8bitdo NES30 Pro - Anyone try it? - Shield Tablet Accessories

Looking for a remote really for my Shield K1, can't seem to find anything I really want. I am living hotel life for 3 months and want the remote mainly to control Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, but am open to setting up some emulators. I dont want the Shield controller but need something decent. My DS4 is so laggy and not really worth the time. I was hoping someone has used the NES30 or NES30 Pro controller. Please let me know if you have. Otherwise open to cheap remote alternatives Thanks.
Edit: My curiosity won. I paid $30 for it on GearBest, I'll report in if anyone wants to know how it works with the K1.

As a soon to be Nividia Shield K1 owner, I would love to know whether this controller works well with the K1. I'm not a big fan of the official controller by Nvidia being so bulky and a bit too much for my taste. This seems like the perfect size and I love the retro look behind it all. Please share how well this controller works and whether all function buttons have some sort of response (dislike it when you press a button on a controller and it just doesn't do anything). Thanks in advance!

Should be arriving next week. I'll post my findings.

---

Do you happen to have a Nexus Player? I wonder if it would work with that too.

---

I use the 8Bitdo Zero on my Shield Tablet, http://8bitdo.com/zero/ so there should be no reason that the NES80 one wouldn't work.

Just curious.
How well does the Emu-Touchschreen software work?
I am curious as I have the Shield TV. If it works I could drag the controls with a mouse. The demos look very responsive?
Is there a library of templates?
Does it drop out?
Thanks.

would love to see an update in this thread .. how is the gamepad working out for you ?

---

I got it late last week. Connected right up and is usable out of the box like a mouse or nexus player remote. I do have a Nexus player, but I wont be home to test it out for a month. I'll be doing some emulators and some games later this week and can report back on how button mapping works. Overall very happy with it so far. It's fast, no noticeable lag, and didn't require any special software to connect up. Worth the wait coming from overseas and definitely worth $30.
*Currently not rooted and on Stock Rom.

I have also pulled the trigger on this gamepad and I must say it is very enjoyable. I have used snes9x to play some classic SNES games and it works very well. I did have to customize some buttons but it was very easy to get it to work. The only problem I came across was the lack of being able Tod program certain Dpad controls such as down+left or up+right. I'm not sure if there's a way to do this. If anyone knows please share. But other than that it works nicely. I also played some actual game apps such as Leo's Fortune and it was pretty awesome and enjoyable. Adding to that I plugged in my tablet to my TV via mini HDMI and had a great time playing on my 42" TV. Definitely recommended!!!

The other problem with this controller is that ABXY button layout is not similar to every other after market ones. If you look closely the X Y and A B are reversed.

hey guys is this controller any good for fps games like modern combat, all the bluetooth controllers ive tried have horrible deadzones on the analogue sticks which make fps games rubbish, and how does the nivida game mapper work with it because its horrible with a ps3 controller

---

I've been using one with the K1 shield for the last couple of days, it has worked fine with Doom 3 and Halflife 2/portal.
As people have said before the layout of the buttons is weird but it doesn't take long to get used to, and the button mapper works fine for apps that don't support a controller( I'm still struggling with Brothers though). But after playing most of these games on my shield portable I'd say its definitely worth the money and not much different from my portable. I'm going to try halflife on my big screen tonight. I mainly bought the K1 to use with my phantom but with this control I'd say the portable will be for sale soon.

I'm in possession of new APK for android Emutouch mode. Tested on galaxy S8 and confirmed working unlike old v1.6.
PM for download

Preordered the newer version that works w/ the Switch with the 4 shoulder buttons. Cost way more though... lol Can't wait to use it on my devices especially my Switch.

It is like it should be. If you search for Nintendo button layout you will see that it is the same.

There is no new/old version. Support for the Switch is firmware related. You can update your 8bitdo controller to new firmware and get it to work with Switch - I can confirm that.
Sorry for double post. I do not used multi quote it was my mistake.

I'm referring to the SNES version and not the NES version.

Sorry, what I meant by other aftermarket are the ones like Moga, Steel Series, ipega, where the bottom where left button is X, top is Y, right is B, bottom is A.
So basically this is really only good for using on Nintendo emulators.

I wouldn't say it's only good for nintendo emulators. Strictly because I've used it for other things, and on my pc as well. If you can ignore what it's labeled, it's like any other controller. Swap them around if the emulator defaults it to the letter. 99% of the time we do the set up anyways for the controllers.

I use FC30 pro but it's impossible to play to modern combat
