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 hate to do something like this, but I simply cant avoid it. I ~LOVE~ this controller. LOVE it. It is the single most comfortable controller I have ever used in over 30 years of gaming. Sadly, it just simply doesnt hold up. This is my second one of these controllers. Here is my review of the first. https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2E3CMH8KPNG4R/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B07TDTXHJP Just like the first one, this one developed a nasty issue that directly affects gameplay. Where as the first one would register a button press twice, this one has a problem with the left stick. It will randomly stop reading that Im holding the stick forward, which is a major problem for a game like Destiny that is literally built around your characters mobility. Im sorry 8Bitodo, but I cant keep doing this. It doesnt matter if it is indeed the most comfortable controller Ive ever held if the things keep dying on me within months after purchase. The first one lasted about 8 months. This one barely made it 4. Hate to say it, but it looks like Im back on the hunt for a new controller that will actually last.

It’s an 8BitDo Pro 2. They’re my favorite third party controller, especially my favorite D-Pad. However, the main draw of this one is the “clear” purple shell. Unfortunately, it’s so opaque and dark that you can’t actually see the internals outside of some shadows from the vibration motors or the pads for the buttons. Very dark compared to something like an Atomic Purple GBC or Switch shell. It’s a beautiful color on its own but other than that I’m not super impressed with the “clear” part.

Hands down one of the best controllers to get for the switch. Works great with both 2D and 3D games. I’ve been using this to play Breathe of the Wild and i rather use the sn30pro+ over the pro controller for Nintendo switch. USB C charging is nice since you can limit the amount of cables needed to charge it. Battery last a long time. I bought a second one cause I loved this one so much. Great buy!

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.

It felt a little clunky to me to play in comparison to a PS4 or Pro controller. They have nice software that brings out good features, but just wasnt for me. If you feel comfortable to use it, then its still a good buy!

This is the first product I have ever purchased from this manufacturer. I wanted to use the controller primarily for my Nintendo switch, I wanted something unique and that is what I got. The quality of this product surpasses most first party controllers I have ever used. This controller destroys the stock joy cons in quality and the feel is so sturdy and premium. the purple controller I obtained was so beautiful, the material is very smooth and there are no rough edges or corners. the controller charged quickly, and the battery lasts long as advertised. The rumble does work for the Nintendo switch. No input lag I can discern. My controller did come with the thumb stick covers in packaging. love them too.

Feels good and solid in the hands, has weight to it. Good battery life so far, had it for 3 months.

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.

This is the perfect controller for the Nintendo switch. This controller is the best all around controller for 2d games and 3D games. I got this over the pro controller because the pro controller lacks a good d pad to play 2d games witch the switch has tons new and classic 2d games. The d pad on this controller is just perfect! And I know because I’ve used my brothers pro controller. The only negative thing I have to say about this controller is it doesn’t wake up the switch, but that is very minor to what this controller offers. If your looking for the perfect controller to play 2d and 3D games this is a must.

Works well with my IPad for mobile gaming, set up and instructions were easy. Works for switch and other consoles as well. I would recommend this to a friend. I also like the color and style.
