🎮 8Bitdo Pro 2 Bluetooth Controller - Enhancing Gaming Experience for Switch, PC, Windows, Android, MacOS, Steam, and Raspberry Pi (Black) Review

Works great with Nintendo Switch and Windows 10 (GOG, Steam etc.). Appears as a controller in the Windows Bluetooth settings. On the Steam platform with Xbox controller support enabled, button functions can be customized for individual games. Despite being smaller than a standard controller, my manly hands can still play for hours without discomfort. Its smaller size makes it easier to travel (e.g. playing computer games on long flights). It even fits well in my pocket (e.g. when I'm moving…

This is a solid product that looks fantastic. It's a real pleasure to play games on PC and Switch with it. All functions for them work perfectly. Android is a different matter. For some reason it only worked intermittently in games that supported it, and very often. MOST games. not support at all. If you want to buy a controller that you can use with your phone, skip it and buy something higher quality and universally supported. Another issue is how difficult it is to switch modes. A simple…

The controller is great. Works seamlessly with Retroarch on Android which was the main reason I bought it. You don't even need to assign inputs if you're just connecting to Bluetooth on your phone. The build quality is excellent. It's heavy and doesn't feel like cheap plastic. I also like that it charges via USB C and comes with 8Bitdo's own branded cable. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the 8Bitdo software didn't work right away. I downloaded from the play store and tried to use the…

This product didn't even come close to meeting my expectations. Linux support is extremely limited at best. I bought this controller to use with a Rasberry Pi 4 which it claims to support. However, you will find that it works about 30% of the time, the other 70% of the time is spent tediously trying to get Bluetooth to work. Sometimes it connects. Sometimes this doesn't happen and I have to remove the device and start over. In 80% of cases, the device is not recognized when searching for…

I love 8BitDo controllers. Their stylish, nostalgic design caught my eye, but they also have great build quality and are comfortable to use. The keys are responsive, clicky, and have plenty of travel, the controllers have fantastic battery life, lasting several days on a single charge, and I've never experienced any noticeable lag issues with any of their controllers, whether plugged in or not via USB or Bluetooth. However, there seems to be one glaring issue that plagues every model and it…

The design and build quality are good - heavier and slightly thicker on top than the SNES controller. Theoretically works with many platforms, but I only use it with the Nintendo Switch. The keys start out a bit clicky, but soften a bit with use. Decent battery life, and there's quite a bit packed into the small device. Unfortunately, the compromises made to achieve this at an average price point are pretty obvious. It sometimes takes two or three attempts to connect to the Switch, it turns off

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

Used it for a week, was skeptical based on some of the reviews I read about it. The fairly solid controller doesn't flex or feel like it's made out of cheap plastic, and all the buttons feel pretty solid too. It took some getting used to pairing it with the Switch as well as my Samsung S10 phone and computer, but once I figured it out I had no issues, but I'd recommend updating the firmware as soon as you get it. Updating the firmware is very easy and simple, download the firmware updater from…
