Questions & Answers

Do you know if it's compatible with Retron ?

I tested it on both my retron 5 and Super NT computer and it worked fine

Several people were complaining about the dpad on the wired Scout The controllers are identical, so has this been improved? Or is it just the same, with a wireless capability?

I find it to be fine. The DPad on one of my 8bitdo controllers I own gives me problems when it comes to pressing multiple unwanted directions simultaneously, such as if you hold down, but press right, and vice versa. I have not noticed those issues on this one. Despite the improvements in the controller dpads, the original version still has a superior feel.

The retro-gaming snes portables just like this one are compatible with this What is the bit rate for RDP?

This controller works with my Super NT, so if your RDP has a snes controller slot, it will work with this controller.

What is the compatibility of this controller to nes games on the Nintendo Switch?

It is true. SNES and NES games work well on it, and you can pair it with the Switch. When you first pair it, it can be a bit finicky, but once it is paired, it works well. My son uses it for Super Mario Bros as well. There is no charge for the controller and it works with other games with similar controls to those of the

This is an excellent product for the price
4/5

This is the first time you are going to find a product that compares to this at this price. Hyperkin is not my favorite, but I have to admit that this value is insane. This is the result of lag For less money, you can get a wireless SNES. The design is just about flawless if you don't insist on 100% authenticity. As a result, it is not perfect. The first thing it lacks is aesthetic appeal. This device is white and unattractive, as well as this I find the dongle itself to be a bit of an eyesore when connected to Additionally, it has smaller face buttons than the original SNES controllers, which work well, but are small by comparison. In this case, the D- I enjoy the feeling of the pad, but it does not feel mushy like the SNES controller did The information is accurate, nevertheless. With nearly no problem, I was able to complete eight out of ten shoryukens using SSF2. Also, even though the controller has been redesigned to be more ergonomic than the original SNES controller, it is not nearly as comfortable as the older The plus side is that despite its flaws, this is still an excellent I don't think you can go wrong with this one. A bluetooth DIY kit for a real SNES controller shell along with a retro receiver or 16-bit SN30 or 32-bit SN30 GP from 8bitdo would be the best way to achieve the most authenticity. Though these options are better, they are also more expensive. You get more bang for your buck with these options. This is what it is.

There's just no other way to put it
5/5

Getting this for my newly acquired Analogue Super NT was a great decision. It appears that there are fewer wireless SNES controller options as there are few on the market. Thank you for making this one The second edition is a no frills one. Wireless controller for SNES with a 4GHz signal. It does not come with any gimmicks such as a turbo button However, it has a more modern and ergonomic design, which makes it more comfortable for my hands to use. It only requires you to plug in a controller, pair it with the receiver, and it works immediately. There seems to be no lag for me. The design would have been better if the colors were made to mimic the Super Famicom. In general, I'm glad with how this turned out. This is a very easy.

There is no discernible lag in this program
5/5

As a result, there is almost no lag (I have to say virtually, because it takes time for any signal to receive), and there is no lag at all in Aladdin and Super Mario World (both of which use XYAB). Playing with small children is really convenient with this device. It works really well and is very convenient. It looks like I'm going to order another one for my son if it holds up the next few months. I only find two drawbacks, neither of which I felt was sufficient for me to lower my rating to four stars individually or collectively. Here are two things I want to point out about the instructions They are clear and simple, You can follow these instructions, but the unit will not sync with the dongle if you do nothing else. In order to sync the dongle, you must press the small black circle on the front of the dongle *and then* press the sync button on the controller. Whenever I did this, it paired within five seconds, probably even less. In spite of this, this instruction, as intuitive as it may be, isn't included The second issue was that I found the controller pretty small. As an adult who doesn't have particularly large hands or fingers (in fact, they're probably a little smaller than average), I found it to be relatively confined. The only thing I would change is to make it a little bit larger. The fact that I can recall how huge the controllers felt in my hands when I was 10 may have something to do with it. It's not so bad that I can't handle it. It is very rare that I accidentally touch the A button when I am pressing Whenever you ride Yoshi in Super Mario World, you'll be able to jump higher and further Your expectations were not met when you ejected from him. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that my thumb was positioned However, if you have large hands, this might become an issue. This might be a unique experience for you, or perhaps you are used to it and have adjusted accordingly. I like it because it has good aesthetics, is convenient, and seems to hold well with its buttons relatively solid. I love how responsive it is, how easy it is to pair, and how well it works! As long as it holds up, I would recommend it and would buy another. Hyperkin, you did an excellent job!.

Switch is easy to connect, and retron is easy to use
5/5

You're right, I love This is my new favorite gaming I've tested it on both my Nintendo Switch and my Retron, and they both work properly. A multifunctional device that has all the necessary buttons and feels high This battery lasts an extremely long time. D- There is a nice feel to this pad, with full multidirectional functionality including diagonals. This is a great controller, and I highly recommend it. The classic controller style will suit anyone who loves the classic controller feel.

That's great! It's a great gamepad for the SNES
4/5

The display has excellent colors and the battery life is excellent. I play a lot of fighting games and shmups. I have experienced zero input lag. There is no doubt that this pad has excellent build quality. I find it to be comfortable to hold and doesn't feel cheap. It took me a few months to write this review since I have never been satisfied with Hyperkin products in the past. The gamepad is still in excellent shape. There is only one downside, which is that I don't think it works with The arcade stick could be compatible with it, which would be the coolest thing ever.

The retro look is awesome This is a cool device
5/5

As a gift for my nephew, I purchased this game for him for Christmas The pick of the day. As far as he's concerned, it works really well, connects easily to his Android device, and makes playing games on his phone a lot easier. He says whenever he is seen using it by someone new, he is always questioned and complimented.

It works with the original system and is worth it
5/5

Although skeptical about it working with my original Super Nintendo System, I was willing to give it a try since my neck isn't as comfortable bending up at an angle of 180 degrees as it was I love the game. There is no lag, and it feels like a game that has been played for a long time already (I hated buying new Super Nintendo controllers and the stiff buttons). My second one is so amazing that I ordered a third.

The NES version works with the dongle
4/5

The Scout BT does not come with a dongle, but I used one that came with the retron HD 3 bundle from Hyperkin and it worked great. Considering all of the other options out there, this device is not my favorite for PCs and emulating. On the other hand, I recommend it for use on The NES dongle is the best way to play. Quite simply, it is excellent.
