The 8BitDo SF30 Pro Controller - Is it worth it?
- Thread starter Dave
- Start date
It's my favorite controller to play anything retro or anything that's 2D on. Compared to the SNES controller that comes with the classic, it actually feels way better to me. The buttons are very satisfying and responsive, and battery life is pretty good. I've had mine for over a year and it still feels great.
I can't speak for the regular SN30 Pro, but the SN30 Pro Plus is my favorite controller of all time. The D-Pad issues that 8bitdo had for awhile were ironed out. It's great for both 2D and 3D games.
They are absolutely fantastic for the SNES games on the Switch.

Easily. It's become my main controller for almost all games that I use a controller for on pc and my main Mario Maker 2 controller on Switch. It's great.
I hate hate hate the coloration on the Pro+. If the face just looked like the regular Pro, it would bother me so much less.
Not sure if it's my favorite controller but the Pro Plus definitely up there. And it has native PC support too!
It's a great controller, only problem I ever had was the d-pad, but that was fixed with a screw driver, some tape and 30 minutes
I love my SN30 Pro. Sold my pro controller for multiple reasons (terrible dpad, massive to travel with, NEEDS a case in a bag since every button press will turn it on and drain the battery in your bag, etc)
If you play a lot of d-pad reliant games, don't mind the sticks not being offset, need a controller that works on PC/mac/mobile, need something small and portable, def get it. I've seen some people mention the dpad isn't too reliable, but I'm thinking that could be an early batch that was fixed later, as I haven't had a problem with it.
If you find yourself wishing you had grips, you can opt for the SN30 Pro Plus (also has extra features like macros, trigger tuning, etc).
There were a few bugs when using it with Switch but those have all been patched with updates (be sure to get the controller update firmware from their website)

Pro Plus is the best controller available for the Switch, and is second only to the Xbone Elite controller. It's so fucking comfortable
I have the og version without the handles and I love that, people seem to like the Pro version as well. Definitely worth it.
I've heard that the d-pad is loose in the shell and travels around, is this still the case or has it been fixed?
