A Pro 2 owner's trigger buttons came off after a trip in a backpack.
“My Pro 2 lost both of its trigger buttons when I brought it with me in a backpack on a trip.”
After almost a year and several drops, a gamer's Pro 2 triggers are fine.
“Ive had my Pro 2 for almost a year, my cat dropped it quite a few times from the desk and this hasnt happened to me at all.”
An FPS player's three Pro 2 controllers all broke the same way, with trigger caps snapping off.
“I've had three Pro 2 controllers that all broke the same way, the trigger caps all broke off from regular usage”
A gamer's Pro 2 needed disassembling for repair at least five times before they gave up on 8BitDo.
“my sn30pro and pro2 had to be disassembled for repair at least 5 times each before i gave up on them”
A player liked the 8BitDo Pro 2's shape, but the right trigger became loose quickly and creaks on light presses.
“Overall I've liked the controller and shape, but my right trigger has gotten noticeably loose over a short amount of time and light presses cause a creaking sound”
The Pro 2 is their favourite of several 8BitDo and Switch controllers, though its buttons still need a fair amount of force.
“I've tried 8bitdo pro2 and pro3, switch pro controller, and 8bitdo 2c. Out of these, the pro 2 is my favorite, but the buttons still require a fair amount of force to press.”
