I've been using the 8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth Controller for my Switch, and overall it's been a great controller. The TMR joysticks feel smooth and accurate, the buttons are responsive, and the swappable ABXY buttons are a nice touch for switching between different gaming platforms. One of the standout features is the macro functionality. It's easy to create and assign macros, which can be really useful depending on the game you're playing. The software can be a little buggy at times, but it's still easy enough to use and program the controller once you spend a few minutes with it. I also like how versatile the controller is. Besides working great on the Switch, it's compatible with PC and several other platforms, making it a good all-around controller if you play on multiple systems. The build quality feels solid, battery life has been good, and the customization options are impressive for the price. Overall, despite the occasional software hiccup, the controller offers excellent value, great features, and broad compatibility. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a customizable controller for Switch, PC, and other supported platforms.

This is my favorite third-party controller, by far. It's comfortable, durable, and compatible with every device in my house except a PS5. I have one simultaneously paired with a PC using the dongle-in-dock, Steam Machine using Bluetooth for Steam Input, and a Switch 2. The D-pad has a great action between clicky and squishy. I greatly prefer this controller's PlayStation-style joystick layout and SNES-style buttons, as opposed to Xbox-style. Even gyro works great with Switch 2 and Steam Input, a common problem with third-party controllers. In the interest of improving 8bitdo products, I do have two complaints: 1. Rumble is really bad compared to first-party Nintendo controllers. Please improve it. 2. The firmware update software is confusing. This controller requires "Ultimate Software V2" with the dongle and controller connected to USB simultaneously, but I'm not sure how they intended for me to discover that. These are both minor in comparison to other third-party controllers I've tried.

Have wanted a controller with the dpad in the main position (PS layout) for a while that has a good dpad. I can live with either position for the sticks, it's just the dpad I care more about the position of. Others are either really expensive swappable ones or just don't have a great dpad or bad latency (Tarantula pro). This is finally just what I wanted. I love this controller. I bought a wired pro 2 g classic before and the dpad just sucked. Maybe it was a bad one. But I haven't bought another 8bitdo controller since because I didn't trust their ability to make a good dpad. But this one is perfect. Easy to press down but still won't actuate any direction that you don't want. Perfectly precise and you can feel every direction that gets pressed, and a very quiet click. It still does the thing of being able to press down the middle of the dpad and press down all of the directions at once but it doesn't actually matter in this case. Gave it a try for platforming (Celeste) and fighting (Mortal Kombat 1). Flawless in both cases. Good amount of extra buttons, triggers swappable to analog or digital clicks, swappable face buttons that are very secure. Joysticks center perfectly and have very low deadzone (could use a bit more tension though). Unable to detect any latency from just looking at screen and pressing buttons (both from 2.4ghz on pc and bluetooth on switch 2). This is basically my dream controller. This is now the controller I will use for absolutely everything. Yes, the face buttons are clackety and kinda loud. I don't care, you might. And it would be nice if it woke the switch 2 but it's not enough to make me feel negatively in any way.

Pros: I love the aesthetic and the d-pad (more clicky, less play/wiggle in the housing), the overall build quality, the dock+dongle thing is as nice as it is with the Ultimate controllers I have, and the software does just as good of a job of programming your button customizations as with the Ultimate. The adjustable triggers are great, again, just like Ultimate. The TMR sticks remain the biggest reason why I own so many 8Bitdo controllers for my Switch 2 and none of the office Pro controllers. Cons: 1) By far the biggest issue for me are the face buttons - I’ve decided that I really just don’t like them. They’re very noisy - not in a good, clicky mechanical way… in that sorta hollow, plasticy, clacking sort of way? The bigger issue is that they just don’t feel consistent, like sometimes I’ll press them and theres maybe a bit more of a resistance or different feel in how the button springs back, and seems like it might be based on where exactly you press the button (distance from the center). I don’t own the previous models, so I can’t say if this is a new thing or not. I suspected that it might be because of the removable design of the buttons resulting in a design that doesn’t feel as good, but I own Gulikit controllers with swappable buttons and they feel awesome compared to these. Another thing I don’t like about the face buttons is that they have very flat tops. I’m not taking off anything for this, because I was aware that they were flat beforehand, but wasn’t expecting zero roundedness to the edges at all. After a race on Mario Kart, I have an indentation on my thumb from that takes about 5mins to fully go away (never a problem with the Ultimate or Dualshock controllers I normally use, even the little joycon buttons barely leave a mark compared to these. I know there are ways to remedy this (mapping accelerate to a shoulder/back button or using the auto accelerate in-game option), but they’re not ideal for people who want a classic controller experience (what should be this products target market). 2) The rumble kinda sucks. I knew it wouldn’t be like the HD rumble of official controllers, but damn. I turned it down in the software, and it’s much less annoying (it’s waaaay too much by default) but you really do kinda lose something by not having that feedback. Verdict: This controller should have been a home run, but the mentioned cons really hold it back from perfection. If you’re going to be playing a lot of button mashing games (fighting games, mario party mini games, etc), I think you’d find the buttons on the Ultimate controller (or others much better. Still, if you’re going to be playing retro games like side scrollers or slower games like JRPGs, or, in my case, mostly tetris, it’ll be a pretty good choice because of the pretty awesome d-pad and overall layout. I think the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth is a better buy for most people. If you prefer this overall controller shape, one of Sony’s pro controllers paired with the 8bitdo controller adapter may be a more comfortable (though more expensive) option to consider. Side notes: This controller won’t wake your console (like most 3rd party) and I don’t think it has amiibo support, but those were non-issues for me. Similarly, there’s no gamechat button (though you could remap the screenshot button or something to function like one in the system settings) or headphone jack.

By FAR, the best 8BitDo controller I've used. The buttons feel intuitive and responsive, the joysticks are the perfect sensitivity for gaming, the ergonomics feel smooth and comfortable, the macro & turbo features from the software work wonderfully, the GameCube-styled colors are nostalgic and sleek, and the price for what it provides is more than worth it. Even the low-brightness lights feel more accommodating. Bottom line, BUY this controller. It's more than recommended.

I just got this today, I have been using it all day and I absolutely love it. I mainly game on my pc, steam deck, and switch. This controller easily connects to all 3. I no longer need a different controller for each system. Connecting them was easy, I haven't had any connection issues. I like the feel, I like using a ps4 controller. I like that I can swap the buttons, I love that it comes with it's charging dock. I plan to get the other 2 colors. Hopefully they would release more colors, especially a Sakura pink.

I'll save you time, Go buy the 8Bitdo Pro 2. When I first learned about the Pro 3, I was excited because I personally hate controllers with Xbox analog layout. I was never buying the so called ultimate controller. However seeting 8Bitdo make this one made me think they're listening to people like myself who LOVES the Pro 2 controller. To date it's my favorite controller ever made. It takes the good aspect I liked about Xbox (removable batteries), marries them to the PlayStation style grip and while having super NES buttons. It's the controller that feels perfect in my hands:-) So why am I disappointed with the Pro 3. For one, They sealed the battery in. I don't care about it having a chargeable dock. Sometimes I'm not able to charge it everyday meaning I'll have to buy two if I didn't already have my Pro 2. I'm aware this may not be a problem for everyone, but sealing in the battery is a problem for me. Second. It's SO LOUD! Russ from Retro game corp Tried to warn us it's loader than the Pro 2, but Man... I didn't realize just how loud it is. I have to wear headphones to block out the obnoxious clickey sounds. I feel so self-conscious about my controller when playing multiplayer games to the point that I go back to the 8-bit dough Pro 2 when plan online. Third, for some stupid reason they made the d-pad just as clicky. Why!?! The Pro 2 D-pad was JUST FINE! why break something that wasn't broken??? I wanted to love this controller. I like the concept of switching the button. (I have to mod games to add PlayStation icons because I get confused with Xbox icons. Especially when I see Switch ones on the controller) I also bought it to show 8Bitdo that there are people who still love the Pro line. However they dropped the ball hard with this one:-(

I've always been a Playstation controller fan over the Xbox. I play a lot of indie games and just cannot fathom playing a 2D game with an analog stick. I've has the Pro 1, which I used on my Switch. I've had the pro 2, which I use with my MISTER. I've been using the PS5 controller on my PC for 3 years now, and I'm finally sick of the battery life. So I bought the 8Bitdo Pro 3. This may be my favorite controller of all time. The charging dock is fantastic. I've always felt 2.4ghz is superior to bluetooth because you never have to pair, just plug in the dongle and go. Zero connection issues with 2.4ghz. The coolest thing is the trigger toggle. I've always felt like since the PS3, the controllers want to push themselves out of my hands. The PS4 controller was the worst with this. Well, switching the triggers to button mode instead of trigger mode solves this for me. Especially in 2D indie games that use the triggers as regular inputs, the locking button mode feels so much better. Also the magnetic buttons have a surprise feature: If you're like me, and get to a part in a game where you accidentally keep mashing an unwanted button, just pop that button off till you're past that part. They come off with just a well inserted fingernail. Lack of a touchpad hasn't bothered me because most Sony ported games just use the touch pad as additional buttons. I use steam's built in button mapping to map those functions to the paddles. The D pad is pretty solid. I got through "The Messenger" and "Axiom Verge" perfectly fine with it, no complaints.
