Controller Issues Anonymous 08/29/2020 (Sat) 10:46:35 No.3047
I have recently bought an 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ controller after it had been shilled to hell and back and it was pretty comfortable to play with, but I'm getting some issues with diagonal inputs with the analog sticks. More specifically, according to Windows 7 patented controller settings screen, I can't seem to get the cross in any of the four corners, no matter how hard I try or what settings I change using 8BitDo's software. Updated firmware doesn't seem to make a difference. More specifically, I'm having trouble when playing with emulated games that use wide and angled movements, think Crash Team Racing. I can play it no problem but it won't turn all the way left or right in tight corners for some reasons. Is there a way to achieve that sweet corner movement, or is my controller just defective? It's such a joke that a Linq cheap PS3 controller can do what a 40 dollarydoos controller can't.

I have two sn30s and never had any software/firmware issues but the build quality seems wildly inconsistent. I'm not a big gamer in fact I've never worn a controller out before even as a teen playing hundreds of hours of ff7, thps3 etc on psx with a dual shock controller and the first sn30s I have had at least 100 hours on it and it's in great condition... The second one has less than 100 hours and the right joystick rubber rim has already torn off and one of the buttons is stiff and does not press/depress freely depending which angle or pressure you press it with. The sn30+appears to be identical to sn30 with a dual shock bezel so I would be very wary. Any future product I buy from them will come with a warranty either from 8bd if offered or a 3rd party, again, if possible. This might be a controller mechanics issue masquerading as a firmware issue now that I think about it
