Worse than a ps4 controller. Really stiff cheap feeling buttons and a mediocre dpad. Sticks feel nice but again I dont know why you'd use it over a ps4 controller

The only good 8bitdo controller in my experience is the m30. It has a quality feel and the buttons feel nice and not miserably stiff. If you want snes style specifically, honestly I'd cut the bullshit and get an actual snes controller with a raphnet adaptor, everything else is a compromise

The only big downside is the dodgy windows compatibility with wonky drivers, but if you launch games/emulators through steam then it works flawlessly without needing any sketchy drivers

Would you faggots like to know a secret?

Remember those piece of shit PlayStation Classics you couldn't even give away they were so shitty? Well you can find them used and new for extremely cheap, and they all come with Sony OEM quality USB plug-and-play DirectInput controllers, TWO of them.

I received one as a gift, and picked another one up out of a bargain bin for 20 dollars at Walmart (maybe it was target idk). The build quality of these controllers is extremely high, even the texture on the face buttons is exactly like the ones we grew up with. Only caveat is the 6-ish foot long cable but I have them all plugged into a wired usb hub anyways. Check it out too, they even modeled the little plastic grip piece on the USB connector like the real deal, just tiny.

TL;DR
PS classics are dirt cheap and come with some of the nicest retro controllers you can purchase.
