Anyone use the 8BitDo N30 (the NES one)? The thread at Mario SUCKS... or does it??? - #116 by HOBO got me thinking.

The 2.4G came with my Nt Mini Noir. It had noticeable lag compared with wired controllers.

but I usually don’t use wireless controllers so maybe I’m the wrong person to ask.

Oh, I see. That thing doesn’t even work as a wired controller.

Anyone use one of these Retro-Bit Origin 8 controllers? I understand Retro-Bit’s reputation is iffy.

Retro-Bit is trash.

Isfet and I have both had controllers just straight up not work.

For NES to PC options

It’s a little awkward because you need to charge them like joycons, but people seem to have had success with Switch NES controllers

From personal experience I can say an NES Mini controller through an Elecom wii to USB adapter works well.

Nintendo make the best NES controllers.

Both options are a little pricey and involve using ebay.

I confused Retrobit with 8bitdo for years and avoided them like the plague when I could have had some decent modern pads

I just bought one of those in a moment of weakness about two weeks back. I haven’t had time to NES it up lately but I’ll try to put it through the paces soon.
