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

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.

Ultimate 2C sticks are rough and getting stuck
the 2C is actually not very good quality, I love other 8bitdo stuff like the pro 3 but the 2C is cheaply made because it's priced so low

Symmetrical controller with macro possibility
There's calibration software for it on their website, and they're supposed to be releasing a more in depth software version for it specifically soon. You can also do macros easily, which the OP was interested in. Never had any quality issues whatsoever myself. By all means suggest some better symmet

Vader 5 Pro V1 and V2, same batch date
This is ridiculous. 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 and Pro 3, Mobapad Huben 2 and Chitu 2, Gamesir G7 Pro, Gulikit TT Max, now this. You have to go through 2 or 3 replacements and wait for later batches to get at least something that is not flawed from the start. To be fair sooner or later that should've been ha

8bitdo Pro 3, Playstation colouring
The 8BitDo Pro design and layout (aside having different letters than the classic PS ones) is the same as the DS PS4/5 controllers.. the only big difference i'd say is the DualSense does feel a bit higher quality (at least from my 8bitdo Pro 2) and the mechanical triggers (especially with PS titles

Wha is the biggest difference between these two controllers?
I purchased the new 8bitdo pro 3 and seems like a great controller, but I just cannot get the software… I've tried plugging in to my phone, my iPad and my Mac and the software just won't recognize the controller… Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've tried putting in in all three settings.

PlayStation controller vs Xbox controller?
if you are used to the xbox layout and plays on pc, there's literally zero reasons to switch 1st: there are way better options of controllers for pc that are not official xbox and playstation controllers 2nd: the playstation layout is basically dying, only sony uses it and for pc there's one or two
