8bitdo Pro 2 on controllers

Initial review - expectations exceeded. Very impressed right out of the box. The look of this controller screams "premium boutique" rather than "cheaper, lower-quality third-party item". I have an all black controller and it looks great. The glossy unlabeled buttons look great on this controller (the labels are on the side, not on the buttons themselves). The texture on the back feels nice and the layout of the buttons and joystick is perfect. The analog triggers are surprisingly light, with no resistance like the PS5 controller. It all feels extremely light yet premium, strong and durable. My PS5 controller creaks and squeezes and seems to be very loosely built. The Pro 2 doesn't feel that cheap. It feels absolutely solid. The mold fee holds up better than the PS5 controller. I spent $75 on a red PS5 controller and it developed stick drift in less than 200 hours. It didn't come with a removable battery or a USB-C cable. At $50, the Pro 2 is a much better choice, it's compatible with every system and has software to let you customize it exactly how you want. I also have a Switch Pro controller, which costs more and doesn't even have analog triggers, but has insane input lag. Works perfectly. Looks great. Feels good. The price is great. The functionality is great. You will not regret buying this controller.
