I want one. I have no idea why. I'd probably lose it before I'd even opened the package.

Finally! you can play games with your pet hamster.
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.

It's smaller than the Game Boy Micro.
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.
It needs a way to mount it to a cellphone, then I'm totally fucking sold.

+Josh G. (OtaconEmmerich) I think it would be difficult to try to hold on to it while it's attached to a phone. It's so much smaller and lighter, it would just want to torque out of your hand. I've been using this ipega game pad that's about the size of my phone, and I really like it. www.amazon.com/iPega-Bluetooth-Controller-Android-Wireless/dp/B00AGDW306

@@F1R3F0R6E So, Dark Souls without a shield, without rolling, without strong attacks, without weak attacks, without an ANALOG STICK. Are you saying you should beat DS with only 8 directions to move in, or with Tank controls? Either way, that would be quite fun to watch.
This is how a controller review is done! Thank you!
Hey rerez. I just wanted to say that u have a great channel and your doing a great job. I love it. Keep up the great work.
My hands cramp using a Gameboy Pocket, I doubt I could use this well. But damn, I do love their normal sized controllers. Good stuff.

Man, this controller seems pretty neat! Great review! I would have missed this thing.
Awesome just bought one for work thanks!
already ordering it ... can wait to try It !! i mean even its gonna use less if its doesnt suite to my thumb but it can be great keychain
I watched this video and picked this up. I love it. My hands don't cramp at all and it has really good response.
Hmm...this might be a good fix for my cellphone gaming needs. Thanks, Shane!
I love how half the comments are guys saying "I've got big hands"
got this about a week ago, works very well for its size. I have big hands and it gets tiring after some time, but its great for on the bus cell phone or tablet use. I also love the option to use it as a shutter button for the camera, works great. Connected it to various androids and no problems. Fits on a keychain also
I checked out their site, turns out you can attach it to your keychain. Your keychain!! That's awesome! Not too shabby for less than twenty bucks
About 8-10$US. Glad someone is advertising this. I'm waiting for mine as we speak.
Gonna get one of these to tear apart for a handheld pi zero w build. Should simplify it a bit. Might even tap into it to make it wired. Could also make it and the pi run off the same battery perhaps
I have that controller, while I do have some problems with it thanks to it size, I still love how small it is
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.
I bought it and it's really fun. I can now play all of the classics on my phone. It is small. I wish the D pad was a little bigger.
Awww, so cute! Maybe this is for babies that want to game. Can't start too early
I like your bowling shirt. lol
Very cool idea, but I feel like it would kill my hands after a short play session, like it did with you. Maybe they could build a controller that expands for use and collapses for carrying? That'd be a neat idea, if done correctly
Just ordered one today, hopefully it'll work with my Dell Venue Pro.
Great review! Who makes that NES-style cube Bluetooth speaker?

It'd be neat if they could stick a nan flash in it so it can hold your roms. Make it like a plug n play you load up yourself. It's probably make it a bit bigger too and easier to hold.
I just got this a week ago so that i could play emulators on my phone. I must say that i absolutely love it!
I see they're supported for RECALBOX, emulator suite on the Raspberry Pi. Perfect! Gonna get.
I wonder if he says Nintendo the same way he says 8bitdo

Gray Day That only happened with his Macbook.
hello , how come when I had a samsung note 2 ( Android 4.4.2 ) my 8bitdo zero worked great , but now I have a elephone P9000 ( Android 6.0 ) do not work more directional keys ?
The classic nes controller from 8bitdo is my favourite. It's cool for emulators.
how many connections can it remembers ? i heard that it can only hold 1 connection in it's memory which is bad as i go between my phone and computer many times and hate to do the pairing thing over and over
Can u use this with the snes classic adapter or is it only for phones and computers
Eu tenho um controle pequeno desse mas eu tenho uma dúvida. Quando eu estou carregando, quando a bateria está fraca a luz fica vermelha mas enquanto ele carrega a luz fica piscando. Quando eu sei que a bateria carregou completamente?
Looks cool, but yeah I can see how ergonomics are a concern...
OH MY GOD THANK YOU ! I can finally play those SNES games on John's SNES emulator !
how did you get it to work with sonic 2 on mobile? I've gotten it to work with a few other games but i play sonic with it for some reason
I think 8bitDo should create connectors to the wii remote so that you can connect with the USB cord to the controller or as a alternative, connect them wirelessly to the controller as a Bluetooth connection to act as a classic controller for virtual console games or indie games.
Definitely buying this for my little sister. I already have emulators and they're less than a tenner.
do review of the ipega expanding controller its very good controller to set it up hold the home button and x then select in the options
can you maybe do a tutorial for mapping buttons if you didn't do that already, and if you did, can I have a link to that video?
Just picked one up, working pretty great for battle network, though ya it can get annoying to connect, at least with android
Yowza, that's a pretty dang small controller. Shame my hands are not built for such things, otherwise I'd have snapped this up.
I've seen that Vault Tech cup, don't think I don't
That's pretty neat
I think it ok to take it with you to work (To play in you Break Time) or long travel
How do you connect a Bluetooth controller to Sonic 1,2, and CD? Please be specific. Describe the menu, selections, etc.
Looks really neat, but I doubt that works well in any situation... Great episode, though.
Sadly I still prefer my Famicon gold 8-bitdo for the small but important reason of analogue sticks in the bottom. The mini gamepad here looks like those spots are taken by a start and select pair of buttons; but for my phone games for systems like ps1 or even scumm use those sticks/nubs very well.
AYYYYYY shatter! Good game from a great New Zealand game company
The phone said 1:56 and my time is 1:56.

If you plan on buying this for your android phone, ignore the "confusing to connect to phone" part. You only need to hold the start button to turn it on as "gamepad" which the android uses.
And people think the Joycons are too small
Finally, a controller for my small hands.

Not even a cell could hold this thing without cramps
Slender fingers for the win! it looks small, but I think I could use it... And it's size is a huge (pun intended) advantage.

does it work with the mobile game marvel future fight?
I got one but I don’t know how to use it as a controller on my iPhone 6. Can somebody help me?

The speaker literally says the name. How’d you still mispronounce it? lol. Love the content though man; always looking forward to more.

i think most are missing what this controller is for. it is not for when you are at home playing games it is for when you are out. waiting at the doctor, on a fight or bus ride, etc. something that fits easily in your picket and can use to play emulators on your phone.

I want this only if they add analog sticks and trigger buttons.
