Before I do a full review I thought I’d share the differences on both controllers in case you couldn’t decide which on is for you. Thoughts?
I Play on Nintendo
I like that you mentioned the LED improvement. I don't know how many times I've been tilting the Pro+ around trying to see if it was connecting or not because that light on it is so dim. Really liking the Pro 2 but...if they're gonna position this so strongly as a Switch controller then they need some other Switch "pro" features like being able to wake the Switch. I don't normally care if it's a more multiplatform-y controller like the King Kong Pro or ZD-0. I mean, obviously the Pro 2 is "multiplatform-y" given its inclusion of the platform toggle, but with all the talk about "best Switch controller best Switch controller!" I start expecting more Switch-specific features. That's just me though.

Hi. Great review! Do you know if this works on Call of Duty mobile on Android?
@@waynethang9034 best switch controller? That's just for sales man lol
I was looking around for a good breakdown of the differences between these controllers, and this video was very helpful in deciding the Pro 2 was the one to go for for me.
Just received mine a few days ago. I chose the darker gray cause the symbols are on the buttons.
I haven't used mine yet but I will do an update before doing so
This dude is literally my favorite switch youtuber. He has every single video I was looking for. No other switch youtuber has the same great videos.
Been waiting for this one! Great comparison, always appreciate how thorough you are. Looking forward to the full review but I think this may be enough to convince me to buy it already...
yeah, it’s a great controller which I think came through in the video 😂
the review will cover more things like the app in more detail and more on the physical controller.
Love this video! The professionalism is surprisingly good for the channel size, and I love the use of the new section feature. Came here for a quick comparison, but now I think I'll stay awhile. Sadly the Pro 2 is incredibly hard for me to find in the US, but I'm sold on the Pro 2 for the little features that will mean a lot to me. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks, really appreciate it.
Really good review. Well done.
Thanks so much for this video! This really helped me choose which one would suit me best, since the differences aren't very clear on the 8bitdo website. Great work, extremely professional and in-depth, and beautiful video quality; not to mention you seem very likeable in general haha. Wishing you well, cheers!
Thank you. That means a lot to me, I really appreciate the comment. Take care.
Havent been on this channel for a while and I see youre doing face cam, i personally like that as it feels like youre actually speaking to the audience nice job
Great comparison, and very good video quality! I especially enjoy how you went through using the app to make new profiles on the Pro 2, as well as mentioning all the more subtle differences (namely how the dimensions compare) . I'm actually the opposite of others: same stock issues as the others, but the little additional features aren't enough for me to justify waiting until then instead of getting the Pro+ in less than a week. I'm getting it for my PC and I don't see myself switching between devices (plus button combos instead of a dedicated switch doesn't bother me much at all), and I also don't see myself changing up profiles/using the macros on the back (not to mention using it on my PC means I'll usually be with the software, should I ever decide to use it). Rubberized grip also seems enticing, but I've never used a controller with one and it's not enough of a draw to make me wait to get one.
You've earned yourself a subscriber!
Thanks for the comment. Really appreciate the support. 👍🏻
Darn!! I was honestly going to suck it up and get the original Pro because I love the look of it over the new one, but the last difference really hit the nail in the coffin, as someone who uses PC and iPad for games. Thanks for the great in-depth review.
The Start/Select and ABXY buttons are also positioned slightly differently. Start/Select are now centered and ABXY are now more circular.
Great video man
Cheers.
Great video man, great job
Appreciate it!
These guys are great! I have their bluetooth adapter to use my Xbox or PS4 controller on Switch, and it works beautifully! I love these controllers for the most part, and would totally get one, but I did get a Pro controller, which I prefer because the thumb sticks are asymmetrical. If 8BitDo made a controller that could wake the Switch and had asymmetrical thumbsticks I'd probably snap it up!
very good video :) i already have the pro+ and when i heard of the pro 2 i couldnt see any differences at first but i definitely plan to pick one up now
Very good comparison. Thank you 😊
I never heard of the pro2 until yesterday. And by the sound of it, we have the values in a controller :) now I want it; the 30pro+ is my fave controller period. Now theirs the pro2
I have SN30 Pros. Are these + and 2 digital pads still really sensitive like they were (or are) since the SN30?
Do the bumper buttons and or triggers on the front of the controller act just on or off or do they allow for different pressures to be used ? For instance art of rally and throttle is either on or off. And I understand another systems the triggers allow for variations in pressure and correspondence with throttle
thank you for your breakdown
wow thank alot !
Thanks, I was thinking about buying one and I wasn't sure which one to buy
Amazing controller
Got PRO 2 last week and i love it
Good video. One thing I noticed when modding these controllers, is that the D-pad AND the rubber behind it are BOTH different thicknesses in the two generations, so, pro tip for modders: leave the D-pad alone! It will not feel right if you swap it with the other generation. This is fine, because only the joysticks and start/select are slightly darker on the Pro 2. The color of both D-pads are identical on both gens.
you're the first person I've seen pronounce it that way and prove you're correct.
well done sir. I've got the sn30+ pro for my switch. I just upgraded to the oled and
thought I'd get another set of joycons. not for $80! I'm thinking maybe upgrade my
controller instead.
**edit** at the beginning of the vid I was on the fence. by the end I'm placing my order
with Amazon. ty.
Thank you.
Great controller(s) 👍🏻
Hi, I've just been digging through all reviews for Pro+ and Pro 2. I noticed that the Pro+ doesn't have the time delay option when setting up macros (which Pro 2 has). However, all the review videos are from 3 years ago. I'm not sure if its support has been added to Pro+ since.
Does Pro+ now have access to the same time delay option in macro? I'm thinking of getting a controller purely for the macro function, and I'm looking at these 2 options, with Pro+ being like 1/2 the price of the Pro 2.
Thanks for this! I got the Analogue Super NT and was looking to get one of these two to use with it (they'll work in combination with the 8BitDo SNES Bluetooth adapter). Going off your review, I think I'll go with the Pro 2. Seems like the differences are nominal, but I really like the phone app vs. the PC app.
Hi! I would like to ask if the Pro 2 clip will fit on a sn30 pro +?
Thanks . very good information
Cab you use a trigfer stopper on it?
The paddles are pretty good for n64 emulation, right? Like for the cpad or however its called
Idk if its because the pro 2 has the letters on the actual buttons but a/b/x/y all look to have the same round buttons where on the pro + a/b have round tops but x/y have a finger indentation.
I think it may be dependant on which variant you have. have been trying to get hold of other ones to see but not had any luck as these sell quite fast.
I'll take 8bitdo any day. Never got a chance to try one but will eventually buy one for my PC and laptop soon.
do a review next on the 8bitdo ultimate bluetooth controller and thank you for all the info getting the transparent purple one for my sister for Christmas. :)
Do the buttons all feel identical esp the d pad, is what I’m looking for?
From what I understand the big problem with the Pro 2 is that it doesn't work on Apple TV.
Can you confirm it?
Thank you
Great review! Very well done 👏
does the sn30 pro+ phone grip works with the pro 2?
Wonderful video thank you so much! I couldn’t quite tell, do either of the two wake up a Switch without pressing the power button on the switch?
No you can’t wake up the switch sadly
Superb. Great video. 👍🏼
Thanks 👍🏻
What are your opinions on the overall 8bitdo controllers? Are they suffering from stick drift after like 2 years?
Any idea about Pro 2 and Chromebook compatibility ?
Nice, thank you for the review of the 8bitDoo. Why were you on your second pro+? Drift? Did it break? Elaborate, please.
I broke it 😬
@@CTAtechdesk Did you get mad and slam it on the ground? Were you trying to mod it? Did you jam in the wrong charger type? Did you try to use it as a boomerang? What don't you understand about the word elaborate? Is it a private matter? Are you embarrassed? Did your girlfrind sit on it? Did you get it wet?
great review man! the song is kinda too loud though
Thanks a lot. Not knowing the difference, I wound up buying the Pro+, so I will now, like you, have both 🙂 - One question, you mentioned that the Pro+ did not wake up the switch, and I may have missed it, but does the pro 2 wake up the switch simply by pressing say the A button?
Nope it does not wake up the switch
hey! i would like to know, do you think that the older controller, bcz it's deeper has any more comfort in bigger hands? that's actually the most important thing to me as my hands are pretty big. Not only that, but the buttons and dpad also seem bigger and easier to use with big fingers on the older one. Also the joysticks seem a little bit farther apart. Does all this make a difference? If not the newer model would be the obvious choice, but if it does, how much?
I wanna know if the new one is more comfortable for smaller hands
@@jmoriarty8000 does the older one suit small hand?
Is it better to play platformers on a pc with one of these than a normal xbox controller?
Pro 2 is my jam.
Sir does the pro 2 work on Linux (Ubuntu)? I want it for emulation (Yuzu and Cemu).
This video was incredibly useful.
I understood that I don't need the pro 2, since the SN30+ does everything I need and the extra feature seem a little niche to me.
I have decided to buy both. I like the older one because the paddles annoy me and i dont use the profile feature
Have you reviewed the sn30 pro cloud edition for Xbox? I kinda wanna see it lol
No, but it’s on the list 👍🏻
Thinking of getting one for the ipad pro...anyone have experience?
any news about 8bitdo controllers not charging?
I own the Gameboy version of the original SN30. I may get one of these new ones too, they seem like worthwhile additions to an already great controller. Makes me wish that the PS4 had more alternative controller options too.
There are a few PS4 options but they are either really cheap versions or very expensive options, nothing quite middle ground.
@@CTAtechdesk Basically yeah. Sony practically has a monopoly on PS4 controllers almost.
Accidentally got tbe Pro+ instead of the Pro2 without looking since it was cheaper by a small bit and apart from the paddles I could live with the Pro+ for now.
Thank you for this video
Hows the sn30 pro plus? Is it good for fighting and racing games
@@spideymen1544 Only play Mario Kart for Racing and it does the job wonderfully and it serves well for fighting games.
@@spideymen1544 nvm it's pretty bad for fighters, barely able to do jump forwards/backs with the dpad. The controls are too tight imo. Good for smash but bad for anything traditional
For retro games and new days games, would you rather use Xbox one controller or pro 2 ?
xbox controller is designed for 3D games
I don't have either, but the Pro 2 isn't available where I currently am. Am I good with the Pro+? I think it's fine.
I have the Pro+. Definitely a great choice :)
@@MrMega-nl7ts Sounds good to me!
my pro 2 has blank purple buttons and the letters are printed outside the buttons so I was worried it might be fake but looks like it's not
I can't get how to set douple buttons to the macro paddles in Tekken 7, it doesn't work!
When I set e.g. Y + A to P1/P2 in Tekken 7 only one of these buttons will be used in the game!! So what did I wrong?? ... I've bought it only for Tekken 7 for a better D-pad than a PS4 Dualyshock and the programmable buttons but at the time I'm just disappointed 😥
What kind of kontrolfreeks/thumb grips will work with the pro 2?
I haven’t tested yet. will do that and add it to the review 👍🏻
Should I get the pro+ if the pro 2 is not available in my country?
They are both superb. you won’t be disappointed with the pro+
Now we wait for Amazon to restock the Pro 2...even though the Pro is on sale for 42.99 USD atm
There is another big advantage of SN30+ it is PS3 compatbile via dedicated 8bitdo aplication. It is strange that they remove this form succesor.
i have this 8bitdo controlller. the d pad is so bad. it only registers diagonals half of the time. i literally roll my finger from ⬇↘➡, but I instead I get ⬇➡
8bitdo gang where you at
pro 2 got a lot of connection problem, so i recommend for sn30 pro 2
They should put switch wake up function.
now do you still recommend Gulikit kingkong over the pro2?
Pro2 has more customisation in the app but the gulikit is comfier. Both are excellent.
Is the sn30 pro 2 using hall effect sensors?
Neither do sadly.
So with the mode switch, lets say im playing using the pro 2 on my android but then i wanted to use it on my PC with 1 button can it connect from android to pc instantly?
I haven’t tested those 2 specifics but it does that for me and my switch/Mac.
It is connected to one device, you move to say x-input and it will immediately try to connect to remembered devices eg. PC, takes about 5-10 seconds to change between devices
@@MarmaladePlan3t so if it's connected to my Android phone in Dinput mode and I change to Xinput to connect at my PC I can go back and forward just by changing the switch and it will try to connect to the other device?
Great controller just never been a fan of back paddle buttons
I got the pro+and saw the pro2 still unopened in box "used" at my local used game shop. 30 bucks. I don't even have anyone to play 2playee with my daughter still too young. But I'm such a huge fan of 8bitdo I had to buy it so now I got one of each. Hori is ok too. Got the left dpad joycon which is great. Split pad pros are aight for big hands. And I got the RAP hyabusa V arcade stick which is imo the best one out. Even better than 8bitdo which Is crazy for me to say.
BTW this video was exactly what I was looking for ty, you've convinced me to upgrade.
Is the pro 2 more comfortable to use, or is it pretty much the same thing
Actually I found the pro+ just a tiny bit more comfy to hold mostly cuz it doesn't have the buttons in the back so you can really get a good firm grip without pushing somn. But it's just barely and the unique features on the pro2 specifically reprogramming buttons via app even trigger sensitivity, outweigh that difference making it still my first choice. Example. I got Metroid dread it's good but I am oldschool so I like using Dpad. In my 2d games. However that isn't an option. Gotta use analog. Unless. U have oro 2. Just swap stick and Dpad. Boom Metroid dread with Dpad. Or swap B and A for N64 so it's like every other game on switch and jumps with B not A
I have been using my Pro 2 controller for 2 years now and it is perfect for me. I don't like how the ultimate feels on my hands and I'm a fan of the PS layout more than the xbox layout.
Having to use a mobile phone app to configure it, instead of the PC im going to use the controller with, seems wildly inconvenient and janky. Is there a windows version of this software?
yes
Sounds to me like the two girls harmonizing in that speaker say Ayy-bih-doe, and the relationship with 'Nintendo' is obvious.
8bit do what Nintendo don't.
Just a polite request are you able to say the names of the products when comparing instead of "this one" and "this one"
Which one can connect to PC?
I think it's both for them, since both use Bluetooth as connectivity solution, but possibly with cable, although I'm not sure on that due to me not owning either of them
I dunno the Pro 2 but the SNPro does indeed connect the pc
I must admit I will be buying 8bitdo. really impressed with weight. While I got a SN30 pro+ not pro2. Still happy. Also, I need a ps3 replacement controller and hopefully these controllers can provide it. It's shameful that sony doesn't allow ps5, ps4 controllers to be used properly with ps3. They should all fully work with each other. And I went through more ps4 controllers than any other Sony controller. I had a fake ps3 controller last longer than a ps4 one. So yeah I'm impressed with 8bitdo. Quality and build.
Not compatible with IOS but does work on Iphones? Do you mean not compatible with OSX but does work with iphones?
I believe it works with ios as per ios14. There’s a video where a guy play genshin while using this controller on ipad.
@@puffingpanda7003 works on my iphnoe which is on 12 or 13. ipad won't go up to 11 and it doesn't work on that
So can you use this on ps4 also?
No, neither work on PS4
Thanks,just wondering.
Hold on will any of these controllers be compatible with iOS cuz it says it has blue tooth
He says that it is not compatible.
@@lochrandoherty9218 I have tried the first version, the SN30 Pro+, with an iPad from 2017 and I can confirm that it works.
@@Ponn3s nice!
Is this overkill for a raspberry pi 4?
Nah
@@CTAtechdesk the nes and fc 30 pro I have, sometimes reset connection mid game. How is this one?
It was originally pronounced 8bit-doh before copyright claims from nintendo and they changed the pronunciation to 8bit-doo.
I've always called it 8bit dew not doh! 🤣
The paddles are way too easy to hit, I'm disappointed since it was the feature that I most wanted.
My Pro 1 wakes up the nintendo switch by holding the home button on the controller so long as you have paired it before hand.
Great video, little suggestion is not to say 'this one' and just say the name of the unit you're referring to, I can't follow if I'm doing something while watching your video.
can they be used on xbox one? perhaps with an adapter converter or something?
I’m currently working on this. I have an adapter to test. 👍🏻
I hate it when they put bright led on controller.
I always tape my dualshock and xbox one controllers light. Who thought putting light on a controller is a good idea.
Face buttons looks differently shaped, concave vs convex. Could be an optical illusion.
Does anyone know if the pro plus stuff will fit in a pro 2 shell?
hell naw
This is Korg.
Sadly you missed the most important difference. No version with concave X/Y buttons on the pro2. I'd have bought it already if not for that! :(
Yeah, was on my list but didn’t record it. Interesting you think that’s the most important though. 👍🏻
@@CTAtechdesk lol ya sadly it is enough to cause me to hesitate on purchasing. It's just such a rare thing to see these days which surprises me because it really changes the feel in a good way I think.
I’d keep an eye out as not all SN30’s have the concave buttons. So they may make a Pro2 with them at some point.
it might sounds like I'm asking a bit too much, But i am looking for Universal Controller where i can use it almost every old gens console to the least recent one like XBS X/S, PS5 and of course PC. If 8bitdo can create a controller that can support PS3/PS4 and Xbox360 I would love to have that. Since the actual XBOX360 controller is really hard to get in my country (Malaysia). Also good content 👍👍👍👍👍
The speaker says doh not do.
I personally don't see enough changes to justify getting this one. Sure it has some quality of life features but my Pro+ is just slightly less useful due to the new two buttons. I personally use mine for PC gaming and like my profile wo be maped just like Xbox since I am now a former Xbox player. I'll get it if my pro+ dies or they release a even better model but until then I am happy with what I got.
Agreed if you already own a Pro+ 👍🏻
