    Great price for a great quality controller! Buttons are not mushy or sticky. Charges quickly and can use it for a really decent amount of time before a recharge is needed. Can use it on a switch, pc, or retropi.

  2. Checoo

  3. Kljwoke

    The 8BitDo Pro Controller is a fantastic gaming controller that combines the nostalgia of retro gaming with the convenience and versatility of modern technology. With its excellent build quality, multiple connectivity options, and rich feature set, it caters to a wide range of gaming needs. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a seasoned enthusiast, the 8BitDo Pro Controller offers a satisfying and enjoyable gaming experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality controller with a classic design. This is now my controller of choice for my switch and PC.

  7. JamesonD

    Works great with my Brook Wingman XE 2 so i can use the controller on my PS3, Switch, and PC

  8. Sniperkh12

    Works perfect! Reminds me of a PS3 controller, the controller has wonderful battery life. A very sturdy design and a near perfect weight.

  9. chuckyducky

    The controller is a welcome alternative to the standard joycons and provides greater comfort for the longer sagas

  10. Chuck

    Like the SNES controller with Playstation analogs. This controller is nostalgic yet modern at the same time. Being able to use it on the PC is definitely a plus.

  11. SMARTTV

    Great product, using it with my raspberry pi 4, also works with my 22 ultra and switch

  12. JulianM

    Hands down the best third party controller. Sticks move very smooth yet are solid in place (also are very resistant to stick drift), Face buttons feel nice, battery lasts a very long time, connecting is very easy, and comes with a downloadable custom profile software on your pc to customize buttons, You can set macros, turbo, and set trigger sensitivity to your liking with 3 different profiles available. I bought 2 of these, an older gray one to give to my friend and the black one. I have yet to have an issue with either. And if you do manage to break a part of the controller they have a website where you can order parts and replace them yourself. The price it’s at feels like a robbery for how good it performs and plays considering I have big hands, and controllers like the Dualsense feel very uncomfortable. Would 100% buy again.

    NOTE: THIS CONTROLLER DOES NOT CONNECT TO PS5 NATIVELY, YOU WOULD NEED A CONVERTER

  13. JaimeO

    One of the best controllers I’ve evere bought, after buying this one i had to go back for the lite and the 8bitdo ultimate. Theyre good controllers with alot of functions, plus the compatibility over multiple devices and the ability to edit keybinds whenever with the app is useful!

  14. Gerg

    Besg buy hasnt updated their page for some of the 8bitdo products, but the bluetooth ones all work with mac, ios, ipados, and tvos! Just go tk their website for instructions to pair. Box isnt updated for a lot of them but they should work!

  15. display

    Great controller, thumbsticks aligned properly. Responsive and comfortable. All-around excellent.

  16. SharpeXB

    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.

  17. Dinofrankie

    Excellent game controller! Plugged it in and it worked with Steam, right out of the box.

  18. StreetFighter

    Pretty good for most things. Best for platformers. Not the best for fighters.

  19. Juulian

    I have an 8bitdo dongle for when im docked but wireless and even when docked this controller does not fail has the classic SNES controller feel but the handgrips give it comfort

  20. OleumVitriolum

    The paddles can only be mapped to an existing button on the controller.

  21. Leon

    Awesome controller, love it works great with every device

  22. Unknown

    I use the remote now and then and its aight, no problem with the remote just charge it and reafy to go

  23. MadAsAMarchHare

    Feels like the the Nintendo Pro Controller yet in addition to Switch it works on PC also for games like Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster

  24. IM5G3

    I use this on my gaming PC. I got this because I hate the Xbox controller and ps5 controller is too bulky for me and wanted something close to the ps1 controller.

  25. Kuya

    I use this for my switch, PC, and iPhone for gaming. So easy to pair with each device and has different toggles. Can also put regular batteries as well as comes with rechargeable battery.

  26. AdamM

    Product works great on my retropie! Connects almost instantly when you turn it on. Feels comfortable when held in your hands.

  27. EdnaE

    Best Buy 100% guarantee this is the you need to go to if you want excellent products that’s going to last and good service from there workers

  28. Shinen

    Better than using a keyboard on my computer for games. Easy to use and wireless.

  29. AnthonyF

    I got this as an open box, and I really just wanted an extra controller for an Android phone. It worked perfectly out of the box, and the open aspect was not a problem at all. I like just about every aspect of it. One thing I didn’t know about was the little switch on the back where you can change its mode between 1 of 4 options. This is critical for Android, otherwise the buttons are unintuitive by default (B is confirm, A is back). Once I figured this out from the instructions, it worked great. One complaint I have is that the extra buttons on the back can easily be hit by mistake, and they seem to default to actually do something, but I like the flexibility. Also, I believe the triggers are digital and not analog (not the bumpers but the triggers) but I could be wrong about that. This does everything I need it for though (retro gaming). My main controller is still the 8BitDo SN30, but this is good for a change and has some nice grips (specifically asked for by my daughter).

  30. Unknown

    One of the best gaming controllers that I ever had.

  31. juiceman

    This is a great controller! I needed this controller to play F-Zero 99 and it serve its purpose. I’m glad I’ve bought this controller.

  32. James

    Good controller for switch and for the price was little annoying to connect to switch but once it does it works fine and feels premium does not feel like a cheap controller

  33. Dano

    comfortable, precise, easy setup and feel. Just what I needed for my new Samsung TV

  34. AgedTech94

    The item is great, and perform to my exact standards. Tess.

  35. Chilly

    Besides getting used to handle wise, everything was straightened. Handles well, BT connection was easy, and response is great.

    Would recommend

  36. Peterb

    Not bad, but wasn’t compatible with what i needed. It worked on my other item.

  37. mentholcase

    The analog trigger springs could use a bit more push-back, but otherwise, this controller is a nice blend of retro & modern.

  38. Libertine

    Got it before the intended day. Controller was nicely built and easy to connect.

  39. DanM

    Great product. Although I don’t trust the software. Windows recognizes it as a threat, so whatever default software it comes with is what’s staying.

  40. ChristopherW

    Firstly Dpad is next to none. I’d buy this controller just for the dpad because it’s so good compared to more modern controllers.
    Perfect controller for just about any device. Got this on sale on Black Friday for $40 bucks and for sure one of the better purchases I have recently made. Use this with my PC, IPhone, Steamdeck, and Switch!

  41. Okamisove

    This is one of the best controllers, period. Great build quality, easy to use software on mobile and pc, and a fantastic replacement/alternative to the switch pro controller. Only downsides are you need to update the firmware once you buy it and it can’t wake the switch. Other than that, I still use this controller over the offical one in most cases. 8 bitdo is a high quality brand and I reccommend their products any day.

  42. TimothyS

    The feel and build is very good quality, worth every dollar.

  43. AdrianG

    This is a long-term review as I have owned and used this controller regularly for 2 years now.

    My most favorite feature is its inter-connectivity as I have been able to easily use this controller on my PC, Nintendo Switch, and phone and switch seamlessly between them just be moving the dipswitch in the back accordingly. The controller using a USB C connection is great and it’s infinitely better in durability than the older micro USB standard.

    The overall button quality is good, although the analog sticks are inferior in control and responsiveness to modern Xbox controllers imo, but they’re still very usable and good. Not the biggest fan of the D-pad, but I also haven’t used it too much admittedly. Has gyro capabilities, but only when it’s being used as a Switch controller I think and also think it cannot wake up the Switch. Its layout where the analog sticks are pretty close to the primary buttons on the right side can lead to some hand discomfort after long game sessions, but using claw grip has helped me here. Its overall build quality beats any third-party controller I’ve used in the past, although it’s not as nice as first-party controllers.

    This controller is durable as after two years of regular, almost daily use, wear and tear is noticeable only on the analog sticks (see image). The controller is still completely functional though, just kind of ugly/gross due to my corrosive hands lol (perhaps covers for the analog sticks are something to consider). Battery life is very good as I can use it for multiple days before needing to charge it. It can be a little finicky with turning back on when trying to turn it off but this is kind of a nitpick.

    Overall, a really good, reliable controller with great connectivity that has withstood the test of time and has been well worth its price (bought while on discount). Highly recommended especially when on sale!

  44. steakman

    I really like 8BitDo controllers. The buttons are just clicky enough, directional pad feels great. I have also not experience controller drift with the sticks.
    I use it to play retro games. If you need a controller, I’d recommend checking them out.

  45. Kagex

    Love the small controller with all the extra buttons. Very comfortable controller and works like a charm on PC.

  46. dany

    Definitely worth the prize. Exactly what I was looking for, super comfortable and easy to use. Was playing with it straight out of the box.

  47. RaimundoZ

    The 8BitDo Pro 2 Bluetooth Gamepad impresses with its versatile compatibility, customizable controls, and solid build quality. The ergonomic design ensures comfortable gaming sessions, while the long battery life adds convenience. However, some users may find the initial setup a bit complex. Overall, a feature-packed gamepad for a satisfying gaming experience.

  48. Gamer593

    Great controller! I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

  49. LGFan

    My 17 year old son loves it for shooter games, but there are some games where the keyboard and mouse is better than the controller. In short, if your focus is on shooter games, this is amazing and well worth it.

  50. DomynikE

    Great controller. Sits nice in the hands and the thumbsticks feel great to use
