The question is, which one do you choose?
Is the Pro 2 controller comfortable to hold?
It feels like the PlayStation and Super Nintendo controllers had a baby.
The Pro 2 has modern comforts like joysticks, trigger buttons, and grips.
The build quality is rock solid.
Button clicks are satisfying.
While holding the controller, I haven’t once wished that I were holding a different one.
The design is subdued and, dare I say, elegant.
The black finish looks great paired with anything you want to connect it to.

But you aren’t limited.

The triggers are perfectly accessible and do not feel like afterthoughts.
There are four of them, plus two paddles on the back.
In addition to the Start and Select buttons, you have dedicated Home and Screenshot buttons as well.

A Rechargeable Battery That Can Be Replaced With AAs
Early wireless controllers used disposable batteries.
Replacing disposables with rechargeable lithium-ion packs solved that issue.
you’re able to now charge your controller like you do your phone.
Unfortunately, that gives controllers the same fate as many modern electronics.
When the battery no longer accepts a charge at all, you’re out of luck.
Time to buy a new one.
The Pro 2 offers the best of both worlds.
This sets it apart from 8BitDo’s more expensive Ultimate controller, which does not take AAs.
But if you don’t want to fuss about with AA batteries, you don’t need to.
