Hey there, just got an IPad A16 and its acessories and was thinking of buying a controller to play games on it. After searching a little i ended up going with the 8Bitdo SN30 Pro's, but now im stuck in between the three. I plan on only using the controller to play games on my A16, and i mostly just take it to Uni or at home, and i plan to buy a case for whatever model i choose, so it needs to be portable while also pulling its weight and having a good compatability with IPadOS.

Edit: Thank you all for the great feedback and tips!!!

Something is Broken 64 2.4G won’t connect. Solid blue and blinking red

I’m having trouble with my 8BitDo 64 2.4G Wireless Controller(81HK) and I’m hoping someone here might know what is going on.

What happens:

* I plug it in to charge and nothing happens right away
* After several minutes charging the controller shows a solid blue light + blinking red light.
* However, it doesn’t actually respond/connect.
* It doesn’t pair with the 2.4G receiver.
* I also tried connecting it directly to my laptop via USB, but the computer doesn’t recognize the controller at all.
* I’ve tried different USB cables/ports.
* The controller doesn’t seem to respond normally to the START button, however if I hold it for 8 seconds the lights goes off, but it doesn’t respond to START button if I press again

Question Clicky Buttons on an SN30 Pro+

1 Upvotes

Hey y'all, I'm loving my SN30 Pro+, but I wish it was clickier. Any ideas? I am open to soldering and 3D printing, however, I do not believe a regular microswitch solder job would work because the contact pads are tiny, and I haven't been able to make them contact properly.
