8Bitdo SF30 2.4G Wireless Controller for SFC Classic Edition

There are two of them in my possession. You can easily mod the SNES Classic (USA) to have the wireless adapters inside the SNES rather than on the outside, as shown in the picture I posted. Below is how to do it. Even someone who isn't good with electronics should be able to do it. br>br>Steps to follow: br>1) Remove the four screws from each 8bitdo wireless adapter (you'll need a torque screwdriver for this), then open and remove the internals. br>2) Take out the SNES Classic's four rubber feet/pads. br>3) Carefully open the SNES Classic by removing the four screws from beneath the rubber feet. br>4) Remove the two screws on the front of the SNES Classic and pull out the plastic section in front of the controller sockets. br>5) Insert the wireless adapter's internal components into the controller socket. br>6) Wrap the wireless adapter chip in electrical tape. br>7) Tape one of the adapters to the front portion of the SNES Classic and the other to the left side of the heat sink (as shown in my photo) so they don't rattle. br>8) Use the two screws to secure the socket holes plastic part to the front. 9) Replace the rubber feet on the SNES Classic and secure it with the four screws. br>10) if desired: So that the front cover does not open, glue it to the two controller socket holes on the front. br>br>It looks great, and the controllers work just like they do when plugged in outside the SNES.

My SN30 arrived today, as promised. It's exactly what the SNES Classic was in need of: a wireless controller that feels exactly right, with the same dimensions and proportions as the original. It was as simple as plugging in the receiver and pressing the start button on the controller to get it working. There is no need to fiddle with the pairing. A quick test on Super Metroid revealed that the controls are responsive and free of lag. Even if the battery life is only half as long as 8bitdo claims, it's still better than fancy modern wireless controllers with HD rumble, speakers, or LEDs built in. If you haven't yet hacked your SNES, Down Select will take you to the home menu. It's straightforward and straightforward, and it's ideal for the SNES. I'm pleased with myself. If I have any connectivity or reliability issues, I will update this review.

The updated wireless controllers for the SNES classic are a fantastic addition. As is customary, 8bitdo knocked it out of the park and delivered a flawless upgrade for this system. We had to wait for it, of course. I pre- They were ordered months ago and finally arrived in December 2017, which is when this review was written. br>br>I bought two of these, one in each color, for the SNES classic in the United States. Both of them work, so the only difference is cosmetic. Make a color scheme for yourself. br>br>At a distance of about 20 feet, I tested these controllers and found that there was no input lag at all. I used Super Mario World and Super Punch Out as benchmark testing games because they are both twitchy and would show input lag if it was an issue with the controllers. br>br>The tactile button pressing is excellent; it is not stiff at all when you first press it, and it is very tactile and satisfying. The only differences I could find were the cosmetic panel on the front and the flat back of the controller, which are nearly identical to the old SNES controllers in shape and size. The back of the controller on the original SNES was slightly contoured; the difference is barely noticeable, but it's worth noting for purists. br>br>The weight is good, a tad heavier than the original SNES controller, but after 20 years of using a heavy XBox controller, I actually wish the 8bitdo controller was a tad heavier, though others may disagree. There are no complaints about the quality, and the 2. The 4ghz dongle, the included cable, and the controller itself all appear to be high-quality items. They took about an hour to fully charge out of the box, and they automatically shut down after a short period of inactivity. For the sake of battery life, I wish the time required to turn off the controller was shorter, perhaps 5 or 10 minutes rather than the stated 15, but with a 25-hour play time, it should suffice. Advantages: br>br> br>The most important thing is that there is no input lag. br>Manufacturing with a high level of quality. br>Charge time is approximately an hour, with a battery life of 25 hours. br>Plug and play, no installation hardware, and no settings to fiddle with. Simple to do. br>Pressing a tactile button is a pleasant experience that is both quiet and seamless. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. br>They could be a little heavier, but they're still heavier than the original SNES controllers, so it's a matter of personal preference. br>Price: I paid about $25 for each of the two. The SNES system's cost nearly doubled as a result. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile. This is the controller you're looking for, in a nutshell. It is well worth the $25 price tag to upgrade your system with these controllers, and it is a MUCH better option than cord extensions. This is the one to get.

Look: You'd think it was a Nintendo controller if the controller didn't say 8bitdo on the front. Only the angle of the start and select buttons (which are horizontal on the 8bitdo) and the recession of the directional pad differ. br>Feel: The weight is almost perfect, and the entire controller feels fantastic, as if I were using a real SNES controller. It does have some grit to it, but that's to be expected with something new; start smoothing out the grit before using and wearing it. It doesn't have a cheap or plastic feel to it. br>br>Installation: br>br>Installation: br>br>Install It was as simple as taking the dongle out of the box, plugging it in, and turning it on. br>br>Battery: br>br>Battery: br>br>Battery: This controller has gone several hours without needing to be recharged right out of the box. I haven't charged it yet, despite the fact that I've had it for about 5 hours. (Update: Since writing this review, I've charged the controller twice, and it's now February. )br>br>I can't recommend this controller highly enough, especially as a replacement for the SNES classic's bundled controllers. For my setup, sitting close to the television or purchasing an absurdly long HDMI cable were not viable options. I'm going to give this controller a 9 because nothing is perfect. 9/10.

Yes, the ability to play from across the room is extremely convenient. Solid connection and long battery life; the adapters were disassembled and tucked in for a cleaner appearance.
