8Bitdo Zero 2 Bluetooth Gamepad Keychain Sized Mini Controller for Switch, Windows, Android, macOS & Raspberry Pi(Turquoise Edition)

Excellent. Goods arrived fast.

I was recommended this by a friend as a controller for culling photos in Adobe Lightroom Classic. He was right! By using an app from the Mac App Store called Joystick Mapper, I have set up profiles for both Lightroom and PhotoMechanic. The controller is simple to pair with a Mac via Bluetooth and one done it will automatically re-connect whenever you switch it on. Joystick Mapper (app) is a bit fiddly at first, but pretty good once you get the hang of it. One thing I have noticed is that if you want to use it with more than one computer you need to forget the device and re-pair it whenever you switch to other computers. I’ll probably buy a second one of these so I have one for my iMac and one in my bag for my MacBook Pro. I’ve labelled mine for now (Lightroom on the top, PhotoMechanic on the bottom) as my memory is bad. No more awkward hand crab over my keyboard when culling pictures! A great little time-saving device!

Didn’t buy this as a game controller primarily. I bought it mostly to use as a hot key remote for drawing and painting on my apple ipad (as there is no viable, cheap option available). Works like a charm once set up. The pros: - It’s responsive and seems to hold the charge well. - It’s size makes it ideal for use on the go. - It has a wide compatibility. The Cons -Either for gaming or use as a hot key remote, it’s not the most ergonomic I’d say. This is due to its size, which is also what’s handy about it. Worth thinking about if you have big hands like myself. -set up can be a bit fiddly. It requires a different start-up for pairing depending on the device, so keep that manual handy or prepare to look online for instructions. -as a hot key remote, you cannot remap the buttons to represent different keys. This feature would’ve been really handy, but to be fair if you have this as a remote for digital art, odds are you won’t be using the keyboard much for drawing/painting, and it is really made more for games than a dodgy hot key remote. Overall, a really handy bit of kit. Good little controller and one of the best options for a hot key remote for an apple device.

Bought this to use with a Mega Drive emulator on an android tablet. Very easy to set up and works like a charm. It is small and can cause a bit of discomfort when playing for a while. However, controller seems well made and the buttons are responsive. Will definitely get another for two player games. Added bonus that it works with my switch too.

Love it for anki. Has a very long battery life and buttons respond quickly

Never received a charging cable or a set of instructions. Item came in a dirty bag and was scratched as if it had been used.

Great product..small yet mighty... Great for phones, tablets and even as an extra controller for the nintendo switch...

Seems made well enough, but the controls don't feel as nice as their larger controller cousins. The top two (L1 &R1) buttons are especially clicky and feel like cheap switches, the rest are just OK. I don't have massive hands, but it's actually a fair bit smaller than I thought it would be, too small for adult hands I think - much smaller than the switch controllers attached to the system.

Terrible! Always get discounted when I’m playing games on Nintendo switch. Also it is missing SL and SR buttons, but instead it has L and R. For multiplayer in switch only SL and SR is useful. There’s not motion control

Works perfectly fine. If you got an Ipad and anki this is the best anki remote in India. Photo attached (pen for scale)

Non c'è da dire nulla.. veramente ottimo come tutti i controlli 8Bitdo.. ottima la funzionalità per avviarlo in differenti modalità e fare il pairing con android, windows, apple... piccolo è piccolo e sicuramente non adatto a lunghe sessioni di gioco, ma più che altro ottimo per brevi momenti di svago/retrogame quando non si è a casa. Feedback dei tasti ottimo, sensazione di solidità, batteria ricaricabile integrata. Avrei preferito altri colori, ma va bene così.

Voor gamen misschien wat klein, maar ik heb hem gekocht als pageturner voor mijn pocketbook ereader. Werkt super, was even een dingetje de knoppen te koppelen, maar leuk dat je zelf de functies kan bepalen. Erg blij mee!

Das 8Bitdo Zero 2 Bluetooth Gamepad ist ein kompaktes, leichtes und vielseitiges Gamepad, das nicht nur für Gaming, sondern auch für produktive Anwendungen wie Anki eine hervorragende Wahl ist. Ich nutze das Gerät regelmäßig für meine Karteikarten-Lernsessions, und es hat meine Effizienz und den Komfort erheblich gesteigert. Design und Verarbeitung Das Zero 2 beeindruckt durch sein minimalistisches Design. Mit einer Größe, die in die Handfläche passt, ist es extrem portabel und ideal für den Einsatz unterwegs. Trotz seiner winzigen Abmessungen fühlt sich das Gerät robust an, und die Tasten haben einen angenehmen Druckpunkt. Die Farbgebung und das Retro-Design machen es zusätzlich zu einem Hingucker. Verbindung und Kompatibilität Die Bluetooth-Verbindung funktioniert reibungslos, sowohl mit dem Nintendo Switch als auch mit anderen Geräten wie PCs oder Smartphones. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Kompatibilität mit verschiedenen Betriebssystemen wie Windows, macOS und Android. Für Anki auf meinem Laptop und Smartphone war das Einrichten ein Kinderspiel: Einmal gekoppelt, verbindet sich das Gamepad in Sekundenschnelle. Funktionalität mit Anki Was dieses Gamepad für Anki so ideal macht, ist die Möglichkeit, Hotkeys bequem zu bedienen. Die kompakten Tasten eignen sich perfekt, um schnell zwischen Karteikarten zu wechseln oder das Deck zu navigieren. Vor allem bei längeren Sitzungen entlastet es die Hände, da man nicht ständig die Tastatur benutzen muss. Ich habe die wichtigsten Funktionen auf die Tasten des Zero 2 gelegt und genieße dadurch ein viel flüssigeres Lernen. Akkulaufzeit Der eingebaute Akku hält überraschend lange – ich nutze das Zero 2 mehrere Tage ohne aufzuladen. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist, dass das Gamepad über USB-C geladen wird, was bei modernen Geräten mittlerweile Standard ist. Fazit Das 8Bitdo Zero 2 ist eine fantastische Ergänzung für alle, die ein vielseitiges und tragbares Gamepad suchen. Für Anki-Anwender bietet es eine intuitive Möglichkeit, das Lernen zu optimieren und komfortabler zu gestalten. Ob unterwegs oder zu Hause, es ist ein kleiner Helfer, der einen großen Unterschied macht.
