8Bitdo Lite 2 BT Gamepad Pink (Switch, Android, Raspberry Pi)

I’ve got really small hands and I’ve always struggled to use normal size controllers as my thumbs won’t reach the joysticks without me having to bend my wrists really awkwardly.I usually play on my Switch Lite which I could use no issue but when I wanted to get a controller for my macbook I needed one that was as compact in layout as the Switch Lite.I saw this and took a chance on it as the information didn’t mention being Apple compatible, however a few comments mentioned it working with their MacBook and I can confirm it works perfectly with Macs. If you’re looking for a great little portable controller for smaller hands, this is exactly what you need.

I bought this to connect my iPad to the tv and game, I can confirm this works well on iOS when set to D mode. No noticiable latency, the joysticks are robust and responsive and the buttons have the right amount of click. Only small bit is the L2 and R2 shoulder buttons are a little close to L1 and R1 but it’s acceptable for it’s smaller size and usable.

My kids hands aren't big enough for an Xbox controller and they love these. Positives: small and compact, works on both Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck, can charger from USB-C. It might be a bit small for adult hands but as long as you are not pro-gaming with them they'll suffice for party games. We've had a couple for about a year now and they are still in great condition (no kids gloves in our house!)

Don't get me wrong. It's very useable, but, for long playing sessions, if you have man sized hands you will end up with cramped fingers.I found it worked best with a PC by leaving it in Nintendo Switch mode.It's very well built and works perfectly. The analogue sticks are great with good range.

Thanks!

Got it as a gift to upgrade from a non analogue sticked controller by the same brand. Works perfectly with no issues.

The form factor is excellent, and the quality aligns with 8bitdo's expectations.It is advertised to work on Switch, Android, and Raspberry PI—which basically means everything that has Bluetooth. However, there are some important caveats:Unlike another 8bitdo gamepad that I own, this one does not allow you to switch the A/B and Y/B buttons.So, you only get the correct expected layout with the Switch.Like the other platforms, you have to learn a different layout of buttons when using this, which is also impractical with games like Dead Cells.You can get along quickly with the Steam Deck, which has included software configuration for dealing with this.For the rest, you can play with redirecting interrupts in Linux/Raspberry PI, and I am sure that Windows, MacOS, and Android have some app tools or apps to do the same.But by getting to that point, you are defeating the purpose of the small form factor and portability or connecting and starting to play, which forces me to return it.I thought it was important to know if you are considering buying this for any platform other than the Switch.

（※英国Amazonの方で購入しました / English text follows after Japanese version.）Switch向けのジャイロ機能の付いた小型のコントローラーがないかと探す中で、このコントローラーを見つけました。標準より手が小さめなのですが、このコントローラーは自分の手にサイズがあったようで、Joyconでは手が痛くなっていたSplatoon2や3でも快適に使えています。I found this controller while finding compact controller with motion sensors for Switch. This controller excellently match to my hands which are a bit smaller than standard size. I can enjoy playing Splatoon2 and 3 without any pain on my hands. (In contrast, when I played Joy-cons, I often felt pain on may hands while long-time playing.)
