FYI, this model comes with a rechargeable battery pack that you can charge via USB-C directly through the controller. If for some reason you aren't a fan, you can also pop in your own AA batteries.

Solid price for a solid controller. Personally, I'm still waiting for a deal on the Pro 3 again.

Dpad is better on this one. Pro 3 Dpad was absolute hell on retro games. Not usable with Street Fighter 2 or any SNK fighter.

The Pro 3 feels great to me, but admittedly I don't play any 2D fighters. It was perfect for Prince of Persia Lost Crown and it works well with platforming games too (been playing IGTAP lately).

I have an ALPS Pro controller, but I'm guessing that's the same dpad as this?

Yeh, The PRO 3 is fine for anything else! I just bought it at the time for SNES games on my MiSTER FPGA and Neo Geo and Capcom fighting games were absolutely hell with that dpad. Just a different tech, not a fan of the clicky, the rubber membrane is so much better for retro. Yeh guessing that is the case for the alps.

I recommend any of the ones with the dock charger. Love that thing.

Is firmware update needed for this to turn on and off a Switch 2?

This is the Pro 2, it cannot wake either Switch console.

Source: https://support.8bitdo.com/faq/pro2.html

Quote from 8bitdo :
Does this controller have Screenshot, Home and Turbo buttons when connected to Switch? Can I also wake up my Switch with it? Additionally, does it have NFC function?

When connected to Switch, you can find on this controller:
  • A. Screenshot = STAR button
  • B. Home button = Logo button
  • Turbo function can be set on its Ultimate Software,
  • and NFC functions are not applicable here.
You can not wake up your Switch wirelessly with this controller.

Bought one of these over a year ago during Prime Day last year, and to me, it feels like a DS4 controller, but more ergonomic since it does a better job conforming to your hands w/ the way the handles are shaped.
