Excellent Modern Controller for indie/retro gamers
5 Stars
Excellent Modern Controller for indie/retro gamers
Used this controller for 200-300 hrs with no finger cramps and no problem pulling off combos in fighting games. Being. a Pc gamer right now where fighting games are on sale I spent $75 fo a bunch of fighting games including the Street fight humble bundle. Playing every street fighter with this controller is excellent. One of the best dpads I ever used and playing RPGs movement is flawless and doesn’t have any problems. For $29 you’re getting an excellent 2d indie controller without spending a fortune. Been using 8bitdo for years with no problem. Also note that you can’t use this controller with the ultimate software so some 2d games may have controller issues if they don’t allow custom controller mapping. Battery life is excellent and can last 40-50 hrs before dying

I liked this controller so much, I bought a 2nd one for 2-player sessions. The button and D-pad feel is perfect. So much better than an Xbox One controller for 2D platformers and retro games (Genesis, Master System, NES, SNES, etc). It's nice that there's a wired option as well. Once it's synced to Windows, it's effortless to turn on and play. I like that you can hold the button to shut the controller off so the battery doesn't die. Retroarch is a bit annoying to setup, but you already knew that. Definitely buy this, 100% would recommend.

8BitDo really be the goat. All of their Bluetooth controllers work flawlessly and hook up so easily to my batocera mini pc setup. I’ve been playing the genesis, Saturn, and 3DO with this controller at the moment. It feels so good, I love the way the d pad feels, and how great the signal is. I sit pretty far away from my console with this controller and have no lag whatsoever, battery life is phenomenal. If you purchase 8BitDo products and are on the fence for this one, get it. I’m just waiting for the Bluetooth N64 controller now at this point!

It's the right size, the control pad is super responsive, diagonals register was easier than with the original Genesis pad. It's an amazing product and I hope 8Bitdo keeps selling them!

It honestly confuses me why Sega insists on rereleases product that they give us the inferior three button controller. The six button feels far better and gives much more options.

I’ve bought several 8bitdo controllers over the years and I’ve had minimal to no issues with any of them. This is no different, this controller works well, and has good reception.

Keep in mind, the z and the c button are set as the triggers of a Xbox controller. I recommend this controller to active who wants a Saturn style controller for their games or at least Genesis style controller

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect pairing for gaming on the go!
Reviewed in Canada on April 11, 2024
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
Recently got a tablet and downloaded my emulators onto it only to then realize the touch controls on such a display are just plain bad to play with... The 8BitDo M30 controller is a perfect facsimile to the 6-Button Sega Genesis controller of yesteryear and couldn't have been easier to hook up; it was quite literally just a matter of pairing the controller to my device, as everything was pre-mapped on the controller and ready to go!

Controls feel solid and the matte texture of the controller feels really good in the hands, this controller is a close second in regards to 3rd party Genesis controllers for me, only second to the RetroBit controller licensed by Sega (so technically official, I guess?)

Only personal gripe I have with it is that I wish there'd been a dedicated button to turn the controller on/off, as though I don't mind the button combo to turn it on, I don't like that the controller just needs to go idle for a couple minutes to turn off... Idk, to me it feels like it's wasting battery life that could've been alleviated by a single switch.

Overall, a great retro-style controller to use with emulation!
