My Pro 3 Green button disintegrated

Recently got a Pro 3, which is my first 8BitDo controller. I absolutely love it, but like a few people on here already know, the green "A" button just disintegrated out of nowhere.

I already reached out to 8BitDo for a replacement and have the button with the printed A on temporarily. Just intere

Is it worth it to upgrade from the pro controller 1 to the pro controller 2 with my switch 2?

Because OG pro controller doesn’t support Bluetooth low energy protocol. 8Bitdo Pro 3 have newer bluetooth chipset.

Leaked images of Xbox Elite 3 controller

I recently bought an 8BitDo Pro 3 and that thing is so freaking good. TMR sticks, a bunch of extra buttons, multiple profiles, swappable ABXY buttons, a nice dock. And all that for just 60€.

Into the Pro 3 boat now :D

This thing is amazing. The micro switches, charging dock, wake to shake function (working on sw2!). The only thing I am not used to, but I think will get better with time, is the back pedals, I accidentally press them.

Pro 3 fell from couch, face buttons flew right off

I know people have been concerned about how well the magnetic face buttons in the pro 3 would be at staying in and it just happened to me. Fell off the arm rest of my couch and the buttons all popped off and were found about a foot from the controller. Thankfully no damage to the buttons or the cont

Steam Controller: The Ars Technica review | Valve’s new hardware is solid but might not justify its $99 price.

Comparing it with the 8bitdo Pro 3, the Steam Controller does not sound like a good value. The 8bitdo Pro 3 is like $58 all the time on Amazon but $50 or less with discounts on AliExpress. Things it has over the Steam Controller: Easily swappable buttons A little lever that turns the analog triggers

Is it worth it to upgrade from the pro controller 1 to the pro controller 2 with my switch 2?

Which is especially sad since third party controllers like the 8Bitdo Pro 3 can do this. I am sure this is something that Nintendo deliberately didn't implement / didn't update on the OG pro controller.
