They feel fine, accurate D-pad, a bit more ergonomic than the original controllers. I just wish they used sliders for turbo instead of additional buttons.

Unfortunately these don't support the "Rolling Technique" which could help level up your scores.

These were around 12/15 depending on the color a couple years ago this isnt a great deal Imo.
Everything was cheaper a few years ago! If you're buying these today it's a good deal.

Not listed on 8bitdo website under compatibility [8bitdo.com]but there's a post from 5 years ago from some guy saying that they do work on Windows. Maybe someone else can confirm

A few folks here believe they can reach back in time to that price. We call them the. Budget Benders. Seriously though these type of posters are taxing on patience ..

Also, the Analogue Duo's release and subsequent jailbreak certainly spiked demand over the past year.

I have a feeling that these are likely discontinued and 8BitDo is running through backstock. I was really wanting to get the US/TG16 variation, but they've been sold out any and everywhere for nearly half a year. Also, I'm not certain how the law pertains to it, but if they can't sell this controller in the EU if it was manufactured starting this year due to the Micro-USB charge connector I really don't see them making a revision with USB-C like they have recently for their more popular controllers.

Basically, if you want one, buy now. I doubt this controller is being restocked once sold out. Maybe in a year or two they'll bring it back w USB-C if there's enough clamoring, but since the Analogue Duo was so niche compared to the Pocket, or even SuperNT or MegaSG, I just don't see it.

That said, I have the EU/Core version and it's by far one of my least favorite 8BitDo Controllers. I tend to use one of my M30 or SN30 my Duo since they're so much more comfortable.

Finally, for the folks wondering if it works w PC, yes, it does.

I still have the original TurboGraphix console with two controllers and games! Also had the Turbo Express portable, but it was stolen.. Great console back in the days!!
