What customers say about "Features"

8Bitdo SN30 Pro+ Wireless Bluetooth Gamepad

Used it on Switch and PC mostly and had no issues with connectivity.
Battery life is enough, I find that I need to charge about once a week, I play about 1-2 hours a day, so that's fine.
Controller is very easy to pair and has different pairing modes for different consoles.
The software is amazing and lets you set up the controller to whatever preferences you like, such as trigger dead zones or the strength of the rumble.
Great build quality.
