ANBERNIC RG P01

I got this controller just to use with my Nintendo switch. It feels really good in the hand and paired oh so very quickly. The only downside I've found to it is that it seems that there is just a little bit of input, delay or latency. So in games like super Smash Bros. It was kind of a bummer. I also have an 8-bitdo 2c pro Black myth wukong which works wonderfully and I mean I have no input delay with that but it is not near as comfortable as my anbernic. So yeah, pros are comfort, comfort, comfort and so easy to pair, but the little bit of input latency kind of turns me off. Oh, and the buttons feel just a little mushy compared to my 8-bit do. For the price I paid I'm definitely not mad but yeah there's a couple things I think they can improve on on this

It's truly a really cool controller. One of the best I used. No latency in wireless mode. Nice colors thanks to RGB Lighting Effect. Plus, the white one is really beautyfull. Honestly, I think I'll never buy something else than Anbernic anymore.

I bought this controller to mainly use with the switch. I was shocked to see how easily it wakes the switch from sleep. Lots of other (more expensive) controllers require you to get up and wake the switch manually or weirdly enough shake the controller (8 bit do). The rumble feels great and all of the buttons and sticks feel awesome. The fact that this controller is as cheap as it is is crazy to me. It's one of my favorite switch controllers that I own and it was by far the cheapest. These need to be in best buys, walmarts and targets. Thank you anbernic, this little controller is amazing.

A great, affordable controller. Specially noteworthy the gyro capabilities, it's great to play Nintendo Switch 👍🏻

Honestly, I love this controller it's very smooth, light weight, I definitely recommend

Great controller so far. Only issue is remembering how to program the macro buttons bu that a memory issue rather than a functional one lol

This controller shocked me how good it is for the price. It syncs right up to my rg353m. Only thing I don't like is it desyncs too quickly if you set it down to look at something. But even in the middle of a game it syncs back up no problem

Sin lag, rápida conexion con el receptor. Versatil.

I used it for a few days, using the dongle connected to the computer, it is very nice to use, quite accurate and comfortable to hold.
I have no complaints.

Fast even from China no delays or getting stuck at some hub en route.

Very good controller, I would have liked it to be compatible with Xbox but as I am doing it works well, it's quite good.

My favorite controller for Anbernic devices!

My 2 main controllers are the Xbox One for PC along the 8BitDo Pro2 for Switch and the Ambernic RG P01 sits in the middle of both of them when it comes ergonomics comfort.
It took me a bit longer to get used to the angle of the controler but once I was done fighting the muscle memory, it works surprisingly well.

The only draw back I have about it is I wish I could swap easily between devices (PC, Switch,...) easily without having to re-sync the controler everytime. If you use it only for a single device this will be a non issue but if you plan to use it between different devices, this will rapidly become an issue for you.

Compact, works well and I like the black colour. Recommend.

Very good control. It fits very well in the hands.

Ver happy with the Anbernic RG P01, works perfectly and is better than expected! Just waiting to see if Anbernic decides to launch a phoneclip for having an even better experience!!

So far the controller feels very good in my small hands. Only owned xbox controllers before and you notice the quality difference on the d-pad. The facebuttons look kinda cheap but feel fine after some time of getting used to it. The triggers movement is a bit short, but absolutely fine for my use cases. The HAL joysticks are a treat.
The front facing LEDs are way to bright and i wish they would turn off by themself or can be dimmed. Currently have a tape over it to dim it.
I have updated mine recently and the only problem i have found so far is that it resets its connection to another, which is not the dongle one. All the other settings remain the same.
Would recommend it for the cheap price.

Me pareció un control increíble y llegó en el momento justo en mi vida, pues había optado por un GameSir Nova Lite porque no me gustaban las opciones de diseño del Nova. Sin embargo, echaba mucho de menos esos botones traseros que son increíbles. Cuando llegó este Anbernic, casi ni lo pensé: es un control de una marca de calidad y gran renombre, por lo cual no dudé en confiar en ellos.

Realmente pensé que iba a tardar mucho más en llegar, pero llegó mucho antes de lo planeado, lo cual me alegró, a pesar de que fue en el preestreno. Ya teniéndolo en manos, puedo decir que no se siente nada mal. El antigrip, o como se diga, es muy eficaz: no se resbala. Conectarlo con el receptor es fácil y no presenta dilemas. En el celular y la Nintendo también conecta sin problemas.

Tema colores:

Yo pedí el negro, a mi parecer es hermoso, aunque el blanco es una buena opción, solo que no puedo asegurar que no se ensucie fácilmente. El púrpura, bueno, no hay mucho que decir, no es el favorito del público, pero para gustos colores.

Joystick:

¿Qué puedo decir? !! Son increíbles ¡¡. La zona muerta prácticamente no existe, aunque sé que está ahí porque, a veces, al tocar accidentalmente la palanca, no se mueve. Está configurada justo en lo justo y necesario y, si no te convence, puedes ajustarla como dice el manual. Según yo, está perfecta.

Botones y gatillos:

Los gatillos me parecen muy buenos, aunque quizás, por lo acostumbrado que estoy a los poderosos controles del Xbox 360, se me hacen algo pequeños y les falta longitud. Entiendo que es un tema de diseño, pero, de igual manera, no son incómodos. Quizás se sientan raros las primeras dos o tres veces, pero luego te acostumbras.

Los botones, aunque puedan echar en cara que son de membrana y no de clic, no me molestan. Si fuiste o eres usuario de consola, esto ni te va a importar. Son responsivos y no generan falsos clicks (presionar sin respuesta). Quizás los botones de "Select" y "Start" deberían estar en la segunda fila y no en la primera, porque es más cómodo, pero no es algo que importe mucho. Además, es el primer control; si toman en cuenta el feedback que podemos darles, como suele hacer Anbernic, las futuras versiones serán mejores.

Botones traseros:

En lo personal, es algo que quería mucho. Probé un tiempo un control con estos y quedé fascinado, ya que me permite acceder a botones sin esfuerzo en momentos tenzos en partida. Sin embargo, tengo una pequeña queja. Aunque el control en general es increíble y no tuve dificultades para usarlo, configurar los botones M1 y M2 se me hizo complejo. Configurar un solo botón está perfecto, pero grabar un preset (por ejemplo, adelante-atrás-X) con la palanca es horrible. Siento que no se guarda bien, y el proceso es tedioso.

En cambio, al grabar el preset con el D-pad (o "las flechitas", como yo les digo), es mucho más fácil. Son pulsaciones simples. Por ejemplo, grabé un combo en Mortal Kombat y una Fatality para mi hermanito puedo decir que es responsiva si lo haces con el D-pad, pero con el joystick es fatal. Además, de normal, grabarás botones como "B" o "Y", y usar las secuencias no es tan común, se agradece que lo implementaran pero mejor quizás se debió pulir un poco más.

Tacto, materiales y precio:

Quizás el plástico usado no se sienta ultra premium, pero tampoco se siente barato o frágil. No es caro, y es posible que, si lo pides en Latinoamérica, como yo, lo más costoso sea el envío. Con el tiempo, seguramente el stock mejorará y será más barato.

El precio fue exactamente de 135,200 pesos colombianos, y para la calidad ofrecida, no me siento estafado. Es una compra que con gusto recomiendo y que vale totalmente la pena.
(Cabe recordar que lo compre en preventa)

Conclusiones

Es un control de muy buena calidad por el precio, con funcionalidades como el antigrip, el efecto Hall y los botones traseros, que le suman muchísimo. Quizás no sea ideal para alguien que venga de controles muy caros de PC, con materiales superiores, pero si vienes de controles de Xbox, PS4 o controles genéricos (como los de San Andresito, en Colombia), el tacto se siente de calidad. Es una buena inversión si quieres jugar y olvidarte del drift. Lo recomiendo totalmente, con mi sello de "3B": bueno, bonito y barato.

Used for games like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat, 50 UFO, Rocket League or Black Myth Wukong, and so far nothing wrong happens.
The lightweight od the controlle is a plus, vibration are the plus, ease of the connection is the plus.
Except of a bit harsh method of changing RGB (it does not save) I do not have anything to complain.
Will se ofcourse in next 200-300h of gameplay but as for now I can recommend it, thanks.

This thing is stellar. I originally only jumped on buying one because it was so cheap, about $30 with shipping. I figured I would use it as a dedicated controller for my Odin 2 when I played docked, but then I enjoyed it so much that I started using it for PC as well. Switching between Android and Xinput Bluetooth connection is super easy, mapping the back buttons is quick to learn, and my son is obsessed with the LEDs around the sticks (he’s two and he loves to pick Dada’s color before we play.)

I have no idea how they are able to sell these so cheap, but I am having a great time using it for everything from NES to Black Ops 6.

I saw this new PC controller was on sale for a price I could afford and decided to give it a shot. I dont remember what day I received it in November.
I like the box it came in. Had funny rings to protect the two Circle sticks. Nothing was out of place or odd. It works well my brain just needs to get used to how games want it to be used. My only issue at the moment is those two buttons on the back of the handle. I cant fully grip it like I want or i'll hit those buttons. When I accidentally do. The game I play makes them do some auto movements I never registered and I dont know how to turn it off on the controller even after looking at the instructions paper. Other than that, Ive had no other issues and I like the controller. Even if it is a tad small for my big arms.
Keep doing your best creating all your stuff. Be safe and well. 0=0/

I didn't receive the controller 26 days ago like your email said, but I've have it for about 15 days and they work fine. I bought all 3. Everyone loves them. To be honest and fair, I think that they are a bit lighter than I expected. For some people that's great, but for me it makes them feel cheaper than they are. They are really great. I just wish that they had more weight to them.

Use on my pc and steamdeck and other handheld pcs works perfect great battery and feels better than all my first party controllers

Funciona muy bien, mejor que otros que usaba.
Con el adaptador es como mejor partido le saco.

I'm a bit of a controller collector so when this particular model started making the rounds on YouTube, I was intrigued and bought one. Personally, I think it is a great controller for the price. Buttons, sticks and triggers all feel great and the plastic of the grip is comfortable in the had. It doesn't feel cheap. The d-pad isn't the best ever, but then what d-pad is these days? For $17.99, I highly recommend this controller, particularly if Anbernic starts selling them on Amazon, where shipping costs are greatly reduced. Shipping was almost as much as the controller, and that is really my only complaint. I use it for my Steam Deck and it does exactly what I need it to do. I'd say that it is almost on par with 8BitDo's offerings. Good purchase.

Hall effect sticks and triggers, programmable bottom paddles and auto fire, customizable rgb. Very similar to 8 bit do, but less snapback in sticks, I haven't noticed a dead zone like retro fighters, so they split the difference well. Wish it came in more colors, but currently my new favorite.
