  • You really have to try hard to find genuine reviews.

    HouseFresh did a good piece last year about the general state of product reviews. They’re a smaller site that focuses entirely on reviewing air purification products and noticed a large drop in traffic coming from search engines compared to giant digital media companies that can churn out tons of perfectly SEO optimized reviews of products they’ve never even tried first hand. And you know all those reviews are crammed full of Affiliate links.

    It’s a hard time with so much junk information out there

















  • Haven’t had any issues with the 8Bitdo, but I also have a Gulikit King Kong 2 that when it was new, had some issues with how the accelerometers worked when playing Switch games that eventually got fixed with a firmware update. It was kinda hard to play Splatoon 3 for a bit until it was updated. So i’d say the firmware updates are for stuff like that


  • 8Bitdo Pro 2 is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. Not entirely sure where they’re made, but I’m pretty sure they sell to Europe. On Linux, you’d have to follow these instructions to do firmware updates, since their update tool only works on Mac and Windows. I have a 8Bitdo SN30 Pro+ and its been perfectly fine on Linux.

    As an aside, if you, or anyone reading this is comfortable with soldering. Gulikit sells Hall Effect Sticks that can be retrofit into both the Dualshock 4 and the Dualsense, if you’re looking for that Playstation stick layout. (I believe Gulikit also provides the hall effect sticks that 8bitdo uses)
