    I noticed something with this controller on windows in xinput mode. If you let the controller just sit for about 5-10 seconds, it will enter a pre power saving state. Just letting it sit this long followed by a quick single button press, it will not register. It's as if the controller partially goes to sleep and that first press on any button wakes it up. All following presses immediately after will be instantly registered. If you repeat this by simply waiting 5-10 seconds it can be reproduced every time. Tested on 2 windows 10 systems. Can you confirm/test this? Is this normal behavior? Tested with Retroarch and Cuphead on steam.

    It's been my go to controller since I got it day one. The software is simple but effective.
    One niggle I have, and there's not a huge amount they could do without stretching the whole design, is that the analog sticks are spaced like the Dual Shock 1-3 rather than the Dual Shock 4 that has them slightly further apart. Since I use analog sticks with the pad of my thumbs rather than the tip, my thumbs can collide if both analog sticks are pushed toward the center at the same time.
    It has kinda showed me that many newer games don't even allow you to use the D-pad for character movement anymore, it's relegated to menu selection and secondary actions.

    • @ckillgore
      @ckillgore 4 роки тому

      I reached out to 8bitdo about this, and they told me they are working on updating the software to allow you to map the stick inputs to the dpad.
      So if you miss using the dpad for character movement, you might be able to do that with this controller in the future.
      You can also buy the 8bitdo lite, which has two dpads and no analog sticks. However, the form factor is less than ideal, so I don't know about that. I am morbidly curious about how a fps would play with two dpads though....

    Was loving both the SN30 and M30 8bitdo controllers but one major issue I have with them on Switch and PC is that all 3 I own will drop blue tooth signal or desync from the Switch or Pc at random moments. I dont even have my Pc and switch running at the same time so there shouldnt be any interferrance there. Even if there was, I never had this issue even back on PS3 controllers. No one who reviews these controllers ever seems to mention this issue, which I find odd.
    This desync is a huge issue because you lose control of the game completely and it can get you killed until you re-sync the controller. The only way Ive found around this issue is to use them wired. Its not a big deal if your playing a turn based strategy game but for most games you risk getting killed from dropped signals. If you get these be aware that this does happen, and you may want to play most games wired.
    I also get conflicts when trying to use these controllers wirelessly on my emulation focused PC. The controller creates different controller profiles, two of them for each controller, which conflict with eachother. Ive tried updating to older firmware but either way it occurs. So I stopped using the controllers wirelessly on PC and for switch I will use the controller wirelessly if Im playing a strategy game, but other than that use them all wired now. Other than that the build quality is quite good.

    All my 8bitdo controllers have been bricked after less than a year of use. Suddenly the power light just turns yellow and I can't turn it on or off, or do anything with it. When I contacted them to get it fixed or replaced it was a process of sending the controller to China, with me paying the postage which cost almost as much as just buying a new controller. So I bought a new controller, and after less than a year, it bricked again. I hope this isn't the case with this new one, but I'd be very weary of buying anything from them again.
