I primarily need this to work on the Switch. I wasn’t aware that it also supported macOS, but it also proves that this is the controller that I was looking for which was lacking in the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.

The manual indicates that it supports the Switch, Android, Windows, macOS. The battery can be easily removed and you are also allowed to replace it with a AA alkaline battery. The 1000Mah battery is already inside the SN30 Pro+ controller once you open the box. The PS4 doesn’t have a removable battery, and from what I remember, the Xbox uses a standard AA alkaline battery. That’s a plus, having a removable battery can really make this controller easier to maintain. It’s using a 1000Mah battery that should last you for 20+ hours. I was also surprised that this was using a removable rechargeable battery. So, in terms of the look and feel, the SN30 Pro+ knocks it out of the park. It was hard to test this function since Switch games didn’t really make use of this.

The original Joy-con had no pressure sensitivity to it. It was interesting to see that the trigger buttons (L2/R2) had this similar analog control like the PS4 and Xbox, yes the SN30 Pro+ has pressure sensitivity. I suppose having bigger buttons than the original Joy-con really helped. Pressing the buttons really feels like it is has perfect feel. Feels just as good if not better than holding the PS4 controller. Holding it, it has a bit of weight to it. The box also included a USB-C to USB cable. But if you want to see the labels better, don’t get the black version. But then again, if you are familiar with the controller, it should not be much of an issue since I may not be looking at it all the time.

But I suppose I chose badly, since the black color made it a bit difficult to see the labels on the controller. I got the black version, because it stood out from the rest of the controllers that I was looking at when I was choosing at the store. But with the 8bitdo, it felt almost like opening an iPad. The PS4 (which I also just unboxed recently), just felt like it was there. I remember unboxing the Logitech Rumblepad 2, and based on it’s packaging, it just feels like it was opening something you bought at a hardware or school supply store. Opening the box alone feels like there’s a little bit of love and care, more-so than most official controllers that I’ve opened up.

While SN30 Pro+ looked like a PlayStation controller. The SN30 Pro looked like an SNES controller with enough buttons to accommodate modern games. I saw the SN30 Pro and the latest SN30 Pro +. I think they are well known for an alternative to the Switch controllers, but I also heard that it also works on the PC.
