Manufacturer description

The 8Bitdo SN30 Bluetooth Gamepad (SN Edition) is a retro-styled controller for modern devices. It connects over Bluetooth, so you can pair it with a Nintendo Switch, a Windows PC, a Mac, an Android phone or tablet, or a Raspberry Pi retro-gaming build without running a cable across the room. 8Bitdo built this gamepad to closely match the details of classic controllers. The SN Edition takes its colors from the original Game Boy Pocket, so it will look familiar on your desk or next to your TV if you grew up with Nintendo handhelds. The built-in rechargeable battery means you won't swap AA…
