8BitDo Pro 3 Wireless Controller (Bluetooth, 2.4G, USB)

Retro flagship. 8BitDo’s iconic design—elevated with next-level compatibility and control.

The latest version of the Pro controller series, the 8BitDo Pro 3 controller is our own personal favorite one.
It is based on the design of the Super Nintendo and PlayStation controllers, so fans of these classic controllers will feel at home right away.

Included is a docking station as well as a 2.4G USB Stick, which acts as a normal Gamepad device. This enables to use the controller on any device that supports USB gamepad controllers.

You can also directly connect it with a USB cable and use it as a wired controller.

Compatibility

It is compatible with the Switch 1 & 2, Windows PC, Apple®, SteamOS, and Android devices - and possibly tons of more devices like the Mister FPGA, Raspberry Pi or any other device that works with standard Bluetooth or USB controllers.

The 2.4G dongle supports S-Input and X-Input.
Bluetooth supports S-Input and D-Input.
The wired connections supports S-Input, D-Input and X-Input.

Special features

Besides using high-quality components like TMR sticks wear-resistant joystick rings, this game controller offers something that's pretty unique:
You can rearrange the buttons physically using an included magnet.
Which means that you can not only rearrange your button layout using the included software, but change the imprints on the buttons as well.

It also has ball sticks included, which you can use instead of the normal sticks, to give it a more arcade-like look.
