Topic: Warning: Do not buy anything from 8Bitdo, they have zero quality control and sell defective products

I'm currently having the same issue with my 8Bitdo Fightstick as well. I own several other 8Bitdo controllers and was actively waiting for the price to fall to pick one up for my Switch. I tried to hook the Fightstick up to my PC and the PC would not recognized the device. I moved over to my MAC, same problem. Tried on my laptop as well, so clearly there was an issue. I notified Amazon and they sent me a new one, same issue. I'm not quite sure what is going on because I can't find any information online. This was the first search result I could find off of Google that pointed out the same issue that I was having. I'm going to try to contact 8Bitdo directly this week but I'm definitely frustrated. Were you ever able to figure out the issue?

Just bumping this thread to mention that I had an N30 Pro 2 drift on me after only a year of purchase. I shipped it to 8bitdo's factory in China and they fixed nothing and just shipped it back. When I told them the analog stick was still drifting, they offered to ship me a new controller for free so I requested an SN30 Pro. I enjoyed the SN30 Pro for about 8 months before the battery starting crapping out on me. Now each time I charge it, it only lasts 1 day before it dies.

So I just gave up and ordered a controller from another company all together. I'm convinced 8bitdo pays people to write positive stuff about they products because nothing from them lasts more than a year before malfunctioning and I'm not surprised by OP's testimony at all.

That's not new Amazon has been reported to be have Trolls/Bots do this as well. So go to those sites and if so challenge those many positive reviews to see how alive that poster is.

I’ve never had any problems with any of the 8bitdo controllers I’ve purchased over the years.

And I haven’t received any payments to say that. I should complain!

I have a SF30 pro, works great for the Switch and my computer. Sorry for any issues you had, but I haven't had any yet.

I have a pair of their wireless controllers for the Mega Drive which are the best I ever had for that console.

Not sure if this is the correct thread to post to; But, I have an m30 and an N30 pro. I used to use them for switch but my buddy gifted me a raspberry pi with retropie built I that has some nes and snes games. I cant figure out a way to connect the controllers to it and I've watched countless videos. I get to the pairing menu, use the pairing function on the controller, the raspberry pi finds the controller, but for some reason, it never pairs. Any idea why this would happen?
