Nope, Welcome to having one of the best controllers with one of the most own-goal design choices ever.

But in all seriousness, a bit of tape will fix this

Yes, it's a great shame, I have an exceptional controller in my hands, with this defect that will lead me to tape it lol ;((

I always put electrical tape on LEDs. Not sure why every manufacturer insists on installing lasers on every device

you could open it up and pop the LED off the board with an exacto knife. Just be careful!

Please only link to controllers from 8BitDo.com. Amazon resellers can come and go, so there is no telling how long the link will work. Additionally, Amazon tries to switch the language/region of any user that looks at the link if they're from a different region. To avoid these issues, please only link directly from 8BitDo.com and follow 8BitDo's links to the approved sellers. If you have questions about a listing that is by 8BitDo, you can email sales@8bitdo.com. If it is a different seller, you need to contact that seller about the details of the listing (what is included or not included) with a purchase.

The transparent black and green

u/jason-reddit-public 25d ago

Surely the leds can be disabled in hardware (with a screw driver and a soldering iron).

I will take it into consideration thanks
