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.

I love the way the SN-30 Pro+ feels over an XBox style controller, but maybe that's because I grew up on an SNES controller.

Yeah, that shield design is a big plus
