8Bitdo Pro 2 Controller
Great controller for PC and Switch. Especially handy if you prefer the Nintendo ABXY layout as you can save upto 3 button layout profiles on PC and swap between them with a press of a button
Available in Grey or G Classic (edit: main links updated)
$62.10 + Delivery or free C&C if your local EB Games has stock.
eBay Plus members can get it at $60.72 + free express post.
Good if you don’t have eBay plus or you want the black one
Awesome, purchased. Much prefer Amazon.
Great deal. But make sure you will use it a lot. I sold mine recently, only because I have bought too many Xbox controllers for Xbox PC and mobile phone. switch is collecting dust ( waiting for switch exclusives). I do have pro controller for switch. Not much use of the 8bitdo.
But I still recommend this if you need a controller for switch/PC/mobile
I find it so cool that you can use the same controller for both PC and Switch and with no hassle when swapping. No re-syncing or controller issues on either platform, just flick the switch on the controller and it just works.
The ability to change the button layout on PC is also amazing as I prefer the Nintendo layout rather than Xbox.
Agreed, it is really easy to use. For layout, it's not an issue, remapping work fine. I now have 2 Xbox controllers for Xbox, 1 Xbox controller for mobile/PC play cloud game, and pro controller for switch. It's a waste, yes, but since they are all opened, I have to use them. There is still another Xbox controller sealed on my shelf. Stupidly buying too many controllers. Lol
Yup, it's my current favourite controller for this reason if nothing else.
Technically it's my main - and only - Switch controller I have other than the stock joypads, so it's cool to just be able to toggle it back and forth.
About my only complaint is that you can't check the battery on PC, only on the switch pad menu. But it's really not that big of a deal and this thing seems to last for days on end.
big fan of the controller, installed the app on pc and tweaked the triggers, now its just plug n play/blutooth
would i be able to use this with the tello app on my phone?
how comfortable is this compared to the other controllers? been looking for a pc controller so i can play elden ring :/
just check on youtube people are raving about this one
My 6yo plays a lot of games on the Android tablet as well as xbox cloud, would this be an overkill/expensive option or are there cheaper Bluetooth controllers out there?
What game? I mean this would be overkill/not really useful if he only play solitaire / fps.
I use it on my phone to play Xbox cloud, with the 8bitdo mobile clip, it works perfectly. Definitely worth it. Be aware that the dapd is located different from Xbox/switch pro controller. Will be no problem for ps user, need some time to get use to it for Xbox player.
I successfully switch between a Switch Pro controller and a PS5 controller on a regular basis - it's not that difficult to get used to.
i did not say it's difficult, just take some time to get use to.
There aren't really cheaper bluetooth options that I've seen on decent controllers, but whether it's overkill to get a $60 controller for a 6 year old is a question you'll need to ask yourself. They do switch very nicely between different Bluetooth modes which is nice.
Depending on what kinds of things they play, the zero 2 might be cheaper and easier to use alternative - Only if they mostly play pretty simple games though.
