    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.

      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. :)

    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

    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.

    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

    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?

    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.

    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.

      @VladNerd  6 місяців тому +1

      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. ❤️

      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.
