  Problem after 2 weeks of use

  After only two weeks of use, the right stick is stuck, which is really inconvenient. I am disappointed with my purchase. Is it possible to exchange it?

  perfect!

  I used to use controllers originally designed by Microsoft with a big X in the name (over 20 years ago)... It was robust and not unpleasant, then fate and time got the better of it... so I took one back... which started to bug quickly... then 2... then 3... I tried something else before trying a 4th time, same thing!
  Realising that this X was no longer doing what it did best for this peripheral, I decided to look elsewhere! I ended up finding this little marvel: comfortable, efficient, precise, which doesn't get damaged and doesn't bug out at the first annoyance of a gamer! Despite long gaming sessions and journeys in a backpack that weren't necessarily very comfortable, it's still there and I'm fully satisfied, and I hope I will be for a long time to come! I still don't have the same perspective as I did with my controller more than 20 years ago... but I think my 8BitDo will last a long time, and I love the idea!

  Superb!

  Superb and effective, a controller that feels really good in the hand for a much cheaper price than the others.

  works perfectly under linux

  I bought this controller directly from the shop in Villeneuve d'Ascq, to do a bit of retrogaming on my laptop running Linux Mint, and rediscover the joys of old Sega games, Street Fighter, Sonic, Roadrash and so on. I plugged it in, and instantly it was recognised and played its role.The only small criticism I could make is that as soon as you open retroarch, it sends out regular little vibrations, as long as you don't open a heart and choose the game you want to play. Otherwise, I'm totally satisfied.

  Excellent

  Pleasant to hold. Good quality construction.
  
  Works without any noticeable problems under Linux. The operating system detects that the controller is connecting and disconnecting at regular intervals (~ 15 seconds) as long as there is no application that needs a controller. But this problem does not occur when Steam is launched or in a game.
  
  The only downside is that the cable isn't detachable. But I don't think it's a big problem if you're careful when using and storing the controller.

  Fine

  The controller is good quality, but I'm having trouble configuring the rear P1 and P2 buttons....
  The downloadable applications with the Qrcode are good
