Now is a great time to snap up this deal on the 8BitDo Pro 2 Bluetooth gamepad, because it’s currently half off the regular price. If you don’t know anything about 8BitDo, it makes tons of different game controllers and other gaming accessories. The Pro 2 is one such controller and because it’s Bluetooth, it can be used with all kinds of different devices. This includes the Nintendo Switch, as well as mobile devices. You can even use it with your PC or handheld gaming PC, such as the Steam Deck or ROG Ally X.
Normally this controller would cost $49.99 at its full retail price. However, it’s currently on sale for just $25 at Best Buy right now. This deal is only good for today and then the price goes back up to normal. So don’t waste time in getting this if you’re looking for a really good controller at an affordable price.
Now in terms of features, this is a wireless controller but you can also use it as a wired controller if you need to. It has a 20-hour play time so you shouldn’t have to charge it often. That being said, it also has a 4-hour charge time. So if it happens to die on you while playing, you can plug it in and continue using it while it charges.
Another really good feature is that this controller has Hall Effect sticks. Stick drift is a really big issue with some controllers these days. The answer to that is the Hall Effect sticks. The Pro 2 also supports an adjustable trigger range, and you can use the companion 8BitDo software to set up macros. Basically just a long sequence of inputs mapped to one single input. So if you play fighting games, this controller is a great way to set up combos.
