One thing I've noticed is that when using the short throw trigger switch, there is significantly less travel when compared to the Ultimate 2. For games that don't require the analog input, having that near instant click is fantastic.
So, the main reason why I like them is because of the symmetrical layout, similar to what we've seen on every single Sony PlayStation controller (joysticks are next to each other, rather than being offset like on Xbox or Nintendo). The difference between the 8BitDo Pro 3 and any PlayStation controller is that the Pro 3 has a hybrid membrane/mechanical system. It's clicky like the newer Xbox controllers (Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X), but it has a little membrane feel to it so it's not as loud or pronounced.
I've owned every generation of PlayStation controller and while PS4/PS5 are tied for the best Sony controller, the 8BitDo Pro 3 beats them out for the reasons below:
I bought most of mine during Prime Days where Amazon offers an additional discount on Amazon Resale products and just buy "Used - Like New", so they varied around $30-$40 and I've been very happy with all of mine.
