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

It is almost tiny, but not so small that it isn't easy to hold on to.The front buttons seem a little stiff. But I think with a little getting used to them, and somenatural loosening from regular use, that should make it a total non issue soon.I bought this 1, little gizmo. because when I play my Zen Pinball, sometimes a tap on my pad's screen fails to activate the right hand flipper, for some odd reason. But this lil' controller solved tat issue completely.It does take some getting used to, but, I am having a lot of fun getting used to it.Also, the instructions were clear, and they were super easy to understand, So I successfully paired and then connected it to my Lenovo pad on the way first try.And for Pinball, where essentially your are only activating the 2 front flipper buttons, I don't see how anyone could go wrong, especially for the money.

This is a great controller to stick into a pocket or a backpack. I’ve used it in a variety of settings. It’s best for retro games, since it lacks some of the amenities of modern pro controllers.

I bought this looking for a remote to go with my Anki cards. This definitely works for that and is perfect size to carry around in my backpack! Setup is a little confusing when using it for my purpose, but there are plenty of YouTube videos to help!

This connects to my ipad and computer! It's so great for anki!

If you've ever tried to connect a switch joycon to a PC and dealt with the massive headache that that process is(disconnections and re-pairing every single time, weird driver issues and incompatibilities, etc) this little thing is a life saver. Connects smoothly and easily to a pc via bluetooth either as a keyboard device or a game controller and *stays paired* when the computer is restarted. I use this device(with the joytokey program) as a remote to replace the quick buttons on the side of my drawing display when I'm using photoshop and clip studio paint. I had been using a single switch joycon with a clip in charging adapter and the aforementioned software headaches were driving me bananas when my husband suggested one of these.As seen in my pictures it's smaller by a decent amount than the joycon even without the added adapter and the difference in shape prompted me to pull out some sugru to make grippy bits to help keep hold of it(and wiggly eyes bc who doesn't like those?) but once I got used to it its a pretty decent replacement. If I had one wish, it'd be for trigger buttons on the back or even just normal buttons back there to replace losing those two extra keys. Having as many key combinations as I can makes a huge difference in convenience and speed when navigating clip studio while drawing. If I magically got another wish it'd be for some kind of grippy case to hold it vertically like I do.*staring wistfully at all you 3d-printing geniuses out there*On the software side of things as I mentioned getting it connected is incredibly easy. There's even instructions printed on the back of the device itself to show which keys to press to connect in the different modes. I use it in controller mode with joytokey as I couldn't find a way to remap the keyboard mode keys to things that are more useful for me. It stays paired to my computer even after many restarts and turning bluetooth on and off for any reason. This is something the joycon struggled with so much I nearly launched it across the room several times in frustration.Overall I'm really really pleased with this little thing and highly recommend it. Especially for the price! Despite my mini wishlist of upgrades I went ahead and got a second one to have as backup for when I inevitably try unsuccessfully to take it apart again to modify. Did I mention they're built very solidly? No matter what I tried I couldn't get it to come apart with anything short of smashing it open or cutting into the plastic. Its impressive. Oh! And it comes with the cutest teeny tiny little micro usb charging cable I've ever seen. So so nice to not have another long cable to coil and tuck somewhere on my desk. Anyway I love this thing and I'm done typing walls of text about it. Hope it helps you decide. :)

I recently purchased the 8BitDo Zero 2 controller for my daughter and I for a few reasons. First, we saw a YouTube video that showed it in use and we thought it would be a fun controller to have. Secondly, my daughter and I collect miniature toys and games, so when we saw this, we knew we had to have it.My daughter thought she would be able to use it on games like Fortnite, which happens to be one of two games she ever plays. She realized that it was impossible to do, so she is looking at our game library on our Switch to find out what can be played with the controller that she would enjoy.I knew the limitations going in. I wanted it for the novelty factor, and I knew what games I wanted to use it for. After a few days, I decided to try the controller on other platforms. I tried it on my Android phone and my laptop as both a controller and the optional keyboard function.I could not find something on my phone to use the controller with it, and on my PC, I downloaded a few SNK games to play using the controller. It wasn't easy to use, and I eventually decided just to use it on the Switch.This is NOT the reason I am rating it ONE STAR.When I went back to using it on the Switch, the X, Y, A, and B buttons had become flipped. Before you ask, I did not remap my controller. It did this on it's own, and would not right itself. Until I had a chance to email 8BitDo support, I remapped the controller and went ahead and played one of the games that I have had fun using the Zero 2 controller with.Today, I reached out to 8BitDo's support team to ask how to fix my problem. This was their response:"Hello.Thanks for the e-mail. I'm here to assist you.The new version of Switch system has the function of custom button layout.Sincere regards."There is no fix for my controller, and on top of it, their support team gave me an answer for a workaround of a defective unit instead of helping me to fix it.I liked 8BitDo's controllers in the past, and I liked the inventiveness of their controllers. In fact, before today, I was going to purchase a few of their other controller models in the near future.No longer will I buy an 8BitDo controller. I know this is what you get when you only spend $20 on a device, but you expect a level of support if there is a defective unit that only worked properly for TWO WHOLE DAYS.I am considering demanding a refund and using the money for something else, or hold onto the money for something better. But, I will definitely be returning it.I expected better from 8BitDo. I was wrong.
