Some of my favorite gear

8Bitdo's Switch 2 compatible Ultimate 2 gamepad with charging dock

8BitDo’s Pro 3 controller has a very similar design to its predecessor, but it comes with a bunch of new features. One of the highlights of the new model is that it sports magnetic ABXY buttons, which you can remove and swap between Switch and Xbox layouts. This model even comes with two ball-top joystick caps that add a fun aesthetic touch to the overall look and feel. This one, just like the Ultimate 2 wireless unit, has TMR joysticks that are just as durable as the Hall effect sticks and consume less power overall, and some of its other highlights include Hall effect triggers with mode switching, support for vibrations, motion controls, and more.

If you’re looking for something more affordable to go with your Android, Chromebooks, and Windows PCs, SteelSeries’ Stratus Duo gamepad is down to $20. This one also has Hall effect triggers, and it’s down from its usual price of $33.

8BitDo Pro 3 Switch 2-compatible controller features:

• Multi-Platform Compatibility – Compatible with Switch 1 & 2, Windows PC, Apple, SteamOS, and Android devices.
• Swappable Magnetic ABXY Buttons – Easily switch between Switch and Xbox layouts with included button puller.
• Integrated Charging Dock – A seamlessly integrated charging dock keeps your controller always charged and ready to play. Automatically reconnects when removed from the dock.
• TMR Joysticks & Trigger Mode Switch – Equipped with high-precision TMR joysticks with 12-bit ADC sampling chip. Easily switch between linear Hall Effect triggers and non-linear tactile triggers for optimal control across different gaming scenarios.
• Includes 2 Pro-level back buttons, extra R4/L4 bumpers for quick reactions, a tactile D-pad, 3 custom profiles, and 2 ball-top joystick caps.
