It supports Bluetooth 4.0 on all compatible devices, as well as a wired mode, if you prefer.ĨBitDo has nearly perfected the modern D-pad, reproducing something that feels like the best version of what appeared on the SNES controller while maintaining the original size, shape, and feel. The major difference is that the stems are a bit straighter on the 8BitDo, while the DualShock 4 extends at more of an angle.Īs far as compatibility goes, the Pro 2 can be used with Nintendo Switch, Windows PCs, macOS computers, Android smartphones and tablets, and Raspberry Pi. Even the “enhanced grip” on the back of both controllers feels the same. It’s very comparable to PlayStation’s DualShock 4 controller in both size and weight – with the Pro 2 weighing just 18 grams more than Sony’s controller.
The controller has great ergonomics, so it feels comfortable to hold.
Drawing inspiration from the SNES controller, the 8BitDo Pro 2 has an immediate nostalgic feel, albeit with contemporary features like dual analog sticks, vibration, and more.
