Comment on 8BitDo Has Announced The Successor To Its Ultimate Wireless Controller | Time Extension

I have been nothing but impressed with my 8BitDo Pro 2.
Hall effect sticks and battery life which puts Dual Shocks and XB controllers to absolute shame. Cheaper, too.
Works great with Linux.

Same here except I have the ultimate pro wireless v1 its been easily the best controller I’ve ever owned, the one downside for me is that I’m not a huge fan of non-removable batteries but considering how good the rest of the controller is, I’ll give it a concession on that. Additionally I personally prefer snappy tactile D pads over the mushy membrane one they went for but again, it’s something I don’t mind terribly, just personal preferance.
I actually recommended an 8bitdo wired controller to a colleague because they had bought 3 turtle beach Xbox controllers in the last year because each ended up with severe stick drift and customer support shafted them. So far as I know he’s used it non-stop for about a year and a half now with zero problems and he told me before how good a controller it is.

I’ve had the same issues with drift on console controllers. Even first party ones. Just really shoddy, IMHO.
Incidentally, the Pro 2 has a removable rechargeable battery.
