Cheap Bluetooth Controller "Bestoff" Pro Controller

Unread post by jayp76 »

I bought this controller just for fun. The price and the controller body intrigued me. The small bumps on the back of the handles feel nice and you have a good grip. It is primarily a 3rd Party Switch controller.

Here is the best part. In Switch "Pro Controller" mode it cannot be paired with MiSTer, but there is an Android Mode, which is not documented in the manual. With Android mode it can be paired and used as normal. It also reconnects flawlessly after standby/shutdown.


Android Mode: Hold button "A" and then power on with the Home button. The 2 middle LED's start to blink.

Just my personal opinion but that is basically an 8bitdo design ripoff, but somehow they made it significantly less aesthetically pleasing.

But if it's a good controller, it's a good controller I guess. :P

Designwise they are not comparable in my opinion, the 8bitdo's are much sleeker and look like good quality. But yeah, all clone controllers rip off themselves. The market is flooded with them.

Looks cheap and esthetically unsettling to me
It is my great regret that we live in an age that is proud of machines that think and suspicious of people who try to.
