I wasn't willing to drop £60 for the Pro Controller so picked this up off Ebay (wired version) for £14. Pretty happy with it, highly recommended as a cheaper alternative.

Really good. The thumbsticks are also quite high up from the pad which makes it great for SFIIHD. Rumble works excellent, solidly built.

Another small thing as well, it's light. I hate the weight on the Xbox and Steam pad.

For £14 it's pretty much a steal. Not even sure why you'd want to drop £60 on the Pro Controller with this thing around tbh.

Can you test the d-pad to see if it misfires?

So far, I've tried the official pro controller and the 8Bitdo SN30 Pro, and they both have the same issue (d-pad registers presses in the wrong direction when used quickly).

Does it have all the things the Pro does? Like the gyro? It's so weird that it costs so little if it has everything.

Na, no Gyro, but it has all the other buttons (screenshot, home, sync etc..)

I noticed a problem with a BOTW puzzle that was bsaically Marble Madness where you had to use the gyro, but beyond that np, saved 5X the $$$.

ed - Apparently it does have an gyro ^-^

It's sad that this is so hard to find these days.
