I had to reupload because of some audio issues. Enjoy, my dear nerds! ❤ Also, be an awesome nerd and help my nerdy channel by *subscribing and liking.* I'd appreciate it an awful lot if you did. :)
I mean it was released three years ago and got decent coverage imo. The problem was limited compatibility unlike the normal version. Analogue triggers are nice but from what I remember from reviews years ago compatibility with other standard? ! was the problem.
Nope, not an error. It was made for things like streaming games to your Android and stuff like that. It's very good for those who'd use it on Android, though. :)
I'm getting it for a portable setup where I'm using a fire TV stick lite with a usb powered mini projector and using Xbox cloud gaming app on the fire stick
As the controller meanwhile also officially works with Apple devices with newer OS versions, is there any hardware difference between the regular SN30 Pro version and this Xbox version here other than the adaptive L2/R2 triggers? Can this version here be connected via Bluetooth without a dongle like the regular version? Can it be connected by wired USB-C connection like the regular version?
hey, you are a good salesman! :D you convinced me withj the video to order the atomic green sn30 pro, i will write a review when it arrives :) thx for the video.
i have the sn30 pro g classic edition, works with pc, android, switch, and ios. also bought the phone holder and carry case. it's really comfortable and reliable. a very nice controller indeed.
Second point about the Legion y700 is easily understand. It's not exactly a portable handheld and you need to buy a telescopic controller like your one if you want to use it as a proper gaming tablet. Plus for the longest time it was literally a Chinese firmware product with a hacky global rom that was missing features like stylus support and delayed or even no notification support. Though due to the recent sales of less than $300 for the 2023 edition, several retro handheld reviewers have bought one and will probably release gaming focused reviews about it. Honestly there is way more info on bilibili or in other languages. Even Geekerwan released an in depth technical review, though only on bilibili, not RUclips.
I have this exact sn30 pro xbox controller, and I can use it on my ipad to play genshin. Recognized in-game like xbox controller. You do have to update the firmware first tho. I absolutely love this sleek black controller.
Funny seeing this right after using this controller. Absolutely love this controller but its lack of compatability is the biggest issue. I bought it with the understanding it was for android but a bit more usb compatability would be nice. And yeah, i trust no single reviewer at this point without further research. Seriously though, if this worked on xbox consoles it would be amazing.
The world is not talking about the Lenovo Legion Y700 2023 because it is not widely available to buy. By the way, where did you buy yours from? AliExpress?
Man, you are really outstanding, your voice reminds me of my childhood, when i listened to story tellers on tapes😄 Actually, the calm talking is very seldom nowadays, i could listen to you all day. Subscribed!
Can't thank you enough for this. I spent the last month spending hours figuring out which controller to get. I spent countless hours reading online and watching youtube videos. I wanted parallel joysticks and something smaller, lighter, and more comfortable for my hands. The SN30 Pro seemed like a good option but the lack of analog triggers was a deal-breaker. I was also worried about the lack of grips. Now I know for sure that this version is the one for me. THANK YOU. Btw, this should actually work for Windows if you use x360ce (controller emulator). Might also be pair-able with the 8Bitdo usb bluetooth adapter 2
i got my first 8bitdo pro 2 controller used 2 years ago and its condition was still pretty much brand new the analog sticks rubber have gotten worn down a bit and the start button has started mess up after all the times i used it, it still feels brand new, and i loved the controller so much i got another one full price next year, and even if its in D input mode it can still be used on pc and mac for emulators, i only had small problems with the two controllers but after turning them off and back on they started to work how they are supposed to, i really love these controllers
Speaking of stick drift the only controllers that ever drifted for me were joycons. But both xbox and switch pro controller I had them for years and they still work flavlessly without drift and trust me they went through a lot of abuse. I already droped both of them few times and switch pro stick was being beat up a lot from hours and years of playing smash bros. I also have 8bito sn30 pro but I use it mainly for phone and traveling because its so small and thus travel friendly since it doesnt take much space.
Honestly, I'm not sure. I think the Switch knows dInput (which means it should work), but please make sure to double check this, I don't want to give out false info.
I've actually been kicking myself for being late with the latest video that I'm working on. I'll most probably publish it sometime tomorrow. Thanks btw man, your words of encouragement hit the right spot. ❤️
No weakness there! The MM and MM+ are genuinely the only handhelds that I always swear by. Just make sure to have a name-brand SD card (128gb) prepared for when it arrives and flash Onion OS on it + tiny best set (I can't provide links, but there's a guide on reddit for that, first search result I think). These two things make it 1000 times better. It's a set-it-and-forget-it type of setup, absolutely optimal in every way. Beats any other handheld firmware out there by miles. The original Miyoo Mini (v1) basically showed that there's demand for such handhelds, and immediately after it, others started appearing like mushrooms. It's the Godfather of them all. ❤️
@@VladNerd I would argue it was actually the Funkey S that really kicked the mini/micro revolution. Mind you though, by that thinking, you could argue that the MicroSprite was really the first but that unit suffered from not actually being able to be played without permanent injury. 😉👍
More than their otger controllers this controller has crazy limited compatability so I would guess it is on the lower end for sales despite its quality.
This is really a niche model of the SN30. Not clickbaity at all. People who buy this either know what they want (and how they're gonna use it), or they don't know that it doesn't work on PC yet. This made it way less popular than other variants, even though it full-on deserved more spotlight (if only for the analog triggers)
@@VladNerd i understand that you happy with your buy but i can use my default sn30 on anything, switch, android, pc, mac and losing all of that just for analogue triggers? Idk i cant call this somewhere "gem" also when hall effect versions came out
@@cephmind74 Different strokes for different folks. :) Personally, analogue triggers in their SNES-style controller layout was just what I was looking for. I am tempted of getting one of the transparent ones as well, though.

No Windows compatibile? There's must be an error
Nope, not an error. It was made for things like streaming games to your Android and stuff like that. It's very good for those who'd use it on Android, though. :)
@@VladNerd have u tried with cable connection? Xbox give their license only to wired controllers
How about the wireless receiver?
I have that controller and use it on my pc, but I had to buy a wireless adapter to connect it.
I can confirm it works on Windows, just connect through bluetooth.
which controller has accurate d-pad SN30 Pro for Andriod or SN30 Pro Bluetooth ? And Can you Swap D-PAD to Left Stick on SN30 Pro Bluetooth ??
Bought it for iphone, hope it will work. On their webage it's stated that it will from ios 16.3
Does it work with iOS now?
@@75and1 yes
This can work in a windows pc using xoutput and or using steam
The one in the thumbnail is icky. Seeing what is obviously a SNES inspired controller with silly Xbox backwards ABXY offends my delicate senses.
can the controller connect to a series x wirelessly?
I'm getting it for a portable setup where I'm using a fire TV stick lite with a usb powered mini projector and using Xbox cloud gaming app on the fire stick
There must be drivers to make it work with Windows. I would have got one by now if it worked with Windows and Android by default.
all around positive reviews on this controller and majority of 8bitdo in general 🤙🏽
Does this work on Steam now? I would love to have this controller for my laptop.

Have you checked out there new xbox 3 mode pro controller
hey, you are a good salesman! :D you convinced me withj the video to order the atomic green sn30 pro, i will write a review when it arrives :) thx for the video.
Thanks, but I'm not a salesman. I'm just talking about stuff I like. 😄
The atomic green one looks amazing, though ❤️
peak comfort? man i play claw, there is no way im using that controller without having pain
Idk my guy, SNES controllers always felt comfy go me. It's the NES ones that killed my wrists. 😆
Bought one a few months ago and always keep it in my bag. It's great!
Will it work with steam deck?

Just bought one today here in New Zealand! Great vid bro
Would you recommend this for travel?
The new versions have hall effect joysticks

I fully agree with everything you pointed out here. :)

Yup, AliExpress (link in description).
I think other reviewers should've reviewed it more anyway tbh, since it's a genuinely good value proposition.
Man, you are really outstanding, your voice reminds me of my childhood, when i listened to story tellers on tapes😄 Actually, the calm talking is very seldom nowadays, i could listen to you all day. Subscribed!

its this running for pc gameplay?
Can't thank you enough for this. I spent the last month spending hours figuring out which controller to get. I spent countless hours reading online and watching youtube videos.

It does work on PC

I also have some old Xbox 360 controllers, they also still work well. 😄
@@VladNerd Me too but I dont use them anymore but they never drifted either.
Can this controller be used on the switch?
Honestly, I'm not sure. I think the Switch knows dInput (which means it should work), but please make sure to double check this, I don't want to give out false info.
Great video, love your growing channel. Keep it up!
I've actually been kicking myself for being late with the latest video that I'm working on. I'll most probably publish it sometime tomorrow. Thanks btw man, your words of encouragement hit the right spot. ❤️
is it work with steam deck? anyone??
I don't know tbh, maybe someone can answer if Linux supports dinput. If it does, the controller should work.
Can it connect to Xbox Series via wireless bluetooth?
I don't think it can, it's mostly made for Android
@@VladNerd Anyway would be awesome for my Steam Deck or maybe remote play from Xbox to Deck. Thanks bro, great video.
I love love love 8bitdo controllers. In my collection lad as are it's many successors.
Thanks lad. I was weak again man. Miyoo mini v4 in yellow on its way. Sigh.

Oh damn, I forgot about the Funkey S. I always loved the form factor and size, but it was borderline impossible to get my hands on one. 😄
@@VladNerd Ok, I'm feeling real shame at this point, I've three of them, GC Purple, GB OG and the new yellow variant. They're my precioussss. 😉👍
The regular SN30 Pro does work on Windows, but this version doesn't. A total bummer because I prefer Xbox layout on my face buttons.
It does work
@@jonskupee It does??? Help I'm so confused how
@@ifritkid Atleast in Steam games
What "Nobody buying" mean? Theres a fkin trend to lick everything about 8bit, and they really deserve it. Very bad clickbait
