What a terrible company. They will ship you an item that comes in a box but it’s shipped in a bag. Of course it’s gonna get damaged in transport and their policy on that is that they are not responsible for it. They tell you to go kick rocks. Beware, if you buy from here they are not taking a damaged item back. Don’t let them fool you with their fancy talk, it’s not going to happen.

I ordered some "Joystick Rubber Replacement", but only got 1/3 of what I ordered. 2/3 was refunded. They just sent the rubber replacement they had without write and ask how I wanted to do.. After contacting the support they wrote that nothing was wrong... I payed about 6$ for the replacement rubber and about 10$ for shipping... Got about 22$ in refund. Who wants an order where the shipping is more expensive then the product? For 16$ you can get a used controller. What I got: "2pcs 8BitDo SN30 Pro, SN30 Pro+, Pro2 Joystick Rubber Replacement (Black)" 5.98$ + 9.98$ (shipping) ≈ 16$ Refunded: "4pcs 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Controller Joystick Rubber Replacement" 15.96$ "2pcs 8BitDo SN30 Pro, SN30 Pro+, Pro2 Joystick Rubber Replacement (Grey)" 5.98$

I have a controller and a dongle from 8bitdo. Cannot recommend any of those because controller has issues with buttons and yet it's hard to configurate it (needs Windows and connect with USB cable - in 2026, lol!). The dongle is so poor you have to pair the controller every time you want to connect it. That is nuts and unbelievable for the price.

I purchased four sets of the Classic Button Replacement Colours for the 8BitDo N64 controller. Two of the four sets from batch 87FF01 were defective: they contained a duplicate button in place of the required C-Down, making those sets completely unusable. Because the buttons are keyed directionally, the duplicate cannot be substituted. A quick search confirmed this is not an isolated error. Numerous other customers have reported the identical fault from the same batch, pointing to a systemic quality control failure rather than a one-off mistake. When I contacted support, the first response was a single truncated sentence acknowledging the item was out of stock, with no apology, no detail, and no proposed resolution. I followed up asking for confirmation of a reservation, an estimated restock date, and reassurance that the incoming batch had been quality-checked. The reply was three lines: wait until end of this month or next month. No commitment, no confirmation of quality checks, and no acknowledgement that many customers are affected. I had planned to purchase two additional N64 controllers from 8BitDo. That will not be happening. A company that ships a batch-wide defect and then responds with generic, minimal replies has demonstrated that customer satisfaction is not a priority. I will not be purchasing from 8BitDo again.

Mich wundert es nicht das die hier nur negative Bewertungen haben, der Artikel war schlecht und der Support ist genauso schlecht. Lasst bitte alle die Finger davon.

Order a controller off of Kickstarter, ended up moving while I was waiting for it. Then they shipped it with an email sent and tell me they can't reship it for some reason. Don't support there Kickstarter campaign.
