I have accidentally become a collector of USB controllers and USB adaptors. Some games really do play better with their original controller, notably 6-button Mega Drive games and N64. I have plenty of controllers where I own an adaptor but never even owned the original system.
8BitDo are a wonderful addition to this market. High quality repro controllers with modern features at reasonable prices. I'm glad they seem to be doing so well.
@suprjami Nice avatar.
I can relate! Apart from the pic above, I also have the Pro wired (my go-to controller for playing games on Steam), Ultimate (my choice for Xbox gaming), Pro 2 (wireless, perfect for my Surface/tablet), and their arcade stick.
What amazes me even more is that they offer firmware updates, which is pretty rare in the controllers category. Haha, I guess I sound like a true 8bitdo fanboy now, lmao!
