8BitDo Micro

8BitDo Micro

I've had this controller for about a month now & it's been great. It works prefectly with my GBA emulator on my phone. There was a little input delay when I first got it but upgrading the firmware fixed that. It's perfect for playing classic GBA/PS1 games on my phone at work when it's slow; easily concealed in the palm of my hand. <.< the buttons are a little stiff, but I feel it's because the controller is pretty sturdy. I recommended it to my coworker & I plan to get a second one soon. Definitely worth it!

With the rise of iOS emulators, this controller has quickly become one of my favorite everyday items. It is so easy to travel and play with, if you are on a bus, in the back seat or even stuck on a layover, this is the perfect addition to a pocket set up. This is my first 8BitDo and certainly not my last, 6/5 stars

Despite looking similar, the micro is a decent upgrade to the zero/zero 2s 6 buttons and a dpad, which one would think would be enough to play a decent range of games. One would be wrong.
The micros two extra shoulder and function buttons drastically increase the range of games that can be played. This combined with the more solid construction makes it a really neat tiny controller.
My only gripe is that like the zero 2 there's no button locking mechanism for something you ideally want to carry in your pocket or in the sides of a backpack, in which case it will be endlessly turning on.
A version with a small lite 2 style joystick or two might be nice too.

I got this to program keyboard shortcuts for use with art programs. It was easy to download the app and assign keys (and also change the programming as needed). Arrived faster in the mail than I expected, also.
