On the surface level, the 8BitDo Pro 3 doesn’t look like much of an upgrade over the Pro 2. In actuality, the improvements are astronomical. With this new pad, 8BitDo has crammed in drift-eliminating TMR thumbsticks, magnetic hot-swappable face buttons, trigger locks, and an extra pair of optional remappable buttons. All this in a controller with exceptional build quality and at an extremely competitive price point makes it the best budget choice today.

Pros

  • +Beautiful, drift-beating TMR sticks
  • +Seriously customizable, in terms of both hardware and software
  • +One of the best d-pads I’ve ever used
  • +Both analog and digital trigger settings feel great
  • +Pairing is easy and instantaneous

Cons

  • -Start and Select buttons are crowded in the center, and feel mushy
  • -No Xbox or PlayStation compatibility
  • -No 3.5mm headphone jack
