It sucks when your gamepad’s buttons stay stuck down half the time. Really messed up with timing. I already cleaned it, but it came back almost immediately. I wonder if I should change the membrane. It didn’t look like there was anything wrong with it.

Now the second controller is here and this time it’s the „used” one (first one was „exposition”). I’m laughing, because you couldn’t tell them apart, because both are in mint condition…😅

What a bargain, 2 nice gamepads for half the price!😍

Now it’s kinda tempting to dive in into #ChronoTrigger again… But that game is massive and I don’t know if I wan’t to sink in it again…😅 #8BitDo #SN30Pro #RetroPi

The first of the discounted #8BitDo #SN30Pro controllers is here. It’s been said to be an exposition unit, but I have no damn idea to what it has been exposed, because it looks freaking perfect…

It’s also in a nice retro color scheme (G Classic) and it is perfect for those little hands that will use it with #RetroPi.

Got it for half the price…🥰

My only grieviance is with the fucking Raspbian/RetroPi for the bluetooth setup…🤣

My #8BitDo #SN30Pro started drifting down on the left joystick about 2 weeks ago. I've had it for about 2 years, right before they came out with the ultimate software (which this model isn't compatible with) and at the time, I wasn't doing enough serious gaming to warrant a higher end device. In fact, I was compelled by the RPi compatibility. I'm going to do some maintenance (firmware refresh, check internals) and see if I can resolve it. The controller has put in a lot of good work and it serves most needs. It could be worth an upgrade, there's nothing special about 8BitDo joysticks compared to others, but I'm pretty sure I didn't choose to get the #hallEffect ones which are designed to reduce (though arguably not able to eliminate) drift. Any device with joysticks (like the PSP) that's "travel sized" still don't make me less afraid of damaging joysticks when traveling. I'd consider passing it on to a friend curious about controllers. It's a great starter, especially for indie gamers.

8BitDo SN30 Pro Bluetooth gamepad

The one controller to rule them all. With inspiration from the classics. Now upgraded with Hall Effect joysticks.

I love how repairable #8bitdo products are :)

My SN30Pro's thumb sticks had started to fray off and loose their rubber after four years and guess what? You can simply buy those as replacement for less than 10€ including shipping!

This year I'm not doing a daily drawing challenge because spoons, so instead I'm doing as many #blockbench sketches as I can. This is my first ever piece! Not too bad for a first, a few things to iron out. Working in low poly and rez is fun though - this a a quick attempt at my current favourite gamepad - the #SN30Pro
I want to mod my #8BitDo #sn30pro to have a d-pad that's as stable as my #Xbox controller. It's *almost* perfect, but you can depress the entire center of the d-pad and the diagonals can get a bit sussy because of it. But the Xbox controller is so big!
