Product details

The original 8Bitdo N30 Pro Bluetooth Gamepad in NES design with analog sticks. Thanks to Bluetooth and USB, it is compatible with almost all devices, including the Nintendo Switch. A must-have for any retro fan: The 8Bitdo N30 Pro Gamepad combines the classic design of the NES controller with modern controls, allowing for comfortable play of newer games that require an analog stick. The controller features two analog thumb sticks, a D-Pad (direction buttons), four action buttons (X, Y, A, B), two shoulder buttons (L and R), as well as Select and Start. The pad connects either via Bluetooth (for Nintendo Switch, Android, PC, etc.) or directly via USB for devices without Bluetooth. The integrated battery is charged via USB. The battery lasts for up to 18 hours of gameplay and can be fully charged in 1-2 hours. A suitable USB cable is included in the package. The controller has a power-saving mode, automatically turning off when no buttons are pressed for a while.
