The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 controller for Nintendo Switch 2 is praised for its excellent feel and ergonomic design, making it an appealing option at $60. The 8BitDo Pro 3 controller, priced at $70, offers advanced features such as swappable button layouts, making it suitable for both Switch and PC gaming. Its design combines elements from both modern and retro controllers, appealing to nostalgic gamers. However, limitations exist, such as the inability to wake the Switch 2 from sleep. Overall, the controllers provide superior comfort and responsiveness, elevating the gaming experience.
The 8BitDo Pro 3 controller is great for Switch or PC, and it's one of the few you can change the button layout for your preferred system.
As much as I may enjoy the modern PS5 DualSense controller, I wonder what could have been if Sony had kept iterating on its older DualShock design.
8BitDo's Pro 3 tells us there was so much more to give. The peripheral maker's Pro series controllers bear a look that somehow combines the DualShock's thumbstick layout with an old-school, flat-bodied SNES gamepad.
If its squishy start and select buttons don't spark nostalgia, I don't know what would. The 8BitDo Pro 3 has twin arms that fit adult-sized hands better than any old PlayStation controller.
