AKNES 8BitDo Pro 2 Bluetooth Wireless Controller for Switch/Switch OLED with 2pcs Joycon Thumb Grip Caps,Gamepads for Steam Deck,MacOS,iOS, PC,Android & Raspberry Pi(Clear/Transparent Purple)

I really wanted to love this thing! Build quality is excellent and the design is so freaking cool but if you have smaller hands, or are very used to a PS4 controller, this just simply isnt comfortable. The placement of the joysticks caused a lot of strain on my thumbs. Also felt I was reaching too far for the shoulder buttons.

I went with this one since it was the same price as the other and came with a bag at the time I purchased it. I dont know what I will do with the bag but hey free bag :) . The joystick is great for 8bit style games and games that work better with the D-pad. Ive used it with a Switch and a Raspberry Pi 4 so far and havent had any issues. The only thing I wish it was able to do is wake the switch from sleep but that may be fixed with a future firmware update (fingers crossed) Very high quality pad and is on par with the Pro Controller IMHO.

The controller has a great D-pad, which is primarily why I bought it. Its also a good option for games that dont use the D-pad, as the control sticks are nice and comfortable. The battery life is nowhere near as good as the Pro Controller, but you can use AA batteries as backup. This version even comes with a little carry case. Overall a good buy.

After a couple of months the rechargeable battery failed to charge. If I insert regular AA batteries it works fine. They want me to send the battery back to china and they will replace it. Seems kind of a lengthy process for resolution. Not really happy.

I am running mac osx and use this with the OPENEMU emulator. It was instantly recognized and easily programmable. This feels great in the hand as far as ergonomics go. The buttons are responsive. The d pad is PERFECT. I tried this on MAME, NES, SNES, N64, PS1 AND GENESIS games and had no issues at all. This is a Snes controller with analog sticks and hand grips. Make no mistake this is a quality product.. ---HOWEVER--- When I connected this via bluetooth there was an apparent lag. So I plugged this in with the usb cable and turned off bluetooth and the lag was gone (this is my preferred method)... SO pick your poison. For me this is no big deal as I have no problem with cords but apparently some people do.

Great controller. Very comfortable and the turbo can be mapped to work for the switch.

This is already my second sn30pro controller and my 4th controller from the brand 8bitdo. This is a very good company with quality materials and the fact that you can use them with several platforms its just very practical
