"I'm embarrassed to say how many 8BitDo controllers I own, but it still will never be enough for me. I'm telling now to join in on the 8BitDo cult as there really is no better controller for indies and retro games than what they're manufacturing. And what do you know, this one that's a collab with GENKI just dropped 17%."
"Eagle-eyed viewers might notice the overall shape and layout of the controller looks a bit familiar. It is indeed designed after the Super Nintendo gamepad, but now with all the modern conveniences like multiple R and L buttons and dual, clickable analog sticks. And being based on the SNES controller, it has undoubtedly the best d-pad you can get. That makes it perfect for the new Hollow Knight: Silksong."
"First off, stop using the joystick. You're not going to get the precision to execute those diagonal pogos properly. Though, if you're using the Nintendo Pro Controller, forget it. That thing is notorious for misregistered inputs. You'll be dropping all your rosaries into the spikes using that. But this d-pad... This d-pad on the 8Bitdo's controllers just sings. Beyond the d-pad, the joysticks also are an improvement over Nintendo's. They utilize Hall Effect tech, which used magnets. This means drift is an impossibility."
The GENKI x 8BitDo PocketPro wireless gamepad is discounted to $50 from $60. The controller is modeled after the Super Nintendo gamepad while adding modern features such as multiple R and L buttons and dual clickable analog sticks. The SNES-based design includes a highly praised d-pad that provides superior precision for platforming and boss fights in Hollow Knight: Silksong. The joysticks use Hall Effect technology with magnets, eliminating drift and extending longevity compared with Switch Joy-Cons. Additional features include turbo mode, gyro controls, and haptic feedback. The Nintendo Pro Controller is criticized for misregistered inputs in comparison.
