It supports the listed Switch, Windows PC, macOS and Android platforms. Original Genesis or Mega Drive hardware requires a separate compatible receiver; the controller does not connect directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Sega-inspired layout for supported platforms\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M30 takes its layout inspiration from Sega Genesis and Mega Drive controllers, giving you six face buttons in a compact gamepad design. That arrangement can be appealing for compatible fighting games and other titles that benefit from access to several action buttons. This selected version is the black Bluetooth M30. It should not be confused with an M30 2.4G edition or another similarly named variant, because those differences affect the connection method and the hardware you need to use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUse Bluetooth where it is actually supported\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8BitDo lists Switch, PC, macOS and Android for this Bluetooth M30. Original Genesis and Mega Drive consoles do not accept a Bluetooth controller directly, so those systems require a separate compatible receiver. The Sega-inspired appearance does not change that connection requirement. Check your intended platform and the manufacturer's pairing instructions before selecting accessories. If the plan is original-console play, confirm receiver compatibility with the Bluetooth M30 specifically and do not assume a receiver for a different platform can be substituted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRechargeable play with practical control features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rechargeable battery keeps the M30 ready for repeated sessions without choosing disposable batteries, while the turbo function offers another control option where supported. The manufacturer also lists firmware updates, making the current instructions a useful part of setup and troubleshooting. Battery runtime and feature behavior can vary with use and platform, so this listing does not promise a universal duration or every function in every game. Choose the controller for its layout, then confirm the supported operating mode for your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8BitDo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSelected variant\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack Bluetooth model\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer SKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80HA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSupported platforms\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwitch, PC, macOS and Android\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBluetooth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRechargeable battery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurbo function and upgradeable firmware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOriginal Sega console use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeparate compatible receiver required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes it connect directly to an original Genesis?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Original Genesis and Mega Drive systems require a separate compatible receiver for the Bluetooth M30.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this the M30 2.4G model?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The selected product is the black Bluetooth M30, manufacturer SKU 80HA.
