Wired connection is a bit confusing- I thought it wasn't working on my Linux system since I plugged in and nothing showed up, but reading the instructions it seems there are different ways to turn it on based on what system you are connecting to, start+X for windows mode and now it is working fine.Joysticks seem perfect, hope they really last as long as they say they do. Great dpad. Build quality overall feels a little cheaper than the wired version which is odd.. But its not bad at all. Can't comment on bluetooth as I have nothing to connect it to - just bought it for the better sticks (with moderate use, the sticks on the wired version are a total gamble if you will get 6 months, 1 year, 2 if you are really lucky before they start not coming back to full center)Wish they had these sticks on the wired one..I honestly should take a star off for the ridiculously short cable that it comes with - a whopping 40 inches - so if you plan to use this plugged in you better have a laptop or a really close PC. I had a spare c-cable lying around, but if not I'd have had to buy one. If they aren't going to sell wired with upgraded sticks they should give a decent length cable with this! But, the controller itself is great, so guess I'll leave it as is.

A really great universal controller that's REALLY packable!
I love these little rascals. I carry these around in my Switch and Commodore 64 cases. They travel well, they're pretty durable even though I'm really hard on my gear.It takes me a couple of seconds to get these synced up to either my Switch or my C64 with a Bluetooth adapter (I use the Unijoystickle 2 adapter on the C64).I only have 2 complaints about these.#1. It doesn't wake up the Switch. Since I've had aftermarket controllers that can do it, why doesn't the SN30 pro? You'd think, once you told it to use Switch mode, it would just be able to do it. But NO. WHY?#2. I have to keep going through the whole process of selecting a mode and then the SYNC button every time I use it with the C64, which is just pairing up a generic Bluetooth. Why doesn't it just keep the pairing info from the last use? I don't have this problem when playing on the Unijoystickle with the Nintendo Pro Controller. I just wake it up and press the button on the C64 and it works.I love the D-Pad, I love the thumbsticks & the whole thing really. I play mostly 2-d games so this layout really serves me well, and I find that C64 games, both on the C64 and emulation on the Switch, play better with this than almost any C64 joystick.

Great option for RetroPi systems.
The controller is of high quality and feels great with clicky buttons and an exceptional D-Pad. The shoulder and trigger buttons have a longer throw but that is the case of these type of buttons. Analogue sticks are precise and feel well constructed. I haven’t had the ability to use the rumble function as I’m not sure or know how to set it up in retro arch. It pairs well with my Raspberry Pi. Battery life is good but a low power indicator of some kind would be great.

SN30 Pro + Cybertruck = 👍
Compatible with the Cybertruck. I used the [Start] - [B] mode on the controller and it paired with the vehicle with all the buttons mapped correctly. Best of all, the Gray Edition is color coordinated with the interior. See pic for perfect storage location.Just FYI, I had a 2018 Model 3 and every controller I tried paired successfully, but newer Teslas are really picky.

For on the road gamers
Absolutely love this controller! Can be a little weird connecting it to some things but once you get the hang of it, it's easy. If it wasn't for that it would get 5 stars

Works great with Anbernic RG35XXSP!
Works great with my portable device (Anbernic RG35XXSP) giving me an arcade like experience when running MAME through my 24” monitor.

SNES memories
This controller works great for pc and for the Nintendo switch. I for sure purchased it because of its old school look that takes me back to my childhood days

Great SNES inspired controller.
This is a cool little SNES inspired controller. It's easy to connect via Bluetooth and works pretty well. The hall effect sensors on the thumb sticks should prevent stick drift over the long term. The buttons feel great, but the top RB/LB and RT/LT are a bit small if you have bigger hands. You can get used to it, but it's definitely more suited to daintier hands.Overall its a great controller and I'm happy with the purchase.
