At the end of the day, the SNES controllers as they're included with the classic console are not practical. That leaves you with two options: buying controller extension cables or buying a wireless receiver like this one. I actually have both and both are good options. I like to use the wireless receiver because it lets me toggle back to the SNES menu without leaving the couch.
Edit: if. you're pairing 8bitDo's controllers you'll need to trial and error what mode will work when connecting this. It could *REALLY* use a manual, or a guide to connecting and sync with *their own products* at least. However once I got it working, it works well.
Ok : After using this for a few hours I have one gripe with it
One downside of this product is the sync button is SO SMALL. when you plug it into your SNES Classic it kind of wiggles around and feels loose. When you try to press this TINY sync button, I feel almost as if I am going to break the reciever or the port itself. I also fumbled around trying to update the firmware on my PC since the button was so small I was trying to hold onto it while inserting it into the USB port, it was quite painful to do. I think they should make this button slightly bigger. The Long design of the unit also makes it feel flimsy when plugged into the SNES Classic and feel not very sturdy.
If they ever revise this or even read our reviews, I think maybe they want to design it to be shorter so it doesnt feel like the port will break from us just pressing the sync button.
But I would assume most people just sync once and forget about it so they wont touch the receiver often. For me I had the issue since I was trying to use the controllers both for my PC and the SNES classic

First, I could not update the firmware on either of the two I bought with the app supplied on the 8bitdo site. It would not work. Now, according to the site, the latest firmware is v1.19. But the two I have are v1.16. Furthermore, their own repository for firmware only goes up to v1.16. I don't know if the app has new firmware or not though.
Now here's my main issue. There is a major issue registering buttons that severly effects N64/PS1 gameplay. The d-pad and joystick mirror each other. L1 and L2 mirror each other, as does R1 and R2. Even worse is an known preexisting issue in that the right joystick does not work with this receiver at all. So you immediately lose access to a good portion of your controller. With these errors, I can maybe play mario kart 64, but other N64 games are out of the question, not to mention PS1 games which actually use the L2/R2 for... you know, L2 and R2.
But as said, N64 games are completely out save a few titles that use little buttons. The right stick is usually the C buttons (acting similar to a gamecubes C stick) on a normal working receiver/controller. Retroarch actually has a genius way to fixing this no right stick issue with a C swap button. With that, you press the button and A,B,X,Y become the C buttons while C swap is being held down. But C swap is the R2 button. L2 is the Z trigger as well. You don't have L3 or R3 either so there is no way to map all N64 buttons without overlapping. It just isn't possible.
This issue is only an 8bitdo issue as well. I have a myarcade snes classic controller and the L2 and R2 buttons work fine. This (myarcade) controller is absolutely horrible with it's constant disconnecting, but with access to these two buttons, it's better than the 8bitdo receiver at half the price.
I tried to be as detailed as possible here. Ignore the good rating. This isn't a quality item. 0/5

tiene un detalle solo si te alejas mas alla de la distancia recomendada por el fabricante, donde se puede desincronizar el control, pero para mi es un problema minimo, por lo regular estoy a 3 metros de mi consola, y funciona perfecto.
Antes de usarlo, actualicé el firmware de ambos componentes. El emparejamiento fue rápido y sencillo, y el conjunto funciona a la perfección. Muy satisfecho.
Durch diesen Receiver kann ich dieses endlich mit den wireless SNES Controllern von der Couch aus nutzen.
In der Kombination kann man die Spiele wie damals genießen, ohne das man lästige Kabel rumliegen hat.
Das Beste, man kommt von der Couch aus ins Home Menü. Einfach am SNES Controller "Runter+Select" drücken und man ist im Home-Screen. Kein lästiger Umweg mehr über die Reset-Taste am Gerät.
Mein PS4-Controller lässt sich ebenfalls problemlos nutzen.
It is important to update the firmware straight away using the ultimate software or download the firmware updater onto a computer. For the computer to see it, it is necessary to press the pairing button when at the same time connect the adaptor. The software will show it is a retro receiver and the latest firmware will be installed. Once that is done it will work perfectly. It is also important to update any 8bitdo controller firmware's too.
Voici un excellent dongle bluetooth pour les NES Mini Classic et SNES Mini Classic.
Le contenu du packaging 📦 :
➡️ Le dongle pour la SNES Mini Classic
➡️ Un très petit câble USB-A vers micro-USB
➡️ Notice
Les ✅ du produit :
✔️ Super adaptateur : il permet de connecter en bluetooth différents types de manettes à la SNES Mini Classic.
✔️ Pas de latence constatée, ça répond au doigt et à l’œil.
✔️ Appairage simple : on appuie quelques secondes sur le bouton sur l'adaptateur, il se met en mode appairage. On fait de même sur la manette, l'appairage est rapide et est mémorisé.
✔️ 8bitdo met à jour régulièrement le firmware de ses produits. Je l'ai reçu en version 1.16, je l'ai mis à jour en version 1.19 sans souci.
✔️ COmpatible avec beaucoup de modèles de manettes bluetooth (PS4, XBox One, 8bitdo...)
✔️ S'utilise aussi avec la NES Mini CLassic, donc double utilité.
Les ⛔ du produit :
❌ Seule limite : on ne peut appairer qu'un manette à la fois. Pas dramatique car usage très spécifique.
💬 En conclusion : quel plaisir de jouer avec une manette bluetooth sur la petite SNES Mini Classic, sans latence. J'ai appairé une 8bitdo SN30 Pro et j'ai aussi testé une 8bitdo SF30 Pro, les manettes qui ressembles aux manettes d'origine de la SNES.
Bref, un vrai plaisir pour un grand confort d'usage. Je ne peux que recommander.
