I agree! Being only Bluetooth limits how many devices I can use this with. I have one of their other controllers which has both Bluetooth and 2.4g connectivity so I was surprised to find out this one only had Bluetooth. Especially with this form factor, I think a lot of users would prefer something with both, or at least a 2.4g variant.
I have the SN30pro+ and have also been considering the SN30pro. After having it for a while, how have you liked the feel of it specifically while using the thumbsticks without the handles in comparison to the SN30pro+? Thats been the main thing holding me back from getting it. I plan to use it to just play 2d (NES) games. So I don't plan to use the thumbsticks often, but on occasion for certain games.
So after you commented, I spent an afternoon going between both the SN30Pro+ and SN30Pro. I'll start off by saying without the handles, there's a lot of weight that's removed from the controller. The reason I bring this up is because I notice I switched how I held each of the controllers. Because of the handles on the SN30Pro+, I had a tendency to have a tighter grip, where on the SN30Pro it was more loose as in I also just suspended the controller on top of my fingers. Another thing I noticed is that on the SN30Pro+ my thumbs immediately laid on top of the thumbsticks, whereas on the SN30Pro, my thumbs laid immediately on the D-Pad and Buttons. I play a lot of retro games as well, and have different retro handhelds that I've attached both controllers on, and personally I found myself using the SN30Pro over the SN30Pro+ more. I think this is mainly because I sometimes find the handles to be in the way when playing retro games. This is very apparent when playing fighting or metroidvania style games. With the SN30Pro, I can claw grip the controller and easily use the thumbsticks, where was the SN30Pro+ the handles block my palm at times from being super comfortable. Ultimately I think it really depends on the type of game you're playing, but when it comes to a lot of retro games, my personal preference has been the SN30Pro over the SN30Pro+. I hope this information helps, but defintiely let me know if you need me to go into futher detail.
we need a 2.4hz version

@takseetv thank you very much! This helps!
Does the Sn30 pro work with the 8bitdo usb reciever dongle/stick?
