The start and select buttons need to be fully pressed

A half press will not be recognized which is slightly disappointing but because theyre not frequent buttons pressed its not a big deal

Cons 8bitdo does sell a dongle for this controller but i think its strange that it doesnt just come with one sometimes its better to use a dongle depending on your setup
