8Bitdo Zero 2 Bluetooth Gamepad Keychain Sized Mini Controller for Switch, Windows, Android, macOS & Raspberry Pi(Pink Edition) - Nintendo Switch

This is a really great, tiny controller! I got this specifically for Mariokart on my Switch Lite. It’s so nice to be able to play another way. I still need to figure out how to pair multiple controllers at the same time, but I do believe that it’s possible. The controller is so small that it fits inside my case for my Switch Lite, so it takes up almost no space at all. It’s just as easy to bring it with me on the go as it is to just bring the Switch. It’s very easy to pair, and it typically stays paired after you set it up. Despite its small size, I don’t think that it’s any more difficult to use than the controls on the Switch itself. It’s also a cute color, I have the teal one as well. It doesn’t have all of the controls that the Switch has, so it won’t work well with certain games, but it definitely works well for Mariokart. I would recommend this to anyone who loves gaming and wants a super portable alternative controller.

Really good mini controller! I went to play games for the first time with my toddler and quickly realized his hands were to small to grip a standard controller AND hit buttons. I remembered back some 20 years ago I had a GameCube micro controller and figured something similar existed now. After alot of research I landed on this one, the size looked good and it is geared to retro gaming which is what I'm getting my toddler started on. The quality and battery life are solid, it fits his hands perfectly and it works great on our Switch and PC. When he upgrades to a larger platform with sticks I'll definitely consider 8bitdo again.For reference it is similar in size to one Switch chuk but way more comfortable to hold and easier to use.

Purchased to play platformer games on Android. Works flawlessly. If it's unreliable, I'll update, but so far I'm extremely impressed for the price point. Good things: Wireless/led indicators/decent buttons/surprisingly comfortable/low latency/easy pairing/comes with charging cable and wrist lanyard?Bad things: None yet.First Update: 4/13/2023. Beat my first 2D platformer with it. No pain and responsive enough to handle challenging level design. Battery life is incredible. I still carry it in my pocket and it hasn't caused issues other than it can press stuff on your phone if you don't turn Bluetooth off. Definitely turn your phone Bluetooth off. Face buttons work very well, Dpad feels great and feels better in game than my first impressions led me to believe. Shoulder buttons work well, but are kinda annoyingly loud if you're paying attention to or trying to be quiet. I don't need the extra shoulder buttons, so the extra pocket space is way more important to me than more shoulder buttons. If you fall in that category, you'll probably love this.

This controller is absolutely tiny. I say that right off the bat as if you've got larger hands, you might want to just look at the other controllers 8bitdo has, I'd recommend the SN30/SN30 pro series. If you've got trouble holding a sideways joycon, you will have trouble holding this. It's just a bit bigger than an airpod case, and pulling it out of the box made me realize just how small it is. I can clench my entire fist around it, and yet all the buttons for a default snes controller are here. It's quite impressive. It's light to carry around, but has a surprising weight to it. Again, to compare it to an airpod case, it's lighter than that, maybe around half it's weight.The controller comes with a wrist strap, a godsend as I fear if I sneeze while holding this it will go hurling across the room. No usb-c charging, unfortunately, it just comes with one of those android chargers, whatever they're called. The cable itself is also super tiny, no larger than 3-4 inches. I'm a little upset to see this, as the SN30 pro+ had usb-c charging and a nice long cable to boot.The buttons all feel nice to press, and the L and R buttons feel extremely clicky. Much better than the default joycon controllers. The dpad has a small issue detecting down forward diagonally, but the rest of the diagonals feel perfect, and even then the problem goes away as soon as I put just a bit more pressure than I'm used to. It might just be an issue with me. The front of the controller has a glossy finish, which always seems to get smudges and prints all over it. It's got a 1-2 hour charging time, and an 8 hour long battery life, supposedly. Again, a little sad, seeing that the SN30 pro+ can last me days, but comparing this controller to the premium controller 8bitdo has to offer is a bit unfair.This controller does what it advertises extremely well, and works on everything that has bluetooth. Switch, android, xinput, even ios, which I'm sure is perfect for people with a lot of different devices. If you're looking for a high quality third party controller, look at the SN30 models. They're extremely high quality, and one of my new favorites. But if you just want a small controller to take with you for travel, you absolutely can't go wrong with this. It's basically designed for NES, SNES, Gameboy, and Gameboy Advance emulators, and has been wonderful to use while on the road. It even has a keyboard functionality, so you can use it as a way to use hotkeys in drawing programs! The keys that are avaliable are, c d e f i j g h k m n o, pressing all of the buttons, the triggers, start and select, and the dpad. I'm sure someone much smarter than me could probably figure out how to remap the buttons to get what you need, and a video somewhere out there has to exist talking about this controller in that way.

Works great for Anki, and super easy to set up. Charge lasts long and connection is solid. If you do hundreds of Anki cards a day, definitely worth the price.

It worked fine for a month, but then after a while the buttons became really sensitive - spamming the programmed key multiple times even when I'd only pressed the button once. I'm not sure if mine is just faulty but the quality of what I got is a waste of your money, please look at other controllers.
