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)

Oh well. Other than that, the Controller is excellent! Great battery life. Also, great design, combining the best bits of Nintendo and Sony controller designs. Compatible with every device Ive tried, so far. If it has Bluetooth, it works (although the Switch itself can be a little temperamental). The travel bag would have been a nice touch, though.

I should have read more about this before I ordered it. I specifically purchased this controller for my Nintendo Switch to play the recent Zelda games and without HD rumble its just a no go for me. Also one cannot wake the Switch with this controller either. I have a cheap 29.00 controller that does both, so I dont know how 8bitDo dropped the ball here but Im returning it immediately and am getting the Switch Pro like I should have to begin with.

Bought this to use with my RetroPie setup (and my Switch as a bonus). You need to charge the battery pack before updating the firmware (or just pop some AA batteries in). It definitely feels third-party, but its a comfortable controller to use for long periods of time. The D-pad feels nicer than the one on my Switch Pro Controller, and the joysticks are fluid. The L2/R2 buttons are mushy so the Pro controller definitely wins there, but overall its a good controller and I definitely would buy another one. Pros: - Button mapping supported (need to download the software from 8bitdos website) - Rechargeable (has a removable battery pack if youd rather use AA batteries) - Solid D-pad, smooth joysticks - Comfortable grip Cons: - Mushy L2/R2 buttons - Cant wake Switch using this controller

I really like the design of this controller. I never had an snes growing up but I figure this is what the snes upgraded to playstation would look like if that didnt fall through. It feels great and is very responsive, even on my phone. Wish it had iOS/iPadOS 13 support though. No issues with syncing and the free bag added was a nice touch to go with the 5% off coupon! Would buy again, if I didnt already also own the Switch Pro controller. Speaking of which, the SN30 Pro+ stays synced with my computer unlike the Switch Pro controller, which needs to be resynced every single time I use it. I walked away while playing a game, came back, turned the SN30 Pro+ back on and it just worked!

I bought this controller for myself after viewing multiple good reviews on YouTube. I wanted a wireless controller I could use to play Nintendo Switch games with my son. I can’t stand the joycons that come with the Switch! They’re so small and uncomfortable! This controller is modeled after the Super Nintendo controller with the addition of grips to hold on to that increase comfort. I’ve been able to play for many hours on a single charge. The only thing I haven’t liked so far is that it occasionally has some difficulty pairing with the Switch. Other than that it’s a great controller and I’d highly recommend it.

These are by far, the best third party controllers I use for (mainly) my Nintendo Switch, and my phone. It just sucks that one of the controllers I purchased back in December 2020 has already started to show some wear & tear. Ive attached a pic that shows one of the joysticks material peeling. Ive reached out to customer support and waiting to get a response from them :) Would still highly recommend these though!

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.

Purchased this controller to get away from my clunky PC/Android emulation setup (DS4Windows on PC, OTG cable for Android). Controller felt great in my hands and handled well aside from a bit of play in the Dpad. A month later started seeing left analog stick drift. I could work it out by rotating the stick a few times before use. As of yesterday the Dpad has become completely unusable with dpad rolling and constantly phantom inputting. I am a heavy user (everyday for 2-6 hours and easily 8+ on my days off) but my PS4 controller has been used the same for years and its just fine. I contacted support and was told they have no facilities in the US and Id have to send it to them in China to get it replaced. Unfortunately with the cost and current state of the world thats pretty much not happening. If you choose to buy this, it is a great design and really comfortable for long gaming sessions but given my experience I cant recommend it for any long term use.

I bought 3 of these controllers and they all have the same issues so Im not being biased. When the controller is actually connected to my switch its usually no problems. The problems start with how hard it is to try to pair them with the switch! Out of 10 times I only can connect with no issues 1 or 2 times at most. The rest of the times it is a constant pain to have to try and try again to connect the way it says in the manual. It takes as long as 20 - 25 minutes to finally connect a controller. We try various ways to try to connect the controls as well, not just by what we read in the manual and the same issue presents itself eventually. Battery life has been OK. When we do actually connect the controller to play, the play time can be from 1-3 hours with no issues and with battery still having a respectable amount left. Or so you think! When there is short game play we dont usually charge the controller but no matter how little we use it by the time we play again the following day, there is no battery left even though it is off. When the controller gets charged and then left off, and unused for more than 2 days, the battery is usually dead when we try to play with it. The quality of this controller I must say is a the best quality, second only to the Switch controllers sold by Nintendo themselves. I have not tried to use it with any of my other devices with Bluetooth so I will post an update soon.

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.
