I had to reupload because of some audio issues. Enjoy, my dear nerds! ❤ Also, be an awesome nerd and help my nerdy channel by *subscribing and liking.* I'd appreciate it an awful lot if you did. :)
I mean it was released three years ago and got decent coverage imo. The problem was limited compatibility unlike the normal version. Analogue triggers are nice but from what I remember from reviews years ago compatibility with other standard? ! was the problem.
i have the sn30 pro g classic edition, works with pc, android, switch, and ios. also bought the phone holder and carry case. it's really comfortable and reliable. a very nice controller indeed.
Nope, not an error. It was made for things like streaming games to your Android and stuff like that. It's very good for those who'd use it on Android, though. :)
i got my first 8bitdo pro 2 controller used 2 years ago and its condition was still pretty much brand new the analog sticks rubber have gotten worn down a bit and the start button has started mess up after all the times i used it, it still feels brand new, and i loved the controller so much i got another one full price next year, and even if its in D input mode it can still be used on pc and mac for emulators, i only had small problems with the two controllers but after turning them off and back on they started to work how they are supposed to, i really love these controllers
Can't thank you enough for this. I spent the last month spending hours figuring out which controller to get. I spent countless hours reading online and watching youtube videos. I wanted parallel joysticks and something smaller, lighter, and more comfortable for my hands. The SN30 Pro seemed like a good option but the lack of analog triggers was a deal-breaker. I was also worried about the lack of grips. Now I know for sure that this version is the one for me. THANK YOU. Btw, this should actually work for Windows if you use x360ce (controller emulator). Might also be pair-able with the 8Bitdo usb bluetooth adapter 2
Купил себе недавно этот контроллер только в classic сборке. Использую в основном для игр на планшете, очень портативный в один карман помещается. Подключается к пк и к андроиду, но как по мне намного будет удобней использовать дуалшок 4 (мой первый геймпад), по скольку на нем есть ручки и удобно его держать, но он почти в два раза больше 8bitDo, так что я доволен
As the controller meanwhile also officially works with Apple devices with newer OS versions, is there any hardware difference between the regular SN30 Pro version and this Xbox version here other than the adaptive L2/R2 triggers? Can this version here be connected via Bluetooth without a dongle like the regular version? Can it be connected by wired USB-C connection like the regular version?
Man, you are really outstanding, your voice reminds me of my childhood, when i listened to story tellers on tapes😄 Actually, the calm talking is very seldom nowadays, i could listen to you all day. Subscribed!
This one cannot be better than the normal SN30Pro, because even though this one has analog triggers you can't use Xinput on PC without the dongle and it doesn't have gyro or a Switch mode.
Second point about the Legion y700 is easily understand. It's not exactly a portable handheld and you need to buy a telescopic controller like your one if you want to use it as a proper gaming tablet. Plus for the longest time it was literally a Chinese firmware product with a hacky global rom that was missing features like stylus support and delayed or even no notification support. Though due to the recent sales of less than $300 for the 2023 edition, several retro handheld reviewers have bought one and will probably release gaming focused reviews about it. Honestly there is way more info on bilibili or in other languages. Even Geekerwan released an in depth technical review, though only on bilibili, not UA-cam.
I'm getting it for a portable setup where I'm using a fire TV stick lite with a usb powered mini projector and using Xbox cloud gaming app on the fire stick
hey, you are a good salesman! :D you convinced me withj the video to order the atomic green sn30 pro, i will write a review when it arrives :) thx for the video.
I have this exact sn30 pro xbox controller, and I can use it on my ipad to play genshin. Recognized in-game like xbox controller. You do have to update the firmware first tho. I absolutely love this sleek black controller.
I've actually been kicking myself for being late with the latest video that I'm working on. I'll most probably publish it sometime tomorrow. Thanks btw man, your words of encouragement hit the right spot. ❤️
Speaking of stick drift the only controllers that ever drifted for me were joycons. But both xbox and switch pro controller I had them for years and they still work flavlessly without drift and trust me they went through a lot of abuse. I already droped both of them few times and switch pro stick was being beat up a lot from hours and years of playing smash bros. I also have 8bito sn30 pro but I use it mainly for phone and traveling because its so small and thus travel friendly since it doesnt take much space.
Funny seeing this right after using this controller. Absolutely love this controller but its lack of compatability is the biggest issue. I bought it with the understanding it was for android but a bit more usb compatability would be nice. And yeah, i trust no single reviewer at this point without further research. Seriously though, if this worked on xbox consoles it would be amazing.
The world is not talking about the Lenovo Legion Y700 2023 because it is not widely available to buy. By the way, where did you buy yours from? AliExpress?
No weakness there! The MM and MM+ are genuinely the only handhelds that I always swear by. Just make sure to have a name-brand SD card (128gb) prepared for when it arrives and flash Onion OS on it + tiny best set (I can't provide links, but there's a guide on reddit for that, first search result I think). These two things make it 1000 times better. It's a set-it-and-forget-it type of setup, absolutely optimal in every way. Beats any other handheld firmware out there by miles. The original Miyoo Mini (v1) basically showed that there's demand for such handhelds, and immediately after it, others started appearing like mushrooms. It's the Godfather of them all. ❤️
@@VladNerd I would argue it was actually the Funkey S that really kicked the mini/micro revolution. Mind you though, by that thinking, you could argue that the MicroSprite was really the first but that unit suffered from not actually being able to be played without permanent injury. 😉👍
Honestly, I'm not sure. I think the Switch knows dInput (which means it should work), but please make sure to double check this, I don't want to give out false info.
@ yup u just have to map all the buttons urself on XOutput, for steam games u just have to plug it in and turn on the steam controller for whichever game ur playing and itll be automatically mapped just like a regular xbox controller. but for games off steam u gotta use XOutput not hard at all tho.
@ if ur able to add the game to ur steam library through add a non steam game then the regular steam controller will work and u dont even need to use XOutput.
More than their otger controllers this controller has crazy limited compatability so I would guess it is on the lower end for sales despite its quality.
This is really a niche model of the SN30. Not clickbaity at all. People who buy this either know what they want (and how they're gonna use it), or they don't know that it doesn't work on PC yet. This made it way less popular than other variants, even though it full-on deserved more spotlight (if only for the analog triggers)
@@VladNerd i understand that you happy with your buy but i can use my default sn30 on anything, switch, android, pc, mac and losing all of that just for analogue triggers? Idk i cant call this somewhere "gem" also when hall effect versions came out
@@cephmind74 Different strokes for different folks. :) Personally, analogue triggers in their SNES-style controller layout was just what I was looking for. I am tempted of getting one of the transparent ones as well, though.

@@VladNerd have u tried with cable connection? Xbox give their license only to wired controllers
How about the wireless receiver?
I have that controller and use it on my pc, but I had to buy a wireless adapter to connect it.
I can confirm it works on Windows, just connect through bluetooth.
Bought one a few months ago and always keep it in my bag. It's great!
Will it work with steam deck?
works with steam deck but not on windows pc
I got this because of the triggers despite not being a fan of the Xbox skin. It works perfect with the steam deck!
This can work in a windows pc using xoutput and or using steam

Does it work with iOS now?

@@VladNerd Me too but I dont use them anymore but they never drifted either.
which controller has accurate d-pad SN30 Pro for Andriod or SN30 Pro Bluetooth ? And Can you Swap D-PAD to Left Stick on SN30 Pro Bluetooth ??
I just ordered mine so I can play xcloud during my lunch breaks. :)
Wait what??? Analog triggers...hold my beer...need to get one
There must be drivers to make it work with Windows. I would have got one by now if it worked with Windows and Android by default.
Have you checked out there new xbox 3 mode pro controller
Would you recommend this for travel?
Does this work on Steam now? I would love to have this controller for my laptop.
can the controller connect to a series x wirelessly?
The new versions have hall effect joysticks
I just wish 8bitdo did a proper white on their sn30 series controllers. I love them so much but the colors are so underwhelming.
Funny seeing this right after using this controller. Absolutely love this controller but its lack of compatability is the biggest issue.
I bought it with the understanding it was for android but a bit more usb compatability would be nice.

I fully agree with everything you pointed out here. :)

Yup, AliExpress (link in description).
I think other reviewers should've reviewed it more anyway tbh, since it's a genuinely good value proposition.
I love love love 8bitdo controllers. In my collection lad as are it's many successors.
Thanks lad. I was weak again man. Miyoo mini v4 in yellow on its way. Sigh.

Oh damn, I forgot about the Funkey S. I always loved the form factor and size, but it was borderline impossible to get my hands on one. 😄
@@VladNerd Ok, I'm feeling real shame at this point, I've three of them, GC Purple, GB OG and the new yellow variant. They're my precioussss. 😉👍
its this running for pc gameplay?
The one in the thumbnail is icky. Seeing what is obviously a SNES inspired controller with silly Xbox backwards ABXY offends my delicate senses.
Can this controller be used on the switch?
Honestly, I'm not sure. I think the Switch knows dInput (which means it should work), but please make sure to double check this, I don't want to give out false info.
Can it connect to Xbox Series via wireless bluetooth?
I don't think it can, it's mostly made for Android
@@VladNerd Anyway would be awesome for my Steam Deck or maybe remote play from Xbox to Deck. Thanks bro, great video.
The regular SN30 Pro does work on Windows, but this version doesn't. A total bummer because I prefer Xbox layout on my face buttons.
It does work
@@jonskupee It does??? Help I'm so confused how
@@ifritkid Atleast in Steam games
works on pc now.
Does it? I want one of these to play Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger on my Steam Deck and PC

I don't know tbh, maybe someone can answer if Linux supports dinput. If it does, the controller should work.
please please please EQ your voice
What "Nobody buying" mean? Theres a fkin trend to lick everything about 8bit, and they really deserve it. Very bad clickbait
