As a 35 y/o who sometimes will game a few days a row but also sometimes go a month without touching the controller, I fricking love this controller. It's always ready to pick up and play.

OP's link is to the manufacturer's Amazon storefront. I purchased one here the last time it was on sale and everything was legit.

EDIT: Some Amazon shadiness it seems. You're right - it's a third party and the 8Bitdo storefront link was a surreptitiously placed "Sponsored" and link to the official store which happened to populate at the top of the page.

Advantage of this vs the $24 version on sale being charging dock?

Are all buttons mappable for Android on both?

I think the cheaper one does not have back paddles and only rumble. Not the better "hall effect" I'm not sure. If you want simple get the $24. If you want basically the "switch pro" get this.

Popular brand, but not popular with the retro crowd apparently because of the D-pad

I was just looking at these last night. Anyone know how easy it is to get gyro working on the PC through Steam? I see mixed reviews online, some people say plug and play (as long as you use controller wired) and other people say you need at least one 3rd party program.

Side question, how are the knock off 'Pro' controllers compared to the OEM or 8Bitdo (PC use again) assuming I don't care about actual Hall Effect, etc. I just want it to work, with gyro, for the limited amount of times I am forced to game on my laptop. BTW, not against non-Switch Pro style controllers but my understanding those are pretty much the gold standard for PC and gyro. Open to other suggestions.

An incredible controller and my go to even over the KK3. Has dongle, charging base, and works over Bluetooth. Hall effect sticks are great and feels good in your hand. I bought 2 on the last sale and love them.
