Best Controller for Steam If You're Used to PS Controllers
This is the ideal controller for games on Steam if you're used to Playstation layout controllers. Steam doesn't like to use button indicators for Playstation pads (O, [], X, T) but is almost universally compatible with XBOX pad button indicators, so, often in Steam with a PS controller you will have to "just remember" which game indicator maps to which button on your pad, which is awkward and hurts your experience. This pad gives you the best of both worlds, with the XBOX button labels, but PS dpad and button placement, and it's a high quality controller at that.I run mine on Steam on Linux and just use the games' built in controller support and it all works flawlessly with no adjustments.

Buena alternativa al mando de PS4
Súper bueno y cómodo, lo compré para jugar rocket league (usaba un mando de ps4 y quería algo parecido pero que los joisticks no se malograran rápido) y la verdad me acostumbre al control en nada, es un poco distinto pero si vienes de un mando de ps4 y quieres la misma sensación de agarre este control va de maravilla

Something worth notating
For starters, I've had this controller a year now, zero drops with moderately regular play time. It's durability has held out like a champ, the AXYB buttons are a little weird to get used to if you're accustomed to the standard box controllers, but it isn't a deal breaker whatsoever [I could be biased I grew up with PS controllers, still for me it works just fine]Now, regarding something beyond my range of ability to troubleshoot , I have noticed a somewhat frequent occurrence that in some cases I've found during online play to be significantly detrimental.If you are a competitive or multiplayer game enthusiast, I ask you take this into consideration.I've found while in a dormant state, whilst playing obviously, the controller will sometimes ... lose its connection to the system. It could be the wire port on my Xbox itself, maybe the plug that connects the controller to it, or it could even be way close to the wiring that actually links to the controller itself .. I'm at a little bit of a loss with it, it's only presented me with one kinda frustrating experience when I was playing Warriors Orochi 4, for some reason my controller would give the alert it lost connection [only a brief moment ; you just tap A to clear it..] then subsequently maybe the online features of this game have awkward capabilities but I just remember each time it happening my friend and I losing our progress through our mission , no matter where it occurred, as I can't stress enough it is a purely random occurrence. Luckily they were understanding but still it ,ade me feel pretty inconvenient especially considering they were doing most of the work and I was trying to learn and help them along the way...The only other game I could say I've had trouble with is probably World of Tanks as well. If you're in a shoot out, good luck , or in the very least hope you had your auto-tread on because YOUR MACHINE WILL REALISTICALLY JAM, DON'T CLAIM YOU WEREN'T ADVISED.Apologies for sudden spike of intensity, I do hope someone looking for a *budget controller* finds this of suitable aid. Mind you , all the jazz aside, I do love this thing. Maybe I'm just a bit of a glutton for realities punishment, perhaps I just hate dishing out money for batteries, which is why I also have rechargeable ones... For my console exclusive faulty-RB-controller ;)Regardless,Still 4 out of 5 controller rating because a year later- it still works- haven't had to buy batteries[booyah]- it's compact and dynamic by switching up the usualall this ultimately makes the purpose that I purchased this 8bit Do controller to be fulfilled.I recommend it as an alternative to maybe offer for younger players, maybe even just potentially accident prone ones ... Something to consider 🤟Take care, be well, stay safe

Great for Call of Duty or any FPS games
Love this controller for Call of Duty. I play right hand claw with the PS4 controller, have so for many years and was bummed that PlayStation discontinued production. I recently made the switch to the 8bitdo Xbox version and found this controller better in every way for cheaper. The buttons and thumbsticks are so precise and feel amazing. The plub-n-play USB worked first try. I highly recommend this controller if you are used to the PS4 controller and want something similar that's better quality for less the price.

Mostly good, but evidently susceptible to breaking easily?
I mostly have good things to say about the controller, but there are also a few problems.I've had the 8bitdo Pro 2 controller for nearly 6 months, and I use it roughly every other day for regular gaming and during livestreams, so it gets about 16-20 hours of use per week.It's a great design, closely resembling the PS4's Dualshock controller design rather than the poor design Microsoft chose for the Xbox controllers. For anybody that hasn't had the experience using both, it's hard to explain without writing at least a couple hundred words, but it's abundantly obvious that Microsoft put the left stick in the wrong place. Sony had it right to begin with, and MS should have copied the layout. But I digress....The buttons, triggers, and sticks feel pretty great, and there's a nice feedback to each. The hall effect sticks, in particular, have a nice responsiveness, and are immediately better than the low-budget sticks used in the standard series S/X controllers. The D-pad does feel a bit too mushy for my taste, but that's probably the only thing I'd like to see tightened up. If I'm nitpicking, the triggers are also a bit squeaky, but that's a minor issue.There are also back paddles, and for PC users that opens up the potential to have two additional buttons. However, for console players, these buttons can only be mapped to match two existing buttons on the controller, so they're not terrible useful unless they can specifically be used to clone some other action that would otherwise be impossible because your thumbs/fingers would have to be in two places at once. This is a limitation of the Xbox, so 8bitdo can't be blamed for this.I also have a minor complaint about the audio jack. Unfortunately, it's not isolated against ground loops, so microphones can cause a bunch of noise if you don't use your own ground loop isolator. This is also a common issue for Xbox controllers, and a well-documented problem, so it's not surprising 8bitdo didn't solve it here either, but it would have been nice if it had.Finally, I just ran into my first major problem with the controller, prompting me to finally post this review (which I've been holding onto a bit too long). The left trigger cap snapped off while I was gaming. I tend to treat my things pretty gently; I don't throw the controller around, smash it against things, or otherwise mistreat it, so it's weird that this happened. The cap appears to be mostly cosmetic, so the trigger is technically still useful without it, but it feels awkward. I suspect this can be fixed easily enough with some kind of plastic glue, but the symbols and documentation don't give any indication of what type of plastic was used to manufacture the controller, so I don't know which glue to use. I'm about to reach out to support to find out, but I'm not particularly happy that the design was as fragile as it was.
