Pro 3 fell from couch, face buttons flew right off
I know people have been concerned about how well the magnetic face buttons in the pro 3 would be at staying in and it just happened to me. Fell off the arm rest of my couch and the buttons all popped off and were found about a foot from the controller. Thankfully no damage to the buttons or the cont

Best controller for SF6 on Switch 2: 8BitDo Pro 3 or Ultimate 2?
If it’s mainly for street fighter why not look at the M30? Dpad on that is top notch. Not sure if the pro 3’s dpad feels the same as the 8bitdo sn30pro but I absolutely hated it, felt super inconsistent. No comment on ultimate 2

WHy do i have to use a dongle? (8bitdo Ultimate 2 wireless)
Idk why 8bitdo went backwards with their newer controllers the Pro 2 (PlayStation layout) was perfect but now the Pro 3 and all the ultimate controllers have dongles and non removable batteries and charging docks and are more expensive.

Ultimate 2C sticks are rough and getting stuck
the 2C is actually not very good quality, I love other 8bitdo stuff like the pro 3 but the 2C is cheaply made because it's priced so low

Should I buy the Steam Controller for gyro or are there better options?
I’ve tried a few controllers with gyro on Rivals (Dual sense, dual sense edge, 8bitdo pro 3, Nintendo pro controller, and steam deck gyro) and the Steam Deck’s gyro has always felt a bit better than all my other controllers with the least amount of configuration and it is my preferred way to use gyr

Cheap alternative to not hear the clack-clack noise from analog sticks
Analog sticks were never a problem for me. I HAD an 8bitdo Pro 3 and the BUTTONS were a big problem for me with how loud they were. Compared to the Steam Deck and Steam Controller, those two have pretty quiet buttons. But nice hack though.

Pro 3 vs Pro 2 vs Ultimate 2; anyone own all 3?
The Pro 3 has the same clicky dpad has the Ultimate C. The Pro 3 dpad is a downgrade from the great Pro 2 dpad. You have to be very deliberate to do shoryukens on the Pro 3 and accuracy is much worse than Pro 2. Pro 3 dpad is too stiff, too clicky, false diagonals, lack of pivot, and fatiguing. It's
