@@itcamefromabox glad they finally responded by saying it wakes the Switch from sleep mode. It's an odd one in that you turn the controller on and shake it to wake the Switch up.
literally went and found me a 8bitdo pro 2 controller on amazon based on this review. thank you so much for the suggestion. i found it in clear purple and the nostalgia immediately settled in. cant wait to recieve and try it out. thanks
Hey Luigi, we're currently doing a full-time so we're doing weekly videos if possible! There's going to be shorter videos that we could do throughout the week as well :D All that is due to your support
Surprised not to see the Power A Nano Enchanced Wireless Switch Controller. It's an awesome and surprisingly comfortable controller that I tend to use more often than my Switch Pro Controller. That 8Bitdo Lite is such a neat looking thing but I just wish they had a grey or black colour option.
The splitpad has an official adapter that lets you use it as a standalone controller so you can use it in TV Mode. It's something akin to the joycon grip.
I’ve been using the 8bitdo Pro 2 for a couple of months and I have to say it’s the best 3rd party controller out there for the Switch. For 50€, you get tons of features (including the ability to remap the buttons and sticks on the fly with the Ultimate Software app) and the build quality is like a 1st party controller.
I loved mine until it started bugging out. It kept disconnecting from the switch while playing even while plugged in. If that stopped happening I would use it a lot more but, now I use my pro controller almost always
Even the 8bitdo Pro+ is good, it's only missing the two buttons at the back and the physical mode switch. You have to switch its mode between pc, android and switch via the app. But besides that, it's still my best pc and switch controller I use it all the time
@@JLchevz I grew up playing with PlayStation controllers so it doesn’t feel that out of place for me. Its layout is much more comfortable with retro games and 2D platformers since the d-pad is at the perfect spot for your thumb. i’m It handles quite well for 3D games, however I use the 8BitDo Ultimate Controller for those.
Great video! I might consider that 8bitdo Pro 2, and the playstation colourway is great! You also reminded me I oughta play with my Legends Arceus Split Pad Pro again 👀
Kind of surprised not to see Power A wireless controllers or the binbok not listed. I have the binbok and Power A Fusion Pro and think those are some of the best for the Switch. That is my opinion though, love your videos, especially your Nintendo switch ones since I actually bought some items thanks to those videos . Keep up the good work man.
Appreciate your opinion! We went with categories instead with these being the best in 'em. The PowerA fusion line is lacking features at the asking price and binbok's just felt cheap to us :O BUT it comes down to preference! Thanks again for commenting :D
Sn30 pro 2 is the best budget gaming controller period if you pair it with their wireless adapter and you can use it on ps and Xbox and on that it's flat out better. On steam it works better than the elite series two. Btw great video
Personally i think nyxi joycon and/or binbok joycon are better than hori split pad. They are basically hori split pads with motion control and can be use in wireless mode. And if attached in the middle, they can also act as pro controllers
I've been planning on getting the Pro 2 for a while but none of the stuff I watched/read till now said it doesn't wake the Switch. Ngl, that's kind of a bummer. Not sure if it's a deal breaker but that sucks for me lol.
I've been using my matte black Power A pro controller, has not crapped out, amazing battery life for casual gamers like myself who have kids and can't get a lot of gaming in, it also wakes the switch not sure on rumble as I don't really enjoy it and same for motion control
Unless you want symmetrical start/select buttons, back paddles, analog triggers and the easier profile switching it's basically the same controller so not really unless you really want another one
@@itcamefromabox The only issue I had with them was the left joystick getting loose in the middle after using the Binbok for over 5 months, which was when I started playing Paper Mario & Bug Fables, so I’m guessing the button mashing may have caused that issue. Other than that, they were pretty good, though it makes me wonder why they aren’t sold in stores like Walmart or GameStop.
The Pro 2 is certainly very good... But the one I got seems to have a faulty BT switch, because it loves to disconnect if you so much as look at that toggle funny. I had to go through the radical procedure of removing the toggle switch so it wouldn't do that anymore, AND EVEN THEN it would still do it on Android and PC. So until I can figure something out, my Pro 2 is a Nintendo Switch only controller.
@@itcamefromabox ok good to know. I’ve been trying to buy one but I keep coming cross users and videos saying that 8bitdo controllers are better but I don’t know which to choose. I think I might end up getting the pro Nintendo switch. In the end they all drift at some point.
I have the Pac Man split pad pro on my OLED and it seems that I have to give it a little extra push into the dock. Kinda don't like that but it doesn't seem to affect anything.
I've already got the Hori Split Pad Pro and I love it. I don't even play in handheld much, but it just feels more substantial when I have to handle the Switch. Definitely worth the buy. They even make nice heavy duty cases for it! I also want the one you showed right after the Hori. It seems like the perfect controller to take along in a case. Right now, I mostly play the Switch docked, using the OLED joy cons, plugged into the charging grip. Eventually when the joy cons give out, I'll probably pick up the pro controller instead.
The Pro Controller has issues with drift after so much play. It also can lose contact with face buttons. I’ve had two Pro Controllers die on me and have been using the 8bitdo SN Pro2 for docked and the Hori Split Pad Pro for handheld.
Im kind of annoyed that after five years there's no one perfect controller for everything. Obviously the closest is the Pro Controller and the SN30, but the crappy DPad and bring unable to wake up the Switch are pains in the butts, respectively.
Yeah that's actually why I still recommend the OG pro controller, tackles everything the switch experience needs and most people don't even use the d-pad 🤷♂️
The 8BitDo Pro2 is nice, but I don't like the where the Capture and Home buttons are. I think it would be better to place both of them in the center where where Select and Start buttons are.
Have the Pro Switch Controller, have the 8 bit do PS version controller, BUT I NEED SOMETHING BIGGER. Why? I'm 6 foot 5inches tall = long fingers/hands. Is there a solid Switch controller with BACKPADDLES instead of buttons on the market? Anyone happen to know?
I have the older 8bitdo and the pro co troller. I used to have joycons but I traded them in after I got the hori compact. And I don't use all of them lol
I got all the nso controllers but I got the Japanese sega and Famicom ones. I don't think I can be happier with them but the one I'm very surprised that I love is my retrobit origin8 I got it to play Gameboy and Gameboy advance games and it's quite literally perfect. My next and probably last controller for my switch I am going to make a wireless dog bone with the 8bitdo kit
Probably already done but why not a switch game collection for 2022 would love to get the name of some of the games you play in the video and controller wise it’s a toss up between pro controller and the power a GameCube controller
So I have 3 controllers for my Switch and none of them satisfy when it comes to retro games on Switch Online/Retro games. Now I’ve heard that the 8Bitdo Ultimate controller is the best overall controller, but would you still recommend the 8Bitdo Pro 2 for retro (mostly 2D) games?
Yeah, but the ultimate controller uses hall sticks which makes drift almost impossible which is nice, there's also a 20-30 dollar streamlined version of the ultimate controller coming in a few months called the "ultimate c" so keep an eye out
It's still a great controller, but because we went with five different categories, the 8bitdo beat it! build quality is much better and it's much more reliable
The 8bitdo pro 2 replaced it! It's still a good controller but when testing it side by side I kept choosing the pro 2. regardless, both are a solid pick!
@@itcamefromabox I feel like the 8bitdo pro 2 only excels in 2d gaming, because the PlayStation like layout is very uncomfortable for me when playing 3d games.
the pro controller biggest problem is its too heavy. dpad is its second problem as frankly that only affects classic games. for a while, the power a wireless was my solution to the weight problem. but its dpad is too small, so i kept searching. Finally i settled on the hori wireless horipad. it is light weight without being small, and has a great dpad. i used it so much that eventually the ZR button lost its click altho still works. I dont mind the missing rumble or amiibo functions. i mainly rotate between these 3. but i gotta say the pdp little wireless gets some use as well. its compact and convenient, without much compromise. i wont use it for splatoon or any long intense sessions, but for quick games or casuals like animal crossing its nearly perfect. i also find it great for street fighter and 2d plaformers because the lack of handles makes the big dpad accessible even with a standard layout. All 4 of these are different makes and officially licensed, and wake the switch. the pdp has a stubborn habit of trying to reconnect even if you turn off the switch or disconnect it from the menus. the solution is to always click the sync button briefly to turn it off.
I have to strongly disagree about hori split pad. Bought to seperate controllers. Massive joystick failure on both. One drifted down. The other literally got stuck in down position. And i dont hulk smash....controllers anyway
I’m not risking my money to buy chinese controller again. My gulikit kingkong pro controller broke 5 months after buying, and my 8bitdo pro 2 broke 6 months after buying. If you have the money, buy the original nintendo pro controller and for pc buy cheapo wired xbox controller. Don’t buy multipurpose controller, it broke easily in my experience.
Sure it could’ve been copy only, but buying both of them one after another and both of them broke within a year makes me swear not to buy third party controller again. I’m that bummed out.
damn dude. I'm sorry to hear! Yeah, we've had a lot of issues with Chinese controllers before but it seems the ones we have from 8bitdo haven't had as many issues
@@itcamefromabox thank you. I know 8bitdo is among the best in third party controller market, and I know I’m being too harsh towards 8bitdo. But I can confidently say 8bitdo has the best feeling and features among the rest, including the software you get for button mapping and dead zone adjustment. It’s a steal for that price point. Shame my copy didn’t last that long..
That's how the company pronounces it! I use to say 8bit-DO but i've reached out to them and they say it's DOE. I'll take either though haha There's another brand I used to say as Skull & Company but it's just Skull & Co. lol I was just so used to saying Co. as Company haha
Bro u missed the big fish here, the Nyxi/Binbok Joy Pad are an infinitely superior version for the Hori Split Pad pro, those actually have the same features as the Hori, but can be detachable and played as a normal Joycon. Vibration, giroscope, and even RGB! not to mention that they’re like 40 bucks less than normal Joy Cons, I got em and I just can’t think how I didn’t bought them before
No more asking, now you know! 8BitDo Pro 2 all the way! Up next, we've got HAULED episodes for the PS5, Xbox and yes... the Switch 😜
It's too bad the 8bitdo Ultimate hasn't come out yet for this video... very excited for that one.

Love these sincere reviews of high quality tech! Great job as always, Sergio!

That 8Bitdo Lite is such a neat looking thing but I just wish they had a grey or black colour option.
That's definitely a favorite I'd say in the top 10 list! And yeah I wish 8bitdo had more colors for their controllers as well :(
The splitpad has an official adapter that lets you use it as a standalone controller so you can use it in TV Mode. It's something akin to the joycon grip.
I know but it's wired T_T Really wish they went wireless with it :[
@@itcamefromabox I agree, but it's still nice they FINALLY gave an option to use those controllers outside Handheld mode.
Id also add the 8bitdo Arcade Stick considering all the awesome arcade collections on the switch
I swap the DPad on the Pro Controller with that of a Wii U Pro Controller. That alone fixed all of the issues I previously had with that controller.
Hori Split Pad Pro for using it as a handheld and 8BitDo Ultimate when playing on my TV. Two of the best accessories I’ve ever purchased.
I’ve been using the 8bitdo Pro 2 for a couple of months and I have to say it’s the best 3rd party controller out there for the Switch.

You also reminded me I oughta play with my Legends Arceus Split Pad Pro again 👀
it's a great one! And that's an awesome edition!
I can’t wait for the new 8bitdo pro controller. The sticks are drift resistant. And rumor is it can wake the switch

I have to admit I have the 8 bitdo lite and was considering getting the lite 2 thanks, and as for the PDP lite I own it and enjoy it
Yeah it's honestly the best portable controller out there! but that being one size matters the most
This may be 2 weeks old but your videos are just beautifully well done man.
Sn30 pro 2 is the best budget gaming controller period if you pair it with their wireless adapter and you can use it on ps and Xbox and on that it's flat out better. On steam it works better than the elite series two. Btw great video
too true!! I can't believe that price :0
Hey man thanks for the great vids
no problem! appreciate you watching!
I basically modified my 8bitdo pro 2 and switched A and B and X and Y and to follow the Xbox layout instead of the switch layout
nice, that's the one im most used to lol!! what platform do you use it for??
I Love Your Vids And My OG Controller is Just a good 😊
Yes it is and thanks so much Dino :D
Just bought my 8BitDo pro 2 remote in the gray ps1 colorway and got the carrying case combo, excited to test it out when I receive it!
This is just the fuel for my impulsive buying.
AND IM TWELVE
If I had the money, I would get the split pad pro to replace my joycons since the right one drifts to the right.
Wait for the new split pad pro that's releasing soon!
@@itcamefromabox new split pad pro? Wonder what they got this time.
8bitdo all the way. They have a very good portable one too, not shown here sadly.
Yeah. The ones which lack the controller grips. I’ve had the SF30 for years and it still holds up today
I see you on every other video about the Pro 2 lol
I love you keep up the good work
we love you caydawg! thanks for watching!
@@itcamefromabox No problem
It’s always fascinating to see improvements to controllers so I shared the video to Facebook 🎮🏆💫
Split pad pro are all I've been using for a full 2 years if not more.
Yeah, they're incredibly comfortable!
@@itcamefromabox let's just say i had no problem switching to a steam deck having used a Hori pad pro for so long
I have switch pro controller..pdp little wireless controller..hori split pad pro controller love them all !!!
Personally i think nyxi joycon and/or binbok joycon are better than hori split pad.
They are basically hori split pads with motion control and can be use in wireless mode.
And if attached in the middle, they can also act as pro controllers
I've been planning on getting the Pro 2 for a while but none of the stuff I watched/read till now said it doesn't wake the Switch. Ngl, that's kind of a bummer. Not sure if it's a deal breaker but that sucks for me lol.
it really is especially if your switch is always docked :/
I've been using my matte black Power A pro controller, has not crapped out, amazing battery life for casual gamers like myself who have kids and can't get a lot of gaming in, it also wakes the switch not sure on rumble as I don't really enjoy it and same for motion control
Missing Gulikit Kingkong 2 which analog drift-proof, mechanical buttons with great durability, and fully compatible as Switch pro controller
Wassup ICFAB. I still have the original SN30 Pro+ but would u say it's worth upgrading to the 2nd model as well?
Unless you want symmetrical start/select buttons, back paddles, analog triggers and the easier profile switching it's basically the same controller so not really unless you really want another one
The Hori Split Pad Pro is nice, but have you guys tried the Binbok Joy-Con controllers? They have a better feeling grip, and they’re wireless.
we have but we've had issues with them with both build quality and random disconnects and missed inputs :( might just have been that one unit though!
@@itcamefromabox The only issue I had with them was the left joystick getting loose in the middle after using the Binbok for over 5 months, which was when I started playing Paper Mario & Bug Fables, so I’m guessing the button mashing may have caused that issue.

I loved the binboks, but they would drain the heck out of my Switch battery even in sleep mode.

Did you figure it out? maybe you could've sent it back if it still was under warranty or something
So the Nintendo pro is the top best controller for Nintendo switch? Just want to make sure.
By sales yes! But it's the official first party controller which is hard to compete with.
@@itcamefromabox ok good to know. I’ve been trying to buy one but I keep coming cross users and videos saying that 8bitdo controllers are better but I don’t know which to choose. I think I might end up getting the pro Nintendo switch. In the end they all drift at some point.
I have the Pac Man split pad pro on my OLED and it seems that I have to give it a little extra push into the dock. Kinda don't like that but it doesn't seem to affect anything.
I noticed that too, I think it has to do with the bumpers on the back. The newer versions of the split pad don't have that issue.
hmmm interesting. are you using the new doc?
@@itcamefromabox yup new dock
You can also use a ps5 controller, you just need a USB receiver but you end up with an amazing and comfortable experience.
The PS5 controller ain't even that good
I've already got the Hori Split Pad Pro and I love it. I don't even play in handheld much, but it just feels more substantial when I have to handle the Switch. Definitely worth the buy. They even make nice heavy duty cases for it!

i've been using ONLY my original blue and red joycons for almost three years now. still working fine as of posting this comment
My favorite controller is a pdp if you can't hit the right buttons it's not my fault but no vibration on it also lol 😂
The 8BitDo Pro2 is nice, but I don't like the where the Capture and Home buttons are. I think it would be better to place both of them in the center where where Select and Start buttons are.

Binbok joycons, they are like the hori split pad pro, but better, it has bluetooth, 6 axis, rumble and a battery.
Thanks

time code me please and I'll let you know!
Plus the 8bitdo is great for small kids with small hands you forget about that.
Do these controllers have the possibility of getting stick drift?
Every controller does, but there's some that use hall sensor sticks that make drift basically impossible
What's with those subtle lines on the face buttons of the pro controller? Been seeing it in other videos too. Is that a manufacturing flaw?
hmmm time code me! might be light reflections?
2:38 it's a bit hard to see. When u get the chance, take a close look at the Ur pro controller face buttons and let me know if you see them.
You should try binbok/nixy joy cons instead the hori ones

That's how the company pronounces it! I use to say 8bit-DO but i've reached out to them and they say it's DOE. I'll take either though haha There's another brand I used to say as Skull & Company but it's just Skull & Co. lol I was just so used to saying Co. as Company haha
Did they give you an explanation of _why_ they pronounce it like that?
What game is he playing @6:05?

i have all of them exp for the Pro Controller
Bro u missed the big fish here, the Nyxi/Binbok Joy Pad are an infinitely superior version for the Hori Split Pad pro, those actually have the same features as the Hori, but can be detachable and played as a normal Joycon. Vibration, giroscope, and even RGB! not to mention that they’re like 40 bucks less than normal Joy Cons, I got em and I just can’t think how I didn’t bought them before
Gulikit kingkong pro 2

Those only beat out one category, the others still stand strong 💪
