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

Recommendation for kids?

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

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.)

GameSir or 8bitdo for M1 Air

I own about 10 different 8bitdo products and all of them rock. Would definitely recommend the Pro 3 if that's in your budget but the pro 2 is great too. The Xbox affiliated 8bitdo controllers are good too and tend to be on sale/cheaper most of the time.

Steam Controller overpriced? Yeah nah.

I have a nice collection of 8bitdo so I agree with you there, however their Pro3 range is something like AUD$120. The Steam Controller is in the same ballpark.

Good dpad for 2d games

8BitDo Pro 3 is only £40 here in the UK, worth the extra how ever much it is in your country.
