8Bitdo Retro Receiver for SNES Classic, SFC Classic and NES Classic (Bluetooth) - Super NES;

I've used this with an 8bitdo sn30 pro for a few months now and it works great .I love it .the only issue I have is the obscurity of methods to connect the controllers.for some odd reason connecting via the sync button on the controller and sync button on the receiver has this janky issue where it will take forever to connect on startup and disconnect occasionally.to remedy this you have to connect with the controller in X-input mode(with controller off press START + X ) then press the sync button on the receiver and immediately, it connects with no issue or hang.I love you 8bitdo but you need to get it together . ;)

For those of you that said this product doesn’t work with the NES OR SNES classic mini is because you got a fake or replica console. Originally bought one because I saw some reviews.I tested it with my SNES Nintendo online controllers and they work flawlessly. I also tested the adaptors with a Mac via the USB cable and the controller remain paired to the adapter.Search online so that you can ensure that you’re using an authentic console. There are treads on Reddit where you can ensure you have an authentic one.

One of the biggest problems with the SNES classic (and NES classic but I don't have one) is the short controller cables. It is highly impractical to play and sit so close to the TV. This receiver solves that problem and allows you to use a large number of controllers with the system. I have now dedicated an unused PS3 controller as my primary SNES controller and it works perfectly. When the receiver was first released the buttons weren't mapped correctly on the PS3 controller so I would not have recommended this at that time. Since then they've put out a new update for the receiver and it's perfect. If you buy this item, make sure to update its firmware before using it. As an added bonus, this receiver allows you to go back to the SNES menu by pressing down + select on the controller. You can't do that with the pack-in SNES controllers and must actually get up to press the reset button on the system.At the end of the day, the SNES controllers as they're included with the classic console are not practical. That leaves you with two options: buying controller extension cables or buying a wireless receiver like this one. I actually have both and both are good options. I like to use the wireless receiver because it lets me toggle back to the SNES menu without leaving the couch.

Super easy to pair with my 8Bitdo and even PS4 controllers, and it works flawlessly with my NES and SNES Classic consoles. It brings new life to these systems by ditching the short wired controllers. The only downside is occasional latency with certain third-party controllers, but with 8Bitdo’s own pads it’s nearly perfect.

I searched on if anyone else used this for a mini but did not find any answers on it so Ill share my experience. I bought this so i could use a controller to play. As for the 8bitdo controller, once I plugged it into my SNES classic I just had to press the button on the reciever, and the start button on my 8bitdo controller. Instantly connected and started working. What more can I say, if you want to get this for the SNES/NES Classic Mini, this is what you need! Have not tried to connect other controllers though.Ok : After using this for a few hours I have one gripe with itOne downside of this product is the sync button is SO SMALL. when you plug it into your SNES Classic it kind of wiggles around and feels loose. When you try to press this TINY sync button, I feel almost as if I am going to break the reciever or the port itself. I also fumbled around trying to update the firmware on my PC since the button was so small I was trying to hold onto it while inserting it into the USB port, it was quite painful to do. I think they should make this button slightly bigger. The Long design of the unit also makes it feel flimsy when plugged into the SNES Classic and feel not very sturdy.If they ever revise this or even read our reviews, I think maybe they want to design it to be shorter so it doesnt feel like the port will break from us just pressing the sync button.But I would assume most people just sync once and forget about it so they wont touch the receiver often. For me I had the issue since I was trying to use the controllers both for my PC and the SNES classic

I had a hard time finding out if this would work connecting a Switch Pro Controller to a Wii U so here's some info from tests I've done.It works. Put the receiver into a wiimote and sync the receiver to Switch Pro Controller and it controls perfectly. It works with Wii U games as well as VC/eShop games.A few notes...The Home button wont work on the Pro Controller, and if you press the Home button on the Gamepad, the controls from the Switch Controller will spazz out. All you have to do is, leave the menu that popped up from hitting the Home button (go back into the game), uplug the receiver and plug it back in. You don't even have to re-sync it, the controller will still be tethered the the receiver.For VC/eshop games, this method doesn't always fix the 'hitting the Home button on the Gamepad' quirk. In this case, you unplug the receiver, restart the game (from the menu when you hit the ZR button on the Gamepad), and plug the receiver back in.Anyway, this fulfilled what I was hopping it would do. Hope this helps some of you guys.
