So if they are charging way extra for shipping and not doing a discount on multiple then the $18 price is just for show. Hard to get on board if the company is gonna try to play games.

Biggest issue though is the reviewer mentioned lag. Nothing kills playing games like controller lag

The lag you're referencing actually comes from connecting the controller via Bluetooth directly to Anbernic's own handheld products so it's not really a widespread issue.

Would the Brook Wingman XB 3 Converter make this controller work wirelessly on an Xbox?

Quote from whiskershire_sauce :
any comparisons to 8bitdo c controllers?
Yes, early reviews are showing they they either copied the molds nearly down to the centimeters or they are using the same ODM. The C controllers have their "bonus" buttons inline with the shoulder buttons where as the Anbernic they are on the back in a more traditional place.

Reviewers commented joysticks are of similar quality *but* 8bitdo's seem to require more force (which some people might find good or bad, its preference) but the anbernic sticks give a "lighter" feel.

The D-Pad is elevated from the shell compared to the 8bitdo.

I would say the most likely biggest difference for folks is the anbernic *allows* you to SELECT if you want Xinput or Dinput. This is a big deal for some. I love my 2c, it was cheap ($30), is well built, has wonderful battery life, etc. What don't I like? If you want to go straight bluetooth you can ONLY connect with Dinput. xinput only works via USB-C or the included dongle. Yes I understand the dongle will give me better latency, but there are always going otr be times where I forget the dongle, or it's in the other room, and in those instances I would like the OPTION to just use Xinput regardless of connection method. Anbernic provides this, 8bitdo does not (at least on the C line).

Latency tests. That's all I need t see if it's comparable to 2C. Given it's a Chinese company, I would bet on high latency.

I've had 2 misses and 1 solid quality from the Chinese knock offs from Amazon but for 20$ a pop it'll save it once you hit gold

I haven't seen an aftermarket Dual Sense. I really want something with hall effect with low latency

Anyone actually try this. Xbox controller work seamless on PC. This one going to require extensive mapping?

Anyone know if the back buttons can be mapped in Steam? To keyboard strokes, not other buttons on the controller that is.
