  • Great starter stick with room to grow.
Style: Arcade Stick
Worked great out of the box on both Windows and Linux, and works great with wired, BT and the included 2.4ghz dongle on both platforms. Since it supports Xinput, it's detected by just about everything you could throw at it on PC. Wonderful for retro emulation, particularly for arcade games. Haven't personally tried the Switch mode yet, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work just as well. The stick is hefty and stays in place even with vigorous use due to a metal plate inside the bottom giving it staying power. Like some other users here I don't care for the square gate, even though pro fighter players swear by them. Replaced it with a SANWA JLF octagonal gate and I couldn't be happier. Took me maybe 10 minutes, 5 of which was just figuring out how to safely detach the old gate. Being so affordable yet completely moddable with higher end parts makes this a great entry level arcade/fight stick with plenty of room to grow to match even high end arcade sticks in quality. It would be nice if the stick were more easily modded without a soldering iron, but the fact that it can be modded at all is enough for me if I ever get to that point. If you do want to open it up, unfortunately you'll need a narrow t10 screwdriver. The iFixit screwdriver just barely fits, so if you've got anything even slightly bigger than that or no t10 at all, you'll also want to pick up a smaller screwdriver if you have any plans of modding this thing. It would have been nice if you just used standard phillips screws. When you put the stick in Nintendo Mode, it reverses the A/B and X/Y buttons, even including new light-up indicators showing the buttons. While the LEDs are a nice touch, I don't really see a point to this reversal personally, I'd have preferred a consistent button layout across platforms. It doesn't make much sense to me. Just because the buttons change places on a gamepad doesn't mean they should on an arcade stick which uses a completely different form factor. I rely pretty heavily on muscle memory which is adapted to whatever controller I'm using, so I'm sure this would trip me up if I used it on the Switch. My biggest complaint, which is still a very small complaint, is the limitations on the macro software. I wish you could bind buttons that aren't on the gamepad to the macro buttons, particularly L3/R3 or even keyboard buttons. One of the games I play uses the L3+R3 button combination occasionally and it would be nice to be able to bind it to one of the macro buttons, and occasionally it would be nice to hit a keyboard binding too. Overall, fantastic stick. ... show more

  • Decent Entry level fightstick. Probably a great buy if you like arcade games more than fighters.
Style: Arcade Stick
The MAIN CON to this arcade stick is that it doesn't feature a name brand joystick or buttons. They are very serviceable, especially if you've never use Sanwa/Seimitsu/etc. I actually really liked the stick and buttons until my Sanwa parts got here. The stock stick and buttons are much worse by comparison. You can replace them, but it isn't as easy as 8BitDo claims. Firstly, they use security screws instead of phillips or some other common screw type. Secondly, you might think like I did "I have a screw driver with interchangeable bits, I can open this". No you can't. The screws are in so deep that they prevent anything but a proper T10 screw driver from reaching them. Secondly, while the buttons are fairly easy to replace the joystick isn't. You will need to by a 5pin adaptor or solder on your joystick. It also doesn't support every joystick. Seimitsu in particular is a no-go. If you have VERY large hands you might find there isn't enough room for your left hand. Even with normal sized hands I would say your right hand barely has enough room to maneuver to the bottom buttons comfortably. However, this is a small-mid sized arcade stick so that is to be expected I suppose. THE PROS: Its amazing to look at. I love the aesthetic. I love the wireless nature and long battery life. The wireless latency is indistinguishable from wired to me. I love how it has LEDs for the buttons so when you swap between X input and switch it swaps the buttons around for you. I think more controllers need to use this feature. If 8BitDo makes another version of this I would like it to be slightly bigger and easier to access. I would also like it to use Sanwa parts. I would have gladly spent $150 on this if it had these features. ... show more
