Recent firmware versions seem to have improved Bluetooth connectivity. Previously I had to be extremely careful about where I was holding my controller, and random moments of stuck input just ruined my chances of playing 2D platformers with any precision. Now, I would confidently call this platformer-ready. I just can't hold my controller too close to my PC while paired with the 8bitdo dongle, that still gives me trouble every time. It's a compromise I can live with though. If you have one of these and you haven't updated the firmware on it lately, or ever, get to 8bitdo.com and download the latest version.
It did not come with instructions, but for the most part things are self explanatory. However, having used the PS1/2 bluetooth adapter, which did require usb power, THIS DOES NOT require usb power. The SNES port itself has a small amount of power supplying it. I had hooked this up with usb cable thinking it needed some additional power and that actually provided backwards to the SNES itself and the system started working even with the power switch on the console in the off position. Whoops. Looks like the no hard came to the SNES, but lesson learned.
It works great, but there does seems to be a small amount of lag which can add some additional challenge to platformers that require precising timing. It's not too bad and I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the controller I'm using, but it is worth mentioning.
Benefits: WIRELESS (!!!!!) Super Nintendo Play
My setup with this was: SNES mini (SNS 101), 8bitdo SNES bluetooth adapter, Wiimote with Wii Classic Controller.
I recently played Battletoads in Battlemanics on my Super NES. For those not familiar, this is a game that is HEAVILY reliant on reaction and twitch movements. I didn't experience any noticeable lag playing on an HDTV using this setup wirelessly and was able to fully enjoy a gaming experience equivalent to that of a wired controller.
Of note: I hooked it to my SNES and began playing with this right out of the box. I didn't need to go online to update the firmware, etc.
I have not yet tried to hook up two of these for two-player games. I have read that sometimes the connection between players 1 & 2 can get mixed, but I haven't experienced this first hand.
This was the first third-party controller peripheral I've ever purchased for my Super Nintendo, and I have to say I am highly impressed. I would highly recommend this product and will be purchasing other 8bitdo products with confidence.

Wichtiges zu beachten ist das es sich um einen Bluetooth Empfänger handelt und somit nicht mit 2.4ghz wireless Geräten funktioniert.
Persönlich nutze ich einen 2.4ghz wireless controller und Empfänger für Spieler 1 und Bluetooth für Spieler 2 da 2.4ghz weniger Latenz aufweist und nicht so störanfällig ist wie Bluetooth. Dies ist aber persönliche Präferenz und hatte keine Probleme bis jetzt mit ihm.
