This is my first 8bitdo product purchase. Although I’ve known about the company for awhile and how they’ve developed into a reputable company for third party accessories and peripherals.
This wired controller is an amazing value. I got this for my brother as his old wired 360 controller finally kicked the bucket after nearly a decade or so of use (cable was falling apart and noticeable drift developed in the left stick). This 8bitdo pad is well built and feels like sturdy/quality plastics have been used in the construction. The sticks and buttons feel good and responsive, plus it has enough weight to it where it feels good in hand. Plus it basically mimics the Xbox pad layout which is nice too.
A tad disappointed in the limited color options, but the lilac at least looks nice in person. Also it’s plug and play, my younger brother has a PC with a Ryzen processor and Windows 10 Pro OS, and it worked without needing to install external software or drivers which is cool. Side note for some reason it has keyboard macros attached to the buttons when steam input is enabled so I’d turn that off to avoid some technical headaches.
Overall great value, I might pick one up myself one day as a wired option since I already have a Wireless Xbox One pad that’s still going strong.
P.S. I wouldn’t use this in a living room set up since the cable is only 6ft long, but in a desktop setting where you’re close to the monitor this is perfect.
