This seems better than any of the popular deals on 8bitdo controllers right now. Saved me like $15 over ordering from Amazon.

Quote from Xenocide23 :
Except this will get hit by import duty tariffs. De-minimus exception is dead as of tomorrow.

blBetter to buy from Amazon and avoid that nonsense.
So what you said is true outside of items already in the US.

If you look at the link provided this is shipped from the US and not shipped from overseas. It's exempt from tariffs.

Just be mindful of where the items are coming from when your purchase.

Hi, I am a little bit confused. OP stated this is not compatible with XBOX, but the link is a XBOX controller specifically stating it has XBOX gamepad. So, are they the same?

I don't own an XBOX and will be using this for the Switch. My question is about the gamepad buttons. Starting from north and going clockwise. Switch is XABY, but the XBOX is YBAX. If I were to use this, does it follow what's printed or what's the button location?

Can I use this for the Switch or do I need a different version? Thank you.

Saying "Only 1 Left" for black, ordered and now it's showing "Only 10 Left" lol. Very curious about how their stock management backend works.

Most likely the XBOX here refers to the XInput schema and its layout by Microsoft. This works on Switch because Switch is compatible with XInput Bluetooth controller of any kind, but does not work on Xbox itself because it limits Bluetooth compatibility to only original Xbox controllers afaik (you might notice most if not all 3rd party Xbox controllers are wired).

Correction: there are 3rd party wireless controllers for Xbox, but they need to be approved by MS. Eg Razer Wolverine V3 Pro Wireless Gaming Controller

That's correct Smilie I own two and they don't work on my Xbox console but when I pair it to my Android tablet, iPhone or PC, it uses XInput (it shows up as an 'Xbox Wireless Controller' under the Bluetooth pairing menu).

I hate how these are shaped, it makes your wrist hurts or you have to hold them funny with your hands. I have big hands, the slight slope of real Xbox controllers saves a ton on the wrist and hands. Might not be true for smaller hands, but that's my experience.

This Anbernic looks almost exactly like the 8Bitdo ultimate one, from the same mold probably even. As someone with medium hands(US sizing) I can say the 8Bitdos are okay comfortable for me. IMO Xbox Series Controller and NS Pro tie first place.

9hr battery isn't great, and it's non-replaceable/swappable too. I greatly prefer the 8bitdos that come with a rechargeable pack that you can also just stick AAs into
