    Chiming in on the 8Bitdo SN-30 Pro+ (which I think is largely identical to the Pro 2 apart from the new back buttons on the pro 2):

    Pros:

    • Personally I like the feel more than an XBox style controller. YMMV.
    • Solid feel for a rather low price
    • Never gave ME any problems with Bluetooth on PC, but everyone seems to have different experiences with pretty much any brand of Bluetooth controller without a dedicated receiver

    Cons:

    • After 2.5 years of moderate usage, I’m starting to see some light stick drift. I do think I want my next controller to use Hall effect sticks, but if you’re the type to upgrade periodically anyways, might not be a big deal to you.
    • Rumble motors feel a bit meh?
    • There have been times where I’ve had to re-set my brain to deal with Switch vs XBox button naming when playing on PC. It looks like the KingKong 2 Pro lets you physically swap the button caps easily, which is a good idea IMO.
