Best supplier for 8BitDo pads?

RooDBwoY

I really need to get a Bluetooth pad for my Retropie setup (RPi 3) and those 8BitDo devices look brilliant.

The problem is, the two official UK resellers want between 15-25 quid for delivery and the Amazon resellers want near enough a month for delivery.

Anyone know of any UK stock suppliers without ridiculous delivery times and costs? Need to get this thing on the road!

Cheers.

Boom!

eBay saves the day. Just hope it's not a fake.

Wired but really cheap. :)

Let me know how good are these 8BitDo when you get them. :)

I got the 8Bitdo pro back in November from Amazon, its a lovely little controller and compliments the raspberry pi and retropie

I may get another soon for multiplayer, I currently use a ps2 adaptor for player 2

Apologies for the nero bump, just wanted to add that I'm an official reseller of 8bitdo in the UK.

We've setup a voucher for 10% off for forum members.

I'll wait for an admin / mod to chime in before creating a new thread. Just to make sure it's Okay. The offer is live on the site and is unlimited time-wise. thasnk again.

@leeroy1981 where's the firmware for these controllers on your site?

and is this a genuine 8bitdo? as they don't appear on your site -

@leeroy1981 you deleted your post but I saw your message in the email. How come you deleted?

I would suggest that people only buy from authorised resellers on the 8bitdo.com website.
I tend to get mine from 8bitdo eBay account.

I think Lee is in discussion with 8bitdo.com now, so lets wait until that is resolved.

HI, yeah you caught my ninja edit! I copied in the email from the suppliers at .com, but then wondered if it gave away too much personal information.

I've emailed them again and asked for a link from teh official distributors page. Will update you once we have it and post back. Thanks again for your understanding. We'll also have some review / freebies to give away as well. :)
