Exactly what I wanted!
I have a lot of games for my Nintendo Switch. I’m predominantly a joy-con user, but I needed an alternative because my joy-cons wear out over and over again and I’m sick of needing to replace them multiple times per year. My Switch gets a lot of use. About half of my games use very simple controls, and do not have rumble, but require reliable inputs. This controller fits the bill! I have small hands, so a normal pro controller is uncomfortable. This fits in my hands wonderfully. I love it. It’s very reliable for inputs, it’s very comfortable for my hands, and it’s pink!! According to my Nintendo Year in Review, most of my time is spent on retro gaming anyway, and this is perfect for NES, SNES, and Sega games on NSO. Here are the main games I use this with: Overcooked Sonic Mania Plus NSMBUD Super Mario Maker 2 Sonic Origins NES SNES Sega Genesis Plus a lot of ported, third-party games for cozy days. I like this controller!

Solid controller... and tiny.
Great controller, extremely tiny. Battery life is great, I haven't counted but I get a few hours of use between charges so even when I use it a lot I'm only charging it every few days. It's well made and responsive, buttons and D pad are a little "clicky," very good for a controller this size. I've had no problem with Bluetooth pairing to Windows or Linux PCs, a few Android phones, an iPhone 11, a Kindle Fire tablet and to a FireTV. Most of them recognize it immediately and buttons work as expected without any programming or third party software needed. But be assured that it is TINY. My five year old son says it's too small and prefers to use a larger controller, but I'm a full grown man with large hands and I have no problems using it, other than feeling a little cramped after long gaming sessions. Has opened up a whole world of emulated retro gaming in my pocket for whatever device I brought.

Does the job nicely.
I sometimes play games on my phone, mostly at work during lunch and breaks. But, I don't like on screen controls, so I wanted a dedicated controller for the phone. This little guy is perfect for that. I was using my switch joy cons on my phone, but I didn't like bringing my switch to work everydif. This is very small to throw in a bag, or even better, on a keychain. (You have to use a REALLY thin key ring, but it can be done. ) It's actually more comfortable to use than I thought it would be. I have large-ish hands for a woman (or at least longer fingers) and I really didn't have a problem with fat fingers or fatigue holding it. Granted, this is for short, time wasting gameplay. I haven't, and probably won't, use it for super long sessions. It's not a replacement for a pro controller or anything. In fact, some games will be unplayable due to only having one set of L and R buttons. Games that require a z set will be unplayable on this. But that's ok. Battery life seems good. I haven't played it until the battery dies. I have charged it at the end of each day (takes less than 20 minutes.) Usually, I get about 1 1/2-2 hours a day between my breaks and lunches and before work to play and it hasn't died on me yet, so it serves my purpose. Even though I really plan on only using it with my phone for quick on the go gaming, I did also pair it to my Switch, and tablet. Works just fine there. However, I ran into trouble with my laptop. It would not pair. My laptop recognized it, but kept saying there was no response. Not really a problem for me, but it does say it's compatible with windows. Might just be a problem on my end, but it is something to be aware of. So yeah, definitely gets the job done if you don't want to bring around a full sized controller everywhere. Would be wonderful for travel or as a backup while your regular controller is charging. Or for kids.

Awesome little controller
This little thing is awesome. I wanted to have my 2 year old play old school mickey mouse and boy its a perfect fit for her little hands. I think this would be a great starter controller for any gamer to be.

Amazing for Anki
Use this everyday, phenomenal for Anki cards. Will say it disconnects from time to time, and then I have to completely forget the device and repair which is annoying. I would buy this 100x times again if it were one day lost.

Works well then stops 6 months later (Happened 2x w/ new switches consecutively!) Do not recommend.
It works well in the beginning. You can set it up and works fine with my Mac but I have noticed that 6 months into using this, it just stops functionally working. It charges fine and lets me know when the battery is full and it will connect to my bluetooth on my Mac but no buttons actually work. I use this for Anki since it makes it more fun and "game-like". This is the 2nd switch I bought from Amazon (same color too) and it has happened both times 6 months after purchasing. The quality is bad for the price I pay if it doesn't even last 1 year and it has become a pattern that after 6 months they stop working. I went on their 8BitDo website and talked to customer service for the first switch and told me they can try to fix it if I send it to them in China and pay for shipping. The time to fix is ~ 1-2+ months & it costs WAY more to ship to China than it is to buy a new one (which is why I bought a new one the 2nd time). No longer buying a replacement and I do not recommend this product at all.

This thing is weird! It would be connected to my computer and working fine at times and then it would suddenly stop working and when i try to reconnect it, my computer asks for a code to pair. I hate this thing!
