8bitdo pro 3 trigger quality

I was in the middle of playing a game once I heard something drop to the floor and realized the right trigger had fallen off. I liked this controller but this kind of quality seems very low. Never had this happen for any of my controllers. Is this common or am I the first one managed to do this :D

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

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

What if Logitech actually made a real gamepad in 2026?

I own a lot of 8bitdo products but they haven't been as good lately imo, i have the pro 3 and all of the standard caps broke down, there's also some minor bugs on controller wakeup, etc.

8Bitdo gamepad nasıl?

8Bitdo Pro 2 kullanıcısıyım. Gayet kaliteli kollar üretiyorlar. Hele Pro 3 ve Ultimate 2 gibi dehşet kollar da üretiyorlar. Yani basitçe hiçbir sıkıntı çekmeyeceksin.

What controller on Amazon can I get that will work with PCSX2? (Reading reviews it seems like quite a few don't work or dont work well with PCSX2)

I use the 8bitdo pro2, it's fantastic. The pro3 would probably work since it's a very similar design.

Pro 3 full button replacement

Yes, I've done exactly this. I swapped my Pro 3 to original SNES buttons from an OEM controller. And, in the process, I also put in a spare Pro 2 membrane purchased from 8BitDo. Overall, I'm quite happy with the result: I prefer unlabeled buttons for controllers I use on a variety of platforms. I pr
