Best Mouse for the Price and so Cool
This is by far the best mouse I've ever used for anywhere near this price point. Let me tackle a few key points.A lot of other reviews say the buttons are small and awkward, and while that is true, it only bothered me for a minute or two. After that, I barely even noticed they were different. BUT, since the buttons are smaller and don't wrap over the front like most mice, I have significantly less accidental clicks, and don't get accidental clicks from just bumping things.I don't see this mentioned anywhere in the description, but this is a "use anywhere" mouse. I was using it on a pillow with a very rough texture and it was still tracking perfectly. Not as precise as my dark field primary mouse obviously, but that's a $100+ mouse.The touch pad between the buttons works well in place of the mouse wheel. It definitely feels different, but like the buttons, it didn't take long for me to adjust. Also, the up and down buttons on the d pad on the side are page up and page down, so they make scrolling through web pages easy. I haven't tried anything that needed the Mouse 3 button, so I don't know if it has that functionality.I don't think I would recommend this as a primary mouse unless it's all you can afford. But between the use-anywhere capability, lack of accidental clicks, light weight, properly having a slot for the USB receiver inside the battery compartment, and freaking cool factor, this is a perfect travel mouse. And like I said at the beginning, by FAR the best mouse I've seen at this price point.

About as ergonomic as an original NES controller, but it's still freaking awesome!
This mouse is brilliant. It's as ergonomic as it looks... as in not very, just like an original NES controller. But somehow that makes me love it even more. I was initially disappointed that I could only scroll with the dpad on the side, but then I accidentally discovered the touch-sensitive strip between the mouse buttons that works like a scroll wheel (even with momentum, nice!). It's really taking some getting used to with the shape of this mouse, it really does give the same vibe as an NES controller, totally functional but square and edgy and a bit cumbersome, but it's a really solid device that clearly had a lot of love put into its design.Edit: after further use, yeah, it's a nice display piece for the shelf, lol! Really it is an impractical form factor, but I love it just for existing! There's a really interesting story behind this mouse!

Its meant to be a bit of fun *Updated 2/1/24*
Firstly, its not the greatest mouse I've ever used. The button's are meh, especially the left click button, as for those style of buttons are meant to be pressed straight down and not at an angle that your fingers typically sit and press into larger/flexible mouse buttons. And the 3D touch panel for the middle scroll wheel is absolutely trash. It doesn't scroll smoothly, it stutters and keeps scrolling after removing my finger, and half the time it just doesn't work.That being said, I enjoy the mouse, its basic functions work fine, and its unique and quirky. I'm probably going to pick up a different mouse that I can use for proper gaming. The lack of a middle mouse click button is a bit irritating, as well as not being able to remap any buttons either, but it was again a bit on the cheaper side, so I'm not too put off by the lack of features.Overall, for a gaming mouse, I wouldn't recommend. But as a fun little novelty for those who are into retro stuff, its not bad.*UPDATE*I've had to knock a star off the rating because of the middle scroll touch pad having completely failed. It would malfunction and just wildly scroll up and down with out me even touching it, and would be so much worse if I did touch it and wouldn't stop till I turned the mouse off and on again. I reeeeeeally wanted to like this mouse, and I do like the aesthetics of it, but cant excuse the shoddy option for a scroll "wheel" replacement and the lack of a middle click button which seems to be almost ubiquitous with mice these days.

Functions flawless; ergonomics however suffer
As much as I love the design it is almost unbearable to use, however it matches the keyboard so I had to keep it!

Cute couch mouse
Adorable, this is our spare mouse for the tv so it doesnt get much use other then scrolling youtube and netflix which it does fine. the touch scrolling is a little jumpy compared to a wheel but nothing unusable.

High potential
8Bitdo if you read this - I think this is an incredible first step.Is it perffect? Nah not all. Definitely room to grow and I hope this isn't a one time thing (I personally would love to see an SNES inspired version).Plain and simple this is a fun nostalgic mouse meant to be an everyday consumer fun doodad trinket to have. If you have HIGH expectations for the mouse and it's capabilities you will be disappointed.When I saw this I was stoked! There is so much potential for them to do this and do it even better! Could you imagine if they went with a PMW3330 or 3360 sensor? Added a start and select button for DPI and Profiles? Maybe even made an 8Bit - 8Bitdo UI where you could change polling rates to 1k? - Assign macros? What I see is potential for bringing jam up nostalgia like 8Bitdo always does - to a slightly different market.The capacitive scroll wheel is an excellent idea but it falls a little short in practical use. Often it misses and doesn't register the scroll - but more often it over or under scrolls.The hard edge design to keep with the feel of the NES controller is at times not very comfortable - but worth it.I won't mark it less than 5 because they need all the kudos and props to keep this journey up. DO IT 8Bitdo!
