    The gamepad is a keyboard because the iOS Bluetooth API only allows developers to use BT keyboards. So devs settled on a generic button mapping called iCade.

    You can change HOW the controller connects on bluetooth based on the buttons you press when you turn it on. On some of the 8bitdo controllers (my SNES30 for example), pressing right trigger while turning it on will boot it in "joystick" mode instead of "keyboard" which will make it much easier to use on PCs and other programs where remapping isn't supported. Be warned that you will have to re-pair it as the bluetooth address is physically different and you will have to boot it with the same right trigger mode every time.

    I just got one. Was surprised on how tiny it was, I saw it in pictures before and herem but damn, it is very tiny! I buy a lot of controllers all the time but this package threw me off, I thought it was a beefier letter that's all. But I was also surprised that considering its size, it is surprisingly comfortable to use, I can play with it for a long time, no problem and my hands ain't tiny. While definitely not my go-to controller, it is absolutely perfect for little kids, my two year old loves playing Mario with it and this is the only gamepad that she can hold.
