AKNES 8BitDo Pro 2 Bluetooth Wireless Controller for Switch/Switch OLED with 2pcs Joycon Thumb Grip Caps,Gamepads for Steam Deck,MacOS,iOS, PC,Android & Raspberry Pi(Clear/Transparent Purple)

Better material, better design, more intuitive, better suited for BOTW, better construction, and compatible with anything. This controller is a masterpiece, while the pro (nintendo) controller has issues in all of the categories listed above. Most notably wobbly hand grips that are not one piece in frame but the third, and a garbage D-pad that would make Ken and Ryu go home and be a Family Man, along with clunky buttons.

POSITIVE: Battery power and range are both excellent. Following directions makes the connection easy. The controller is sturdy and heavy. Its easily my best controller. CONS: connections take time. Even after initial syncing it still takes a long time reestablish. The rumble feature is weak in this controller. That can cause problems for games that rely on varying sensitivity. Great controller!

This is great! I bought it for my switch. I paired it to my phone and was sad that the triggers didnt work. I switched it to X-input mode and they worked! I just happened to try out the Xbox streaming app and it works perfectly! Wow. This controller is awesome.

Bought this to use with my RetroPie setup (and my Switch as a bonus). You need to charge the battery pack before updating the firmware (or just pop some AA batteries in). It definitely feels third-party, but its a comfortable controller to use for long periods of time. The D-pad feels nicer than the one on my Switch Pro Controller, and the joysticks are fluid. The L2/R2 buttons are mushy so the Pro controller definitely wins there, but overall its a good controller and I definitely would buy another one. Pros: - Button mapping supported (need to download the software from 8bitdos website) - Rechargeable (has a removable battery pack if youd rather use AA batteries) - Solid D-pad, smooth joysticks - Comfortable grip Cons: - Mushy L2/R2 buttons - Cant wake Switch using this controller

Works easily and as readily as described, super comf, least expensive way to enjoy a controller across multiple platforms. Love it. The bag for it is a nice added value, letting me keep it and it’s cable with instructions together with no fuss. I do wish the bag were reinforced but as is, it does a good job of protecting it. Certainly more than nothing at all, and it was free.

I play on PC and my XBOX360 controller started to fall apart. Finding a new 360 controller thats under $100 is a nightmare. The other controllers I looked at were either very cheap looking or highly customizable and overly expensive. The SN30Pro+ was just what I was looking for. Fairly priced, sturdy and comfortable on the hands. I did have to adjust to the parallel analog stick grip which didnt take that long since I played PS2 back in the day. The only real complaint is that the USB C cord that the controller came with was a bit short. There carrying case was nice as well. As for switch compatibility: I dont have a switch personally, but hoping it up to my friends system was easy enough and it responded well. I would say this is a good alternative to the official controllers since its about 20 to 30 dollars cheaper. There are features missing like nfc and turning the system on remotely which should be noted.

I love the feel of this controller! i love the lil case it comes with~ Its so cute and just feels so nice to play with its so worth the 55$ I paid for this controller i highly recomend it for the Switch and on PC

For the Switch when playing solo I love using this controller instead of my Switch Pro controller(I never use Joy-cons while docked, except SM Odyssey) for games like Pokemon/DQ11 that are more menu based due to the position of the D-Pad. Other than that its an extremely well priced and solid controller if you need more for extra people with multiplayer games. It definitely has a very similar feel to the PS4 controller, but luckily far better battery life and USB-C vs Micro(one of my main gripes with the PS4 controller) On the PC it has been fantastic as well, Iove using it to play SNES games (That I do own) that have been modded with some difficulty, translation tweaks etc. But it works great for any game thanks to the software that comes with it that allows you remap buttons for using on the Switch and on PC separately, and many other options. Has worked well for any Stream game Ive tried. The fact that it doesnt have NFC doesnt bother me at all. The one game I might use the NFC often (BoTW) I prefer the Pro controller, but its not like you couldnt undock it, spam your amiibos, then go right back to using the SN30 Pro+. Would it be nice if I could turn on the Switch with the controller? Sure, but personally lifting a corner of the Switch out of the dock and back in really isnt too much a hassle. My only small issue is that the + and - (start and select) are a little out of the way. Side note about syncing, It is very important to follow the initial syncing instructions for the specific device you are syncing to (particularly being aware of the button combo that is different for every device type). Once I correctly synced the controller I have not had an issue with just pressing start to reconnect the controller. Note that you will have to resync to the Switch, after Syncing to your PC and vice versa(at least with Bluetooth) just like with the PS4 controller. The bottom line is that this controller is a fantastic Switch controller alone with the same build quality as an official Nintendo Pro Controller at a cheaper price. If you want something for Switch and PC, the value increases. If you want something for Switch, PC, Android, and Raspberry Pi...you get the point. I would also recommend watching the many youtube reviews that go into great detail about controller.

After a couple of months the rechargeable battery failed to charge. If I insert regular AA batteries it works fine. They want me to send the battery back to china and they will replace it. Seems kind of a lengthy process for resolution. Not really happy.

Ive been an 8bitdo user for quite some time and love their controllers. With the launch of the V2 controller, I purchased this to update mine. Is as comfortable as the first version, but mine arrived with a joystick drift. Update: Ive been playing with this for a week. I dont consider myself a strong person, but somehow a piece of plastic teared out of the controller as I was using it. As you can see in the image, it doesnt look like I dropped it, all the surrounding plastic is fine, it was really random. To the touch, this clear plastic does feel cheeper than the retro gray one i have, but I didnt expect it to break after a week. Im sad and disappointed.
