Fun fact... Nintendo did not reverse the placement of these buttons.

It's a controller. If it works, it works. Most modern controllers aren't really better than ones from 2007.

Fantastic deal! I would not recommend this controller for Switch though. Nintendo reverses their buttons B, A and Y, X instead of A, B and X, Y. This may be confusing w in-game prompts.

Using this button layout controller on Switch, "Press A to continue" would really be the B button on this controller.
Just wondering if Switch games allow you to reprogram your controller buttons like most Pc games do. If so then this shouldn't be an issue.

There's a very similar version of this controller with XBox branding on Woot for $2 less.

I can't speak to the internal parts but all 8BitDo controllers I own are fantastic.

In short, no, not always (at least not to change the labeling.)

You can change the button mappings via a downloadable tool from 8bitDo's website (requires a Windows PC or Mac.)

Honestly, I think there are better wired controllers for Switch, some even by 8BitDo themselves. This is good for PC/Xbox.

You can get into the system settings and swap buttons around for the Pro Controller, as well as 3rd-party controllers that present to the console as "Pro Controller". It's clunky but can be done.

Heard that the old controllers are much better quality. I have two xbox 360 controllers that are still working great after over 5 years.
Agreed, I've dumped enough money into official Xbox One and Series controllers and they always have buttons stick or worse after like 6 months. After about 4 of them in different styles I'm convinced it's just poor manufacturing. First party don't mean what it used to, eh?

I currently use Xbox 360 wired controller from 2007, surprisingly it still works. Would this 8 bitdo worth upgrading, mainly rpi3 emulators
Not only is the 360 one of the best console controllers I thinks it's also one of the best pc controllers as well.

Never understood backwards capability in game consoles and Steam Deck. No one actually goes back and plays old games. Every one is focus on current gen games. For that reason, I see no reason to own a Steam Deck.
You most be joking retro gaming is more popular then ever.Why do you think that the prices older systems have gone up so much even younger kids are buying this systems to collect them.

The modern video game market is $200b per year. The retro gaming market: ebay, reddit etc as your citation for size is not "huge". Likely less than 0.1% of the broader market. It's also mostly illegal and unlicensed. there isn't much information on it's actual size other than a few notes about $100m a year vintage game market.

I am a big retro gaming fan, but it's not a big market.
What's wrong with your math? first off the gaming market did 76 billion so your way off if retro game isn't that popular why are making so many compilation disk?And store just like car dealers make more pure profit of if used products then they do new.So 100million on used games is crazy I sell on eBay and I have sold things I only paid 17 bucks and resold it for $150 bucks so know the power of that market GameStop isn't failing because user gamers aren't selling it's because it's gone online.

Do you think Playstation and Xbox came out before Nintendo? What is your logic behind saying Nintendo reversed the buttons?

No.

The SNES established the norm and was out many years before the XBOX. The Atari Jaguar came along and seconded Nintendo's decision.
