If you like the DS4, you will most possibly like the Pro 2. They have a nearly identical form factor. I like the feel of the Pro 2 with it’s textured back more.

Buttons, d-pad and sticks are great, also on par with the DS4. The back buttons are nice to use, while I never triggered them accidentally. Only the Start and Select buttons are just okayish, but do the job.

The new 8bitdo Pro 2 gamepads have hall effect stick, a symmetrical layout and are available in Europe. Made in China, though. I have … some of them. Love especially the translucent purple one.

I mean, the original is still fun to play, even if the controlls are outdated from a modern perspective. But it is so interesting to see, how so much of the fluid movements, we see in modern games were tried out there.

Thanks for making lemmy an active place and all, but man, that dude sucks.
