Pro 3

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

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.

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

There are 2 or 3 controllers with very similar names. All of them can use on-board features to manage the extra buttons, but some can also access Steam Input, so you can remap the extra buttons to any keyboard button too. This controller, the Ultimate C2 (which is a variant of the Ultimate 2 Bluetoo

8bitdo has pretty affordable controllers. the ultimate 2c bluetooth controllers work pretty well, aren't that expensive, and feel comfortable (though they might be too big for kids' hands? not sure). they also have more expensive and full featured controllers like the pro3, but if you're getting one

They also work perfectly on Linux, both wired and via Bluetooth.Only downside is that they do not come with Playstatio

I use the official dock with my living room TV all the time. I have a 8bitdo pro3 hooked up to the dock so I just dock the console, undock the controller, and I'm good to go. I always forget to update the controller profile on the emulator before docking it but that's my fault. I use this setup near

Their lineup is incredibly complex and confusing. Everything has the same name but with different compatibilities. The wireless ones often have Bluetooth, and the Bluetooth ones also have 2.4Ghz, but they are locked to different protocols. It’s like nobody at 8bitdo is aware what other people are do

I use the 8BitDo Pro 3 for when I hook up my Retroid to my TV, and also for game streaming from my PC to my TV using Apollo/Artemis. I like the swappable buttons on the face of it becuase Steam and the games on PC always reverse the buttons to what the controller shows. RGC did a video on it. I've a
