8BitDo Pro 2 Controller - Review & Detailed Comparisons! All 3 Colors!

Ойындар

This, is the 8BitDo Pro 2 controller - my review & detailed comparisons, featuring the SN30 Pro+, the Power A Wireless Enhanced Controller, Xbox One Controller, and Nintendo Switch Pro controller. In this video, I go hands-on so we can take a detailed look at what's different from the previous model, and why this is a great customizable controller for Nintendo Switch, Windows, Android, MacOS, Steam, and Raspberry Pi! This new controller features custom profile switching, enhanced grip, and a switch on the back where you can change systems! With the Ultimate app and software, you can utilize custom button mapping, and change the stick sensitivity, as well as trigger sensitivity and rumble intensity. And of course, the awesome d-pad is back again! The stick layout is similar to a PlayStation 5 controller and my favorite design is the one modeled after the first PlayStation, known as the Gray Edition. It's also offered in a Black Edition, and G Classic Edition, modeled after the Nintendo GameBoy!
Which controller do YOU have and will you be getting this one? Drop a comment below and let us know!! I like how sturdy this controller is, and it looks awesome! I just really wish it could wake up my Switch.

    Update on being bummed it can’t wake my Switch: I didn’t realize for it to work, you don’t have to unlock the Switch. So literally all I do is tap the wake button on my switch and it’s good to go. I can press the 3 button presses on the controller to unlock it and then I’m on. Since I’m always walking near the switch to get to my gaming chair, it’s no sweat really.

    hey there, im currently using an xbox one controller for my pc gaming which is mostly retro games /indies and new type of games as well, so im trying to make up my mind right now, if i wanna buy a pro2 controller or go for the sn30pro, or neither and just keep my xbox one controller, any advice ? one thing im alwaays concerned with controllers other than quality is the drifting, had that with my xbox one controller till i fixed it but it was annoying.

    I definitely like the Gameboy styled one the best -- it looks really simply and classy. The black is good too (and the one I first bought), but would have preferred a little bit of dark gray for contrast. Not really a Playstation guy and am not a fan of those big letters on the buttons.

    I can't really find any real flaws with the Pro 2 controller that don't come down to preference, it's just a overall good Switch compatible general purpose controller at a reasonable price. The build quality is solid, ergonomics are decent, buttons feel good, sticks work well enough, no connectivity issues, has 2 extra paddles and software for customizing controller functions. It's the controller I'm using with my Switch, however it's not my favorite controller. I definitely prefer the ergonomics on the XBONE controller, the sticks are better and the shoulder buttons are better thought out and more accessible without moving your fingers off the triggers. I also frankly prefer the dpad on the XBONE controller since dpad is mostly used for menuing these days, a more tactile dpad makes a lot more sense to me over a mushy one. I'm happy to use the Pro 2 with my Switch, however I secretly wish XBONE controller was directly compatible with the Switch, and that it had the paddles without shelling out for the ludicrously expensive Elite Controller. The PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller looked like an interesting option at a glance, but no remapping buttons is a dealbreaker - I'm not gonna play the Nintendo BAYX layout, it's so counter intuitive to me.
