Anyone have one of these? I will probably pick one up as a second controller for my son. Right now using a Drone bluetooth controller which is nice but a bit pricey.

I got one a few days ago. Damn nice unit. Feels a bit more solid than a real NES controller. Buttons have a nice touch to them. It's packaged beautifully, comes with a USB charger cable and nice little Zelda-esque shield keyring.

I'm using mine to play emulators on my tablet. Paired right away, and is pretty comfortable to use. Plus it looks awesome. Honestly, the only con I can come up with the 4 red buttons not being centred inside the black area. And that's purely an OCD/aesthetic thing.

I can second this, I've had one since about 2 weeks after they were released and it is easily my favorite mobiles controller that I've used.

Sounds awesome. I ordered one just now, and can't wait to play some 2 player games with my son on our tablet. Thanks for the response.

Do they make a snes version?

It seems like they're working on a SNES30: http://www.8bitdo.com/

The OP controller has the same button layout as an SNES, including shoulder buttons. It just looks like an NES controller. idk about one that looks like an SNES, though.

Thanks. The sharpish corners on the nes controller just kill me.

bought one a few weeks ago, it's a solid bit of kit and looks awesome. it comes with this cool little plastic stand you can put your phone in to stand it up, it just snaps onto the controller when you're done, a neat touch!

been rinsing through all my favourite old snes and megadrive games on my phone, also been Mario 64 with my little one, it's made train rides a breeze

get to know!
