I've always thought these look cool, but I can't imagine liking the aim with the right analog stick with your thumb coming 90 degrees from the side and all your left and right fine aiming coming from your main thumb digit

This is a deprecated product that uses old Bluetooth protocol, which may be incompatible with modern Bluetooth earbuds when connected at the same time, purchase with caution. Also, older firmware has issue with joystick dead zone. Generally speaking, this is not a great controller, apart from the excellent aesthetics, only suitable for retro gaming in 2D.

So it's Bluetooth Classic instead of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)? Not to confuse with the "G Classic" label which I believe refers to the controller design aesthetics.

The new Teslas only use Bluetooth Classic protocol for Arcade gaming.

I use this and (multiple brands of) 'modern Bluetooth earbuds' with zero issue via my steam Deck, laptop, Samsung Tablet. "May be incompatible" sounds like a hypothetical. And FWIW, upon a quick search, this claimed problem has been updated long ago via new firmware....which leads me to.....

"Older firmware" impacting dead zones? So the firmware has been replaced therefore isn't worth discussing since that (claimed / perceived) issue is long gone?

"Generally speaking"...I am not sure your complaints make much sense unless someone is buying used or for some crazy reason feels like downgrading their joystick's firmware.

Silliness side, if someone can wait for a slow boat from China and doesn't mind the gray, the below is $20-ish on AE (and that is before coupons)

Thanks! I got it for ~$12 shipped after my coins and discounts. Cool

I'm supposed to get it by Nov. 16 whereas the Best Buy date is Nov.12, so not too bad there. Wink

Glad I can help, and also glad to know I am not the only one who abuses the coin page. That 40 cents a day adds up (not as much as it used to before they nerfed it)

FWIW, I bought the SN30 from this same store 2-3 months ago and it showed up perfect. I probably paid $14-ish. My only complaint is the lack of the xbox layout (still run it in xbox config) but I knew it had the Nintendo layout going in so isn't a slight against the controller. They sell replacement xbox buttons for only $2.99 but 8bitdo's site is always out of stock.

/pointless rant about buttons no one asked for
