwdriver and place a part in a slot its designed to go into, no controller is so complicated that should make you feel special for ""knowing"" how to do it
i just want a controller to be sold with the things i want already instead of a DIY project

>>712934918 (OP)
>Super Play Entertainment Station

>>712944826
You also need a soldering iron, I mean yeah, it's shit but they want to sell you shitty controllers for all eternity so soldering and printing your own shit together is your only real choice. Nothing to do with feeling special. If you want it done right, diy.

>>712934918 (OP)
Half the festures
Lower build quality
Harder to repair on your own
Abysmal battery life
Symmetrical sticks

Basically it's a considerably worse controller sold at a premium.

>>712937430
Madkatz was awful lmao everything of theirs I had fell apart

>>712947442
Listening to the Internet talk about madkatz makes me thing I had the only decent controller of theirs in existence. Was a dreamcast one and it was better than the og.

>>712947787
i have a lot of fond memories of my madcatz gamecube controller

>>712948263
Maybe they were okay for a single generation

So wich one is best?
Is the Ultimate good?
My PS4 controller is on its last legs.

>>712948263
Kek I had fond memories of making whoever was player 2 use my broken madcatz gamecube controller

>>712948263
I had fond memories of mine for the month or two they worked.

>>712948889
i think i had a similar one, i wanted the macro/turbo button to recobox in pso.

>>712948889
That's the dc model I have, it probably still works, the rubber cap of the stick is missing but that should be an easy fix.

>>712949558
*no pic

When the fuck are they going to make this with grips, it should be illegal not to.

>>712948889
>>712949617
Why were MadCatz so awful seriously, they felt like they were made for cheap not only that but but they were either bulky as shit or didn't last very long, literally "here's your controller bro" tier

>>712947187
>festures
The battery life on those are really good too. It's always a Reddit posting style anon that has no idea what they're talking about.

>>712949972
Is that DPAD any good?
It looks uncomfortable, and I really hated the DPAD on my Mega Drive.

>>712950284
It's ok. Kinda mushy. The buttons fucking suck, though. They're too loose.

>>712950284
I like it and the controller is usually recommended for having a good dpad more than anything. Not sure if you'd like it if you don't like the mega drive's dpad, I would imagine not although I've never touched an actual MD controller.

>>712950205
Cheaper controller, cheaper parts. That was just how things were until the current gen.

>>712950574
I just want a good DPAD and good analogs that don't drift in the first month (like my Series controller)
8bitdio Ultimates DPAD is really middling and I'm looking around and can't find a decent modern pad with a good DPAD and nice Hall Effects.

>Sell controllers to kids who don't know better at a cheaper "premium" on mom and dad's allowance so they can play multiplayer smash or mario party when friends come over
>make them out of cheap parts to maximize profits through sales
>if they break they can just buy more while still not settling for the expensive official controllers.

Yeah I remember now, I honestly Don't miss MadCatz or Pelican.

>>712950246
>The battery life on those are really good too.
NTA but it uses a shitty 480mAh battery, a Google search will say 18 to 20 hours, which is still less than the pro controller anyway but it's way less than advertised..

chinese tech is > everyone else atm. Their mice, controllers, cars...it's all just better.

>>712950752
Everyone seems to have a different opinion on d-pads, but if you're fine with Series you'll probably be okay with
>anything Flydigi
>BigBig Won Blitz 2 TMR
>PXN P5 8K
>probably that new Gamesir Nova 2 Lite, the one with a Series shape they claim was tuned by a competitive KoF player

>>712950752
>I just want a good DPAD and good analogs
I feel you. the gamesir g7 pro and flydigi apex 5 (and eventual vader 5 pro) both seem to have good mechanical style dpads but I'll have to wait for english reviews before I make a final judgement. my only qualm is that every controller these days all seem to have an asymmetric layout.

>>712951223
>>712951732
Thanks bros

>>712950284
for some weird reason, mine's dpad can't register right diagonals in antonblast, but in every other game works good

Symmetrical d-pad options are cursed. I don't think there's anything perfect without some modding or a lucky QC roll, or both.

Just bought a ultimate 2c wireless for the equivalent of 20 usd off AliExpress did I get a good deal?

>>712953714
>AliExpress
No

>>712937484
I like their keyboards. Might be tempted to try their leverless controllers if cheap enough.

>>712953758
What's wrong with AliExpress?

>>712934918 (OP)
Thats should had be the n64 controller

>>712953714
Probably, yeah. Ignore the other fag, all third parties have official AliExpress storefronts, and I've yet to be burned by unofficial ones either.

>>712937896
>lasted
your error is thinking we're advocating for nintendo when in reality we're saying that both are shit
get something better so next time you don't have to post "mine lasted" and instead post "mine still works"

>>712954104
I just don't buy anything without 500+ sales and I haven't had a problem yet, delivery is usually about 10 days to Australia

>>712953621
I'd speculate the easiest solution is Gamesir Tarantula Pro, and swap in a circular d-pad if you think diagonals are too hard. I can do the same on my Dualsense, but most people seem to have the opposite problem so I guess it's luck of the draw.
If diagonals seem too easy I guess the alternative is something like the Battle Beaver DS4/Dualsense mod to make every direction a separate button, but I feel like I wouldn't like that for games that want circle inputs.

>>712934918 (OP)
luv me 8bitdo BUT the r1/l1 buttons tend to get squishy

>cheap, chinky controllers from 8bitdo and Gamesir of all brands end up being better than official ones

Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are such a joke lmao, there's zero excuse for the Switch 2 joycons to not have hall effect/TMR analogs, the Dual Sense Edge to have such horrible battery life and the durability and hardware issues on the Xbox Elite 2
