Decent price for a nice controller. I'll be shelling out full price for the Pro 3 that releases next month though.

I had been eyeing the transparent ones, but they never go on sale. This seems like a good price for the pro 2.

As much as I want this, the Pro 3 hits so much harder

Great price. Only downside to the black one you can't view the letters on the 4 buttons which is annoying. But controller is great.

That's actually the reason why I got the black and transparent purple ones, they're being used across several platforms, so seeing those letters stick out when they're almost never correct is a negative for me.

Pro 3 may have better hardware. Its lack of native XInput mode over Bluetooth connection is a step back from Pro 2.

I got this on Prime Day for $39.99. I've used it for a couple weeks and noticed my hands hurt if I end up playing for longer than 30 minutes, which is pretty often. I was using a Dualshock 4 controller primarily before this. One time after my hands got tired I immediately swapped over to my Dualshock and I was able to "soldier on" with more gaming. The handles on these are angled almost directly to my body, so when holding, my wrists are bent. I would call the Dualshock "ergonomic" by any means, but if you picture your hands typing straight on a keyboard vs using an ergonomic, that is what I'm talking about. I'm conflicted returning this even though I've used it. This version shows up as "frequently returned". I assumed it was with people thinking they got the wrong version - non hall effect. I was able to verify that mine was the hall effect, so assumed I wouldn't have any issues. I love all the features that this controller has, but I can't justify using it if it cause me pain.

Anyone else have experience like this going from other controllers to this one?

Can the buttons be physically swapped to xbox layout? I don't own a switch and only want it for Windows 10 & 11 on Bluetooth.

EDIT: Seems like you can but need to buy the buttons...dam I wished it had a version with the xbox layout buttons installed.

Fantastic controller. Very comfortable to use, dpad is great for 2D games, and this model comes with a rechargeable AND removable battery (so you can swap in your own AAs when the rechargeable pack dies). Good support from 8bitdo too. They provided a firmware update to make it compatible with Switch 2 (still doesn't wake the console from sleep though...).

Gray edition was $25 last November at Best Buy (I bought two). Unless you need this specific controller now, I would recommend waiting especially with the Pro 3 releasing in a few weeks.

Can this wake the Switch 2? Because Nintendo seems to have locked that feature behind a Switch 2 controller paywall.

It does not, even after the latest firmware update.

I'm guessing Nintendo changed the wake from sleep command on Switch 2 to force it to only work on Switch 2 devices (Switch 2 joycons, Switch 2 pro controller, etc). All other inputs remain the same, which is why Switch 1 controllers still work.

It may be possible in the future with newer firmware updates, but it will likely lock the controller to a specific platform (IE: Only wakes Switch 2, doesn't work on Switch 1 unless you revert the firmware). This is all speculation, but I don't doubt the possibility, especially once third party Switch 2 Pro controllers hit the market.
