    8bitdo doesn’t disappoint

    Awesome controller for Switch 2 and Switch. It is an amazing price for the quality. The joy sticks feel amazing and are Hall effect so they do not drift. It has extra mappable buttons. 8bitdo provides firmware updates when needed. This is a good alternative if you’re looking for a pro controller for Switch but can’t afford the more expensive options.

    "Great controller with excellent features" "I’m really impressed with this product. The build quality is solid and it feels great to use. A big plus is the rumble feature, which adds a lot to the gaming experience. I also really appreciate the customizable buttons, which make it easy to tailor the controls to my play style. Highly recommended!"

    Great Alternative to Pro 2 Controller

    This controller is a great alternative to the Switch 2 pro controller. It beats it on price by half. The hall effect joysticks should be standard on any controller! The transparent black looks really cool. I also like that it comes with thumbstick covers. I like them, but the pattern/color may not be for everyone. I put covers on all my controllers so having some included was a welcome surprise. The feel of the controller is not quite as nice as the Pro 2 controller, but is a great alternative for anyone who wants a solid controller at a great price.

    Reliable and Appealing

    Perfectly fits into my aesthetic, and just feels right in your hands. Buttons and triggers provide good feedback, that makes this controller your go-to for gaming. It’s easy to connect to any system with bluetooth. If I had to sum up my thoughts on this controller in one word, it would be “professional”, and at half the cost of a controller from any first party company.

    It works perfectly on the Switch 2. The extra buttons you can map are nice to have, and 8bitdo is great about keeping the software updated. Connects quicker and more reliable than other cheaper alternatives. If you want a Pro Controller but are on a budget, get this one.
