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.

Why Steam Controller (2026) has no competition at $99 and what big reviewers simply don't get
8bitdo Pro 3 and Ultimate 2 satisfy all those requirements for less than that price. (Well, two of the macro buttons are on the shoulder and 2 are on the back, but I'm not sure how much we're splitting hairs here.)

Here's hoping for a Pro 3 3-mode for XBOX
But isn't the Pro 3 already 3-mode? It has 2.4ghz wifi, bluetooth, and is also capable wired. You can swap the buttons as well for Xbox layout or Switch layout. It has D-input, X-input, and S-input. IMO it's more Ultimate than the actual Ultimate line.

Coming from PS4 my whole life, should I get a GameSir or 8BitDo for PC? (NBA 2K player)
I have the Gamesir G7 Pro and 8bitdo Ultimate 2, 2C and Pro 3 Currently I mostly use the G7, but it's been modified. I really dislike the stock thumbsticks. The texture is harsh and irritates my thumbs so I replaced them. It's also on the heavier side and I ended up removing the rumble motors as I d

People don't know what the Steam Controller is
Main draw for me is not needing my mouse when using the PC on my TV, and not needing to make new controller bindings when I dock my Steam deck. I got an 8bitDo Pro 3 recently and love it, but I find that I still often need a mouse cursor at times to get around menus, but mainly there’s no way to tra

Any 8bitdo ultimates like the pro 3?
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

$99, no idea why anyone thought this would be $70. It's cheaper than other controllers that have less inputs and still use potentiometers.
Depends on the user. For gyro gamers if they wanted touch activated gyro the only options have been dualsense with conductive tape mod or alpakka. Alpakka runs over $100 with 3d printed parts while dualsense if you also want grip buttons runs $200. Lot of the controllers people point to haven't been

People don't know what the Steam Controller is
Honestly, the only comparable option to the Steam Controller here price wise, that does make it seem expensive is the insane value to features offerings from 8Bitdo in the Pro 3 and Ultimate 2. Aside from those comparisons, overall 100$ isn't too bad, I'll be getting one for sure, but it does feel l

8bitdo Pro 3, Playstation colouring
They made a Pro 3 in that limited edition GameCube orange, it's supposed to be only available direct but there are resellers even on Amazon (at full RRP). Still the same stick layout tho. There are other brands that make GameCube-like controllers but the quality and modern amenities often pale in co

Ultimate Software V2 won't detect my controller...
I think the pro3 will work, I have a pro 2 and it worked with the software. I think yours didn't because you got a wired version with less features. I actually hated using the 8bitdo software, I got tons more mileage out of the $20 red switch/switch2 controller from walmart that let you just hold a
