SAFFUN 2 Pack 2.4 GHz Wireless USB Controller… vs 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro Bluetooth Controller for… — Head-to-Head (2026)

Our verdict

8Bitdo Sn30 Pro Bluetooth Controller for… is our pick.

For most retro and emulation buyers in 2026, the 8Bitdo SN30 Pro is the better controller. It has analog sticks, rumble, motion controls, Bluetooth and USB-C, and it officially supports Switch, Steam Deck, Apple devices and Raspberry Pi. The SAFFUN 2-pack only wins if you strictly want two SNES-style pads for 16-bit couch co-op, because it gets you two controllers for less than a single 8Bitdo.

Buy the SAFFUN 2 Pack 2.4 GHz Wireless USB Controller if you are setting up a Raspberry Pi RetroPie or Windows/Linux emulation box for two players who will only play NES, SNES and Genesis-era games, and you want both pads on a small budget. Buy the 8Bitdo SN30 Pro if you want one controller that also handles PS1/N64-era games that need analog sticks, and that works on Switch, Steam Deck, Android and Apple devices.
