I love 8BitDo and their controllers, but this one got extra points in what I never would’ve thought would come from a 3rd party controller.It’s a nice, heavy plastic, much like all of their older models. Holding it feels nearly similar to a Playstation 4 controller. The buttons are the usual membrane buttons, but they feel nice, clicky, and very responsive. So far, switching from Nintendo Switch, PC and Android, I haven’t felt any input lag, even when playing Online with something like Splatoon 2 and Monsrer Hunter Rise.The major key functions that I did not expect though… this thing actually has Shoulder Trigger buttons that are actually smooth to press like a Playstation 4 controller. Nothing like the SN30+. This also has full motion control, to the point that I had no issues at all doing motion puzzles on Breath of the Wild.I got the Gameboy DMG style of controller colors, but recently swapped them out with SN30+ buttons. I didn’t have to modify any parts to make them fit either, they all just work.Not only that, but their website shows you can buy replacement parts for all of their controllers, so there’s not much to worry about if you somehow wear out your sticks.This does not work for your Xbox without a dongle though, if they make dongles for that. That’s on Xbox though probably, since they don’t seem to like 3rd party wireless peripherals.

My Top Choice for PC. 8BitDo is my go-to company for PC controllers. Given the multitude of garbage options out there, and the ridiculous pricing of first-party console controllers, I’m happy these guys are around.Having owned the N30 Pro and wired SN30 for a few years now, I decided to upgrade to the black version of this Pro 2; per usual, I was not disappointed, and it exceeded the quality of my previous models, surprisingly.Thumbsticks: Most third-party or no-name controllers have unbearable deadzones that make aiming or navigating pointer-style menus a pain. Like my previous models, the Pro 2 doesn’t have that problem at all. They feel on par with a PS4 controller, but I feel that the tactile feel of the Pro 2 is a bit more enjoyable.D-Pad: This is a big one for me. On the N30, I had d-pad issues. Nothing major, but enough to occasionally annoy me. With a DualShock 4, the d-pad is really awkward to use. The Pro 2 is accurate like the DualShock, but it doesn’t have the awkward separated buttons. However, I’d check the d-pad upon receiving to ensure you get one that is up to par.Buttons: Far above any other controller I’ve used, and I adored the buttons on the Wired SN30. The Pro 2 somehow beat those. There is plenty of tactile feedback, when I hit a button, it does not stick or get jammed in the shell slightly. It simply works. Not to mention, the unlabeled look is really attractive. There are slightly off-color labels next to each button on the controller, but from a couple feet away, it’s just a beautiful black piece of art. The two extra buttons on the bottom side are also welcome. I like to replace the L3 and R3 button functions with them.Triggers and Shoulders: Triggers and shoulders are great. About what you’d expect from a first-party console controller.Shell: I didn’t know if I’d enjoy the “SNES with handles” look, but it is surprisingly sharp looking in person. Better yet, the contours of the controller rest better in my hands than any other controller I’ve held. Matched with the jet-black unlabeled theme, this is one I’ll be babying to keep in tip-top aesthetic shape.Connectivity:Being my second wireless 8BitDo, this is no surprise, but I didn’t notice any input lag. I’m sure it’s there as with any other controller, but it’s not in any way detrimental to even fast-press gameplay. 10/10. There are several connection modes, but I’ll only be using this wirelessly with PC games. I can’t comment on its Android or Switch functions. Definitely not Apple.Overall:This is now my favorite controller. It took the SN30 I have loved for quite a while, and it beefed up all the areas that could have been improved. While the SN30 felt great, the Pro 2 feels better. The same goes for its button feel, tactile feedback, comfort, and connectivity. When I hold this, I feel like I have the Bugatti of controllers, and if they made it compatible with the two main consoles, I’d never buy a first-party controller. 8BitDo has given me far fewer problems (practically none), lasts longer, feels more comfortable, and costs less.If I have one big complaint, it’s that I can’t hook it up to my PS4 when I want to game with my partner. Maybe work on that for the next upgrade if possible.

Compite punta a punta con un control pro de switch en calidad, y encima se puede conectar a la pc. Es muy cómodo por la posición de los joysticks y el d pad sin duda es el mejor que he probado en un control moderno.Y el color morado es una lindura

Un gran control revise videos en youtube y lo marcaban como el mejor control para nintendo switch y android y la verdad eran ciertas las criticas

its a solid controller but still leaves some things to be desired. So i give this controller a 4 out of five. The joysticks work great. the things i don’t care for are more of a personal gripe of mine based on years of gaming with various controllers. So I feel the d pad is a bit chunky and is made out of a kind of plastic that i honestly dont care for. the d pad feels cheep. Further more because of the cross style d pad. You can not do what you can do with the old playstation 1 style d pads. Which were really just four triangle which I think would have been a better choice in d pad configuration. Second I think a different kind of plastic would go a long way to make it softer on the hands while on a gaming binge. now that the d pad is out of the way. I think my other gripe is on the bottom two trigger buttons. first I will state that they are way to large. You have to pull them in for a much longer squeeze in order to get them to trigger. Thus my thoughts are that the triggers should have been inlaid in to the controller at a different angle and take up more of a bumper shape than that of these current triggers. This would maintain its ergonomics better and reduce some of the time it takes to get the triggers to respond. Other than that the game controller is honestly a pretty solid brick for all intended purposes. works well on both my steam deck and my switch.

Excellent Controller. This is a nice controller.The good:It feels solid, all the buttons are highly responsive, unnoticeable latency for gaming, and has mappable buttons with turbo.The bad:The joysticks are short and touchy (had to turn the aim sensitivity down in-game). The d-pad is too small, feels awkward reaching thumb from joystick to d-pad.Overall, the good outweighs the bad by a longshot. It just takes getting used to.If they ever make a Pro 3, a bigger d-pad and longer joysticks would be the only change necessary.Either way, for $50, it’s a great controller and I would recommend it!

Excellent high quality controllers with amazing battery life. I love my 8bitdo controllers. I initially bought one years ago to use with my iPad to play my retro games. Was so impressed with it that I bought another model (SN30 Pro+) to use with my retro pie (raspberry pie) that I have that’s loaded with retro consoles and games. I also use that one with my newer iPad to play the games I have installed with the Delta app. They work flawlessly and the battery life is amazing. The quality is definitely there as well. They’re essentially universal and seem to work with every application I’ve applied them to. I use them with my iPhone and iPad, my MacBook Pro, my NES classic and my retro pie. Can’t recommend these enough.

8bitdo makes the best controllers on the market. The media could not be loaded. Everything 8bitdo makes is high qualityI would place their controller over anything made by Xbox or Sony. Get this or the Bluetooth Ultimate 2.Either one comes with a dock. This one has swappable buttons so you never have to worry about the icons ingame not matching on PC. Value is amazing and feels great.Has back buttons, extra shoulder buttons, adjustable depth triggers.No company competes with them.

Best Controller. I never used a 3rd party controller before because I was skeptical of them and didn’t see a need. I decided to take a risk and try this one out because of the Macros. It was a bit of a learning curve at first but this is honestly the coolest controller I have ever used. It has the retro GameCube color and feels great in the hand. Setting up the Macros and running them makes it feel like I’m living in the future!! I cannot recommend this controller enough, it is amazing!!

es una joya para quien juega en serio pero odia los mandos aparatosos. Los joysticks TMR son precisos, los disparadores con efecto Hall se sienten suaves y sin el más mínimo drift.Lo mejor es lo versátil que es: funciona igual de bien en Switch, PC o Android, y cambia de dispositivo en segundos. Además, la base de carga es cómoda y el acabado se nota premium, con ese tacto firme típico de 8BitDo.Los botones traseros programables son un plus si te gusta personalizar, y los ABXY intercambiables lo hacen perfecto para quien salta entre plataformas.
