- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

MODERATORS
I bought a couple of Pro 2s and they didn't work for my use case. Bluetooth controllers are always very sketchy on my computer, so I was trying to use them over 2.4GHz. They were really responsive, but unfortunately there was no way to switch them off of Xinput. Xinput is fine, but it doesn't support gyro inputs. So basically if I was playing a game that used gyro, it was bluetooth or nothing. Ended up being a dealbreaker for me and I returned them.
At the time, there was a beta firmware floating around that had support for what I needed, but I never ended up getting it to work and the 8Bitdo support team said there was no timeline for an official release. YMMV, it could be available now.
besides the incompatibility for the 2.4ghz thing.
Did you like the controller? Did it feel like it was built well?
Yeah absolutely. From a build quality perspective it was great.
