Great Overall Controller

This is a great controller. The back buttons are a nifty addition, although I haven't used them much for the games that I've been playing (older games on PC). It's feels solid and is ergonomic. I think my only complaint, which is one I have on all modern controllers, is that the directional pad is too large. I've always felt that the size of the directional pad used on Game Boys is the perfect size, but that might just be me.

It feels pretty good in hand. But connectivity issues drag it down. Also the haptic feedback is atrocious. So many missed button presses on PC and Switch. I also had trouble getting the assignable back buttons to work consistently.

Terrible d-pad

Terrible d-pad. It's very difficult to have a steady direction (up, down, left, right) because it's overly sensitive. If you want to go right, you'll probably end up going diagonal on accident. Makes it difficult for basic retro games.
Other buttons, analog sticks, triggers, and overall feel of the controller are nice, but a bad d-pad is a deal breaker.
I do not recommend.

Was glad to get this and was great to use as an upgrade from the first generation of their pro controller. But unlike their first one when I attempted to use AA batteries instead it caused one of the connectors to break when placed in. I'm assuming this is just a lemon and plan on exchanging for a new one, until then I'm gonna have to keep it at a one-star.

As a dedicated gamer who appreciates quality peripherals, I recently had the pleasure of trying out the 8BitDo Pro 2 Bluetooth Gamepad in Gray, and I must say, it's exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Here's a detailed review of my experience with this controller:
Design and Ergonomics:
The first thing that struck me about the 8BitDo Pro 2 is its sleek and ergonomic design. The controller feels comfortable and well-balanced in my hands, with a familiar layout that's reminiscent of classic gamepads. The textured grips provide a secure hold during extended gaming sessions, while the matte gray finish gives the controller a premium look and feel.
Build Quality:
In terms of build quality, the 8BitDo Pro 2 impresses with its sturdy construction and attention to detail. The buttons, triggers, and analog sticks feel responsive and durable, offering precise control and tactile feedback. I appreciate the high-quality materials used in the construction of this controller, which contribute to its overall durability and longevity.
Wireless Connectivity:
The Pro 2's Bluetooth connectivity is seamless and reliable, allowing for hassle-free pairing with a variety of devices, including PCs, smartphones, and gaming consoles. I've tested the controller with multiple platforms, and I'm pleased to report that I've experienced minimal latency or connectivity issues, even during intense gaming sessions.
Customization Options:
One of the standout features of the 8BitDo Pro 2 is its extensive customization options. Using the 8BitDo Ultimate Software, I was able to remap buttons, adjust sensitivity settings, and create custom profiles tailored to my gaming preferences. This level of customization allows for a personalized gaming experience and ensures that the controller adapts to my unique playstyle.
Versatility and Compatibility:
The Pro 2's versatility extends beyond gaming consoles, making it a versatile controller for a wide range of devices and platforms. Whether I'm playing retro classics on an emulator, navigating menus on my smart TV, or controlling multimedia playback on my computer, the Pro 2 handles it all with ease, thanks to its broad compatibility.
Battery Life:
Battery life is another area where the 8BitDo Pro 2 excels. With up to 20 hours of gameplay on a single charge, I rarely find myself needing to recharge the controller, even during extended gaming sessions. The USB-C charging port offers quick and convenient charging, ensuring that the controller is always ready when I am.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the 8BitDo Pro 2 Bluetooth Gamepad in Gray is a top-tier controller that combines comfort, durability, and versatility into a sleek and stylish package. Whether you're a casual gamer, a competitive player, or a multimedia enthusiast, this controller delivers an exceptional gaming experience that's second to none. I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a high-quality gamepad that's built to last.

You definately get what you pay for. There are other controllers that are cheaper but don't come close to the quality of this one. This is fully customizable with their software. Change the button's lay out/function ANY way you wish. It is pretty responsive and the battery lasts for a long time. It connected to my switch right away without any issues.
My only complaint is that it feels just a tad smaller compare to my previous controller. If they would make the handles just a little slanted towards the outside instead of straight down it would make it ergonomic and more comfortable.
I definitely highly recommend the purchase and will but another one the next time i need a controller.

I wanted to have a controller that would work on my iPad Pro so I didnt have to be syncing my Xbox Elite Controller 2 between my Xbox and the iPAd Pro, I know first world problems, so I got this controller.
The build quality is really good and for the price I was surprised. The buttons and joysticks are great. The ability to switch between PC, Mac, Android, and Switch is really cool and with the app that allows you to map buttons and manage, customize, the dead zone of joysticks it is a lot more than your usual $50 controller.
I had to return it due to it input lag. It would spike randomly regardless of mode and that could be due to the iPad Pro being on iPadOS 16 which is known to be really buggy even at the last month of its testing cycle. I will mention it cause it is part of my experience and it was bad enough that it didn’t serve its purpose which was a very specific one.
I already have the Fusion Pro as a Nintendo Switch controller so this controller couldn’t replace that one since I use all 4 paddles on that controller for Splatoon and this one only has 2 extra buttons.
Overall it is a great controller and I can recommend it.

Overall, a feature-packed gamepad for a satisfying gaming experience.
