Customer Ratings & Reviews

i got this on sale for 25 bucks. at first it was a great controller. 3 weeks later i voided the warranty when i smashed it on the floor. the buttons, d pad and triggers either stick (auto fire) or they register a press when your finger isnt even touching them. the last straw was the d pad was pressing up by itself, constantly opening the wheel menu and my hardcore character died.

Bought this for my niece for Christmas. She loves it. She says the controller is awesome and has great haptic feedback. She enjoys playing Fortnite with it said it helps her play better.

The controller would not connect as expected, sadly had to return.

Currently owned the SN30 Pro+ and used it for both switch games and pc gaming. The Pro+ is great for both while having the Playstation/Dualshock layout which I personally prefer. One of the only issues with it was how to connect it to each device with a button combination, and while I have had it for over a year and a half I decided to get the Pro 2 mainly for PC games while the Pro+ is for my switch. The Pro 2 improves on that aspect with having a dial switch on the back for each compatible device (Switch, Android, MacOS, and Windows) rather than holding down different buttons which makes switching much easier. The extra buttons and profile options also allow more diverse options if you want to change layouts for pc (as PS, Xbox and Nintendo all have slightly different layouts). Everything else looks to be practically the same as the Pro+ and is a faithful upgrade to the Pro+. The only real issue noted is that the software to change buttons, make macros, and change profiles (Ultimate Software) has a slightly different version between the Pro+ and the Pro 2 and you have to download the correct one. Hope that 8BitDo can make a universal software that can detect which controller you have, but that's only an issue if you want mess around with the software, or have both the Pro+ and Pro 2. Overall, I'd highly recommend the Pro 2 over the Pro+ for the extra buttons and better method of synching to different devices. Unless the Pro+ is on sale or you specifically want the SNES version of the controller (as the Pro 2 doesn't have the SNES version) then there is no reason not to get the Pro 2 instead. 8BitDo is a really nice third party company for a controller that competes well with the Switch Pro Controller, and certainly beats out other pro controller alternatives if you want a balance of quality and functionality.

Great controller but I must have received a defective unit. It did not want to charge for a period longer than 1 minute. If you plan on using it wired for pc then it’s perfect but for my switch needs it didn’t cut it.

Controller feels nice but has a lot of trouble connecting to the console and staying connected

i bought this 10 months ago and after a few months the buttons starter either not registering or registering other buttons, i tried fw update and using the app but nothing, the main issue is that this Chinese company makes it difficult to contact them> If your going to spend this kind of money I say go with an american/eu company that has higher standards when it comes to their products and warranties.

Fantastic 3rd party controller. Hooks up easy and very responsive. Buy it!

This is what the SNES should have had. Great for playing Mario Brothers 2.

Feels good in my hands while playing, works great with the switch!

It is always good for connecting to multiple devices on the fly.

It's a gift for my friend's kid no complaints so far

Connecting it to my switch is a hassle but once all is said and done, it's basically a pro controller.

The backside buttons could not be assigned in the game I tried to use it with even though Windows recognized them. Could not pair it via Bluetooth and Windows and it does not come with a USB dongle. The cord is very short.

Upon the first install, I used this for about 3 weeks with no issues on PC. Literally, the moment I turned on my XM3 Sony headphones, this controller literally stopped working. I turned on/off Bluetooth on my 2 year Dell 4K laptop. Deleted and reconnected to the controller, everything. GARBAGE. I should have picked the XBOX compatible controller.

Not happy. Had to resunc re pair with computer. Not very compatible

I was literally sent an empty box with no controller in it.

It was great until the left analog stick started drifting. Lasted about 3 weeks

I read so many great reviews but my goodness, I must have gotten a faulty one. Works good as a wired controller so I am holding onto it, but won't choose this brand again.

Did not work out of box, would not recommend to anyone unless they would like a broken controller.
