Leaked images of Xbox Elite 3 controller

I recently bought an 8BitDo Pro 3 and that thing is so freaking good. TMR sticks, a bunch of extra buttons, multiple profiles, swappable ABXY buttons, a nice dock. And all that for just 60€.

My Pro 3 Green button disintegrated

Recently got a Pro 3, which is my first 8BitDo controller. I absolutely love it, but like a few people on here already know, the green "A" button just disintegrated out of nowhere.

I already reached out to 8BitDo for a replacement and have the button with the printed A on temporarily. Just intere

Steam Controller: The Ars Technica review | Valve’s new hardware is solid but might not justify its $99 price.

Comparing it with the 8bitdo Pro 3, the Steam Controller does not sound like a good value. The 8bitdo Pro 3 is like $58 all the time on Amazon but $50 or less with discounts on AliExpress. Things it has over the Steam Controller: Easily swappable buttons A little lever that turns the analog triggers

Was für Controller könnt ihr empfehlen?

8BitDo Pro 3. Recht günstig und hat sogar Hall Effect Sticks. Absolute geiles Teil.

Recommendation for kids?

8bitdo has pretty affordable controllers. the ultimate 2c bluetooth controllers work pretty well, aren't that expensive, and feel comfortable (though they might be too big for kids' hands? not sure). they also have more expensive and full featured controllers like the pro3, but if you're getting one

Why Steam Controller (2026) has no competition at $99 and what big reviewers simply don't get

8bitdo Pro 3 and Ultimate 2 satisfy all those requirements for less than that price. (Well, two of the macro buttons are on the shoulder and 2 are on the back, but I'm not sure how much we're splitting hairs here.)

Why are my controllers doing this?? Switch

Stick drift unfortunately. I’d recommend getting a 3rd party controller with Hall effect or TMR joy sticks since those are a lot less susceptible to getting drift. I personally use an 8bitdo pro 3 it has TMR sticks (better than Hall effect) it comes with a charging dock swappable face buttons and a

Pro 3 Bluetooth vs ultimate 2 Bluetooth

Can't speak for the ultimate 2, but I just got the pro3 after researching it to death for a week or two and I have to say I'm impressed. Functionality trumps LED bullshit for me personally, but depends on what you're looking for exactly. Face buttons are a little clicky and loud, and the ps-style st

Steam Controller overpriced? Yeah nah.

I have a nice collection of 8bitdo so I agree with you there, however their Pro3 range is something like AUD$120. The Steam Controller is in the same ballpark.
