Overview

The 8BitDo Pro 2 is an updated version of the beloved Pro 2 series, now featuring Hall Effect joysticks for enhanced durability and precision. This wireless controller is compatible with a wide range of platforms: Nintendo Switch, Windows PC, Android, Steam Deck, Apple devices (macOS, iOS, tvOS), and even Raspberry Pi. It retains the classic SNES-inspired layout while adding upgraded grips, a 4-way mode switch, and two programmable back buttons. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 20 hours of playtime, and charging is via USB-C.

Things to Consider

  • It lacks HD Rumble (only standard rumble vibration). If you're used to the Switch Pro Controller's haptics, you may notice the difference. - The back buttons are positioned slightly high; some users may need a short adjustment period. - The battery is integrated and not user-replaceable, so long-term battery degradation is a factor.
