The 8BitDo Pro 2 adds even more 'Pro' features compared to the SN30 Pro+. But is this $50 controller the best option for PC gaming? In this video Adam unboxes the Pro 2, compares it to the SN30 Pro+, and talks about his time with the controller.

@@alexhandzhiev i agree, i've had to order a few things for my pro 2 which are available on their website for cheap, back then there wasn't replacement parts anywhere last week my 8bitdo wireless receiver stopped working after a fall, i opened it up to check the PCB and there was 1 resistor missing i sent them an email with photos asking if they could tell me the value of the resistor that i needed they replied saying they couldn't tell me but they would replace it if i had a receipt for it which i don't sadly, but they are willing to give me a new one even though i said it broke due to a fall and i even opened it myself, which would void any warranty in the world i'm starting to love this company, pro consumer to the end

8bitdo is 100% the best 3rd party controller company and in a few years I can see them becoming a big company and maybe doing more than just controllers I have the SN30 Pro, I wanna also get an SF30 Pro, and eventually the Grey and Gameboy versions of this to have a nice selection between them as well as enough for multi-player games

​@@karl3168 Because the playstation controllers (Dualshock and Dualsense) aren't natively supported in Windows ? Since they're not X-input controllers, most games will not work with them out of the box. You're going to have to configure the PS controllers manually through 3rd party apps like Steam or DS4Windows. Which works pretty well once it's all set and done but it is a pain in the ass to set up at first. The 8bitdo on the other hand supports X-input out of the box, which means any PC game with controller support will recognize it as an "Xbox" controller and will work straight away. I hope that helps.

Honestly, for nintendo consoles or PC gaming, I would only recommend 8BitDo controllers. Not only does every controller I purchase from them work perfectly and hold a charge for a super long time, but the overall quality of all their products are great. Intuitive design as well and almost all of them have USB-Type C connections. Even their packaging is great, minimal and not wasteful. I just pre-ordered this controller so I have a backup for the Pro+ I already own. Really awesome company and I'm glad they keep making these awesome controller that I think are priced really affordably. As a side note, I'd love a Pro+ that was wired and they could make them cheaper to sell, bet those would be really popular.

They're awesome, but keep in mind that for Switch players who don't need the underside buttons and different profiles, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller also has really great build quality, connects much faster, will wake up the Switch with the home button, and has NFC for Amiibo, as well as HD Rumble. It also has better feeling trigger buttons

When reviewing tech; it is very important to mentioning any features not shared, or dropped, when comparing models. Don't just talk about what got enhanced, unless your looking to be ignored. People find it very suspicious that no youtuber covering the '"pro 2" is mentioning the lack of concave X & Y buttons.

One of the biggest videos on the controller, they're definitely not being ignored, ya grump. I however did mention the lack of concave buttons on my review, but almost omitted it sine its such a small detail and only because it was a specific feature of the SN Edition and there is no SN Edition of the Pro 2 at least not right now. People aren't finding it suspicious. You're just being dramatic.

I have rear left for mount and rear right for physick flask. I really hope it has good durability too, time will tell.

Question, i've been trying to play a game on steam with my sister and so i bought two pro2 controllers, I managed to get one controller to function through the usb in game but the second controller connects through usb too and lit up as player 2 (second from the left lit up), but could not join in as player 2. FYI the game is called "Warriors Orochi 4" i tried bluetooth connection with both controllers which ended in successful pairing but they're both player 1, is there a way to switch a controller to player 2? they're both lit up on the furthest left.

It camer with a square gate by default so I replaced that with a cheap octagonal gate, other than that it was perfect though. *edit* realized I also have their switch lite controller. Great D-pad controller for PC using the Xinput mode. Also great for indie games on switch of course.

I have the Plus, and I simply had to upgrade, well, I'll still keep my plus, but I got the black version this time. Amazing pads this brand makes, they're simply the best next to Brook (though Brook does converters, their converters are must haves for old systems!) Best thing about this one is that the controller legend is on the buttons their selves rather than on the pad it self, so I will swap the buttons to make it non-Nintendo (I always use every other systems legends for their buttons.)

This is one of the controllers which I would be interested in if they can be used wired too (and if it works fine on Linux because that is what I use for gaming).

Just got the Pro 2 the other week and I game on my pad, Switch and PC. This controller can not be beat, especially for this price. My one concern is that the little switch on the back will break soon because I use it so much switching between platforms. Might have to get another one just to reduce the wear and tear.

@@gregthesplintercell I'm not very sensitive to lags like some people, so if it does lag, I can't tell. But I can say that it is the same as an Xbox One controller, the other controller that I use on my PC.

Hey man, i'm looking to buy one of these Pro 2 controllers for wireless PC gaming. I just wanted to ask about the durability of these controllers. My previous controller (Logitech F710) fell apart after only 1 year of use. Stick drift, L3 and R3 buttons stuck etc.. Do you think the 8bitdo Pro 2 is durable enough or should i just pay the difference and get a 9th gen Xbox controller ?

A normal switch pro controller is way more comfortable. This controller responds correctly in my experience, but isn’t designed for a normal-handed person. Doesn’t matter if you can play claw or other techniques.

Going to have to get one of these, my ipega 9037 broke randomly one day, just quit working after a few minutes of use, battery voltage is fine tested another battery as well and my ole 8bitdo zero still works but I need something that can handle gamecube inputs for dolphin on android, looks like this will be a more reliable option although the larger face buttons of the Pro+ sounds better to me.

It looks like the Pro2 buttons are all convex, while the pro+ are convex(A&B) and concave(X&Y). Is that the case?

@JoMamma42 3 жыл бұрын
On the Pro+ that varies by color, on the Pro 2 they’re all convex on all controller colors. Also, Pro+ has the wide SNES diamond for the face buttons and the Pro 2 is closer to the modern Xbox or PlayStation diamond.

Yeah. I’m a disabled gamer and I can’t buy a PS5 until they allow third party controllers with back buttons to work. Sony is AWFUL with accessibility support. You can turn off Dual Sense system wide, so why not allow third party PS4 controllers to work??? Lol.

You can even swap the Dpad and sticks! So you can play Links Awakening with the dPad since Nintendo was stupid and didn't make that an option. However, you cannot change the trigger sensitivity.
