Pros

The pro 2 is by far the most comfortable controller for my hands. Are clicky but not mushy. The battery life is excellent.

The controller runs great when it is plugged in. Comes with a rechargeable battery pack and usb-c cable as well.

This thing is absolutely unreal. Build quality also seems excellent. Their stuff is amazing and never suffers from drift. Their compatibility and options are so great.

Overall customizability is nice and the software is easy to use, it's pretty intuitive. Also the customization (8bitdo ultimate) app is pretty decent. The custom profiles are great too but this controller will work right out of the box without them so...  Read More

The bluetooth connects fast and easy. La connection s'est effectué en quelques secondes par des étapes faciles!



Cons

Usbc ports connection is flickering and unstable, making it unusable for a wired connection. Total garbage. Don't recommend at all.

Price


I would much rather have this over the nintendo pro controller for the price point


I researched long and hard for a really good controller and decided not to go with the cheapo $30 and upgraded my pick to the 8...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


I literally just pack this one controller in order to game on all those devices.


I created an emulator box, and she plays with it every day and enjoys it a lot.


But the box is bent because of poor packaging.

Competitiveness


Feels great, not as sturdy as the main brands but only just slightly less so.


The 8bitdo pro controller is probably the best configurable controller on the market right now.


I was looking for a more cost effective/better alternative to the switch pro controller and 8bitdo has been on my radar for a while now.


But i can easily say that this is my preferred controller to be use with my pc, above any xbox controller.

    Ive had previous 8bitdo controllers and have enjoyed them but theres always been little quirks that kept them from being my fav or the best and after the overpriced pro controller started having battery issues i wanted a suitable replacement

    This thing is bar none the best controller for and retro emulation project

    I ordered it to replace my last sn30 pro which started having issues with the left toggle after about a year or so of frequent use and i have spare parts lying around that i hope to use to repair it down the road

    Ive seen a couple reviews talking about sore knuckles and finger pain but i suspect some of these users may have been holding it in a way that is not intended because my fingers dont go near some of the parts that they complained about like the ridges under the trigger buttons


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It just has a couple flaws that keep it from being really great the angle of the grip to the face of the controller is too high and it can be awkward to hold comfortably


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You can tell just by looking at it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The grips angle should be much more shallow in order to be properly comfortable
