For Anbernic's Cardinal Snapping, I think it would be a great Retro Game mode for Arcade games. My suggestion is we should have two modes for the Analog Sticks. A Retro and an Analog Gaming mode to satisfy the gaming needs of both groups of people.😊
Looks 1:1 to an 8bitdo Ultimate controller.... besides the led ring lights and the start+select button placement. Even the back paddles look identical.
it does but its kinda chicken and egg in my brain the pro controller looks like the 8bitdo and came out 4 years earlier but i do agree of the two it definitely looks more like the 8bitdo
Honestly It's much better than I expected. Anbernic is kinda infamous for getting better and fixing the problems with subsequent iterations so I expected a rocky start for their first controller but by the looks of it the controller has a good build quality and looks good too (with the obvious 8bitdo "inspiration"). Gamesir already has a hold on that "quality for great price" corner of the market and there are a lot of other controller brands flooding the market lately too. I don't know how it will go down for Anbernic, the price is the only thing they can go to be the difference maker but it's hard to see it being much cheaper than a Gamesir controller for example that already are quite cheap. Let's see what happens, more options for us consumers so that's great.
I think this will really be dependent on price. Not precise d-pad is a demerit, but the back buttons and ease of programming them seems very cool, on top of being both bluetooth and 2.4ghz. I really hope it's not too expensive!
It feels like Anbernic spends valuable time refining products in keeping with it's passion for RGB more than a couple of other important areas I can think of lol. Like OTA updates for the RG556. Anyway, I do like the spirit of innovation and I'm happy to see them venture here. I might just pick up a controller (not this one) to overcome the analog snapping without taking any risks with the device but that's a bit cumbersome eh.
This thing looks very inspired by the 8bitdo controllers. I meant it does have some differences like the buttons in the middle, the thumbstick tops and rgb but it still has that basic shape and the d-pad.
It's a direct rip off not just inspired by it. Even down to the lettering on the buttons including the shoulders. The only difference is as you mentioned but it's a blatant copy or maybe out the back door job. Chinese companies don't care about trivial issues such as this though.
What's your thoughts on Anbernic's first controller? Should we make more dedicated controller videos? Pricing and launch info coming shortly!
Can you review Headphones and Controllers in the future?
Fantastic review, awesome job man
cant have thoughts, audio/video desync too strong
@@trevordenny8025 thank you man
@@srgarathnorissue with your setup

That's what I've been thinking. Even the way the front part of the shell goes into the back one at the grips is identical
it does i was debating that but in my mind the 8bitdo ultimate looks like a pro controller and the 8bitdo came out 4 years after
Lots of firsts on this video, congratulations to everyone involved, great video Todd, thanks!
Many thanks sir Klef!
yeah that's 100% made in the same factory as 8bitdo ultimate lol
Bro for your first full length review you did great, enjoyed this 🙂
For a next time, there are controller testers, input latency, polling rate, analog sticks error % , would be nice to see.
Another awesome edition to the Retro Handhelds team, yeah! 🤘🎮👍
It did not make me think nintendo pro controller lol it literally looks identical to the 8bitdo ultimate is this an 8bitdo collab?
Think of it as a copy, not collab. There is no honor amongst the companies in the same country

Big fan of the new guy!! Welcome aboard sir and awesome review
hey thanks that really made me happy to read !
Excellent first video! I might pick one of these up if the price is right.
Excellent video Todd well done 👏
Thank you
Looks good man I’m gonna get one just not the baby lotion bottle color. Good video man!
Interesting looking controller 🎮😮

Todd rocks. Fair review 👍
you rock !

Oh.... They'll do ota updates when they can charge you extra for it.
Innovation? It's a direct copy of 8bitdo ultimate controller. Maybe anbernic is linked.

Does the D-pad use rubber membrane or tactile clicky input?
Nice review. Doesn't have a mouse mode, trackpad like dualshock. No gyro or rumble I suppose. It's really a retro controller.
@@althyk it has gyro and rumble
Does it have vibration?
Who's fingers really become oil slicks just because they are playing games?
Controller looks good, but can anyone suggest a cool controller for PS4, that isn't a dual shock 4...🤷♂️🎮
how much will it costs?
We still don’t know yet that’s the rough part they haven’t confirmed anything with us yet
Hot take : analog triggers are overrated & only useful if you're playing a game that has driving in it
Yeah most games don't really take advantage of it
Yeah, doesn't mean they can't just exclude it though.
better to have and not need them , than to need them and not have them is what my grandma always used to say
shooters more fun with analog triggers.. many game cube games sucks if you don't have it
The controller color is atrocious. As a keyboard/mouse gamer, I want dual track pads like a Steam Deck controller in a premium controller.
i too would love a controller with a trackpad , we were close with the steam controller i always regret selling mine !
