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.

@@retrosquall1732 Well Pro vs Pro 2 is just going to depend on preference and if the updates make any difference for you. Same with your Xbox controller, unless you just like the Dual Shock stick layout. I haven't experienced any drift with neither the Xbox nor the 8bitDo.
This is easily the best 3rd party controller with this particular layout right now. Build quality and feel are great, every detail is well thought out including the software, and it doesn't cost the world.
Got a Pro2 a few months back, never touch any other controller since. This thing is probably the best controller ever made and it's cheaper than most pro controllers.

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.

I haven’t used that controller but it looks like the website says it’s compatible with Xbox and Windows as well. I’ve never used Steam so I’m not sure if that falls under Windows or not. Maybe someone else can chime in!

You can set it where one button creates a string of inputs. So the back right button press, tells the controller you’re pressing BBYAB for example. Could be useful in a fighting game maybe.

I don’t think so. I think Xbox uses its own proprietary connectivity BUT there’s an Xbox version of it now. 😊
I wanted to love this controller but had to return it. It’s just uncomfortable to the point where it’s basically unusable when trying to use the analogue sticks. I’m sure it’s great for 2D games but I’m not buying a controller just for that.

But if you have other means, the lowest inputlag gamepad is the DS4. No gamepad is faster than DS4 (DS5 is somewhat behind but it's also very good. Xbox one is a bit worser than DS5 but still good. Nintendo is on pair with Xbox. SN30pro+ is at least 3x slower than xbox one). Congrats to Sony.

Dear God🙏💕❤ in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.
