I have a Retroid Pocket 3+ and am looking for a controller to use while it’s plugged into the TV. I have been using an old Japanese DualShock 4, but the functions of the AY and BX buttons are swapped and there’s some intolerable input lag happening.

I hear the 8bitdo SN30 Pro is really good, but the Pro 2’s PlayStation-esque design appeals to me more. I just don’t know if there’s reason it’s not as recommended as the SN30 Pro.

Any recommendations? I’m open to anything.

    Get the Pro 2 or the Ultimate if you go 8BitDo. The original Pro and Pro+ have really weird high input lag on Android.

    I personally use an Xbox Series X controller if I want to game on bluetooth with my Android tablet, and otherwise I plug in my wired 8bitdo Ultimate via a USB-C-to-A dongle.

    If your main issue is input lag, I’d steer clear of Bluetooth/wireless controllers for usage on Android. I have a Bluetooth controller myself and the input lag is very hit or miss depending on the emulator used.
