The 8Bitdo Pro 2 controller is not only the best professional controller for the Nintendo Switch, it is also perhaps one of the best Bluetooth controllers for the Steam Deck, Windows, and mobile devices. If you’re looking for a rock-solid Bluetooth controller, you can currently pick up the 8Bitdo Pro 2 from Amazon for just $42.49 (down from $49.99), the lowest price we’ve seen for this great gamepad. But you should hurry to take advantage of this limited-time offer.
In addition to its wide spectrum of compatibility, the 8Bitdo Pro 2 is now one of the few Bluetooth controllers equipped with Hall Effect switches, which help reduce or eliminate stick drift (an issue that has plagued the Nintendo Switch since launch).
For those of us old enough to remember, the 8Bitdo Pro 2’s layout most closely resembles a classic SNES controller, albeit with a pair of analog sticks and some large side handles for improved ergonomics. The Pro 2 features the same number of inputs as today’s controllers, all of which can be remapped to different profiles via the 8Bitdo Ultimate app on your PC or mobile device.
