I think we discussed this before, but how's micro in actual use?

It's not a comfortable controller for adults, but it's a complete controller with all buttons that is very small.

It's good for young kids or if you want something small you can carry around for quick sessions on the go - I used it several times to play simple games like Vampire Survivors while cycling on the gym.

I also use it for VNs at home - in those games you're very often just pressing a button to move the text forward, so I hold with the buttons facing up, kinda like a small TV remote.

Ah okay, thanks for the info.

IMO the SN/SF30 series is great if you want compact and still good for actual gameplay.

Though you have to be able to grip it the old Super NES way, from the sides, held by fingers and with thumbs resting diagonally on the buttons. I discovered some people didn't like it but they were mostly holding it weird. Like cradling it uncomfortably in their palms with thumbs coming from the bottom...

It's kind of terrible as an actual controller, but lowkey a fantastic fidget toy.

I bought it for the novelty and it was worth it.

lol at lowkey fidget toy.

I plan to get Ultimate 2, so may as well get micro with it as well.
