8BitDo - Pro 2 Bluetooth Controller for Switch, Windows, macOS, Android and Steam Deck with Hall Effect Joysticks - Gray

Cons: To use the mapping software, I had to set the text size to 100%. Windows 11 had it set to 150%, and this puts the window off the bottom of the screen. There are no scroll bars. No battery indicator. I have to remember to plug it in every few days. I'm not sure how long it will go between charges. Pros: The mapping software works well, and you can map every button. I have swapped the X/Y and A/B pairs because that's what I am used to for my old DS4 controller in Steam. You can set up to four profiles, each with a different mapping. It supports macros but I am not using any. User-replaceable battery. Claims to be able to use a pair of AAs but I haven't tried. Nicely placed back buttons. I have them mapped to the joystick press buttons (I find pressing down on the sticks to be a distraction). Haptics work very well, just as well as the DS4. Gyros also work very well. Very accurate. The price can't be beat. I wasn't expecting such a good controller for what they ask. Other: I have the selection switch in "S" mode, which is not what they recommend for Windows, but it seems to work best for me. I'm using this with an ASUS BT 5.0 USB device. Never tried wired mode.

I'm a fan of 8bitdo's Controllers. I have specific uses for each controller. The Nano is a great keychain/Controller, it sparks interest when fellow gamers discover it actually works as a full on game Controller With one Caveat-2d games, Top Down, Side Scrolling games (no sticks) Women ALL say the exact same thing! "Ahhh, it's so Cute!" My Joy in discovering 8bitdo comes from not having to spend RIDICULOUS prices and i get a full featured Controller that allows me total control In fact, i had a brief learning curve the 1st time i attempted the mapping tool, not because it's technical and I'm not a dummy anymore, but there was an unexpected ability to create 3 seperate, totally different profiles (me, wife, kid) no matter who gets on the controller, it is tailored exactly how they want. A definite top 10 item to have on that deserted island

Such a cool controller. Being able to set it to different types of controller is so useful for multi purpose and emulation.

It feels amazing to use I’ve had zero issues connecting it to my PC and phone i havent tried to connect it to my switch just yet but I imagine it would be seamless and easy, Ive used the SN30 Pro which is the same form factor minus the handles and even that felt great in my hands so I couldn’t resist buying the standard controller form.

Exactly what I wanted. Retro style, super comfortable, and works perfectly. Great build quality—way better than I expected.
