![]() ![]() The Apple mode is where things get a little interesting. While the face buttons were the wrong letter, it didn't stop the controller from performing perfectly. X-Input worked a treat, connected right away as an Xbox One S remote, and when I went into Microsoft's Windows Cloud Gaming, I was able to play a small game buried deep in the Indie section called Infinity Halo (or something like that) without a single hitch. ![]() Switch mode speaks for itself, and while the Direct mode is primarily to be used for Android devices, it also pairs up in Windows just fine, although the button mappings weren't correct, as expected. The controller has 4 input modes: (S)witch, (A)pple, (D)irect Input, and (X)-Input and all work either wired or over Bluetooth wireless. The controller allows you to switch between 3 custom profiles for each of its input types and allows you to store button remaps or macros, providing a fantastic option for games that don't allow remapping or to automate repetitive tasks. The Pro 2 boasts a 'classic' SNES style face and body with two comfortable grips and a slew of features, including a premium feeling rumble (non-HD), customizable grip buttons, gyro-controls, modern USB-C play/charge port, and comes packed with a hefty USB-C cable and 1,000mAh rechargeable battery pack (or use 2 AAs). That's why, when I received the 8BitDo Pro 2, I was really excited No longer would I have to play musical controllers, I could keep one remote out on the table and I only had to manage the battery level of one device now. Firing up something I haven't played in a while can often lead to frustration as I go to hunt down batteries or the appropriate charging cable and sit at an awkward angle as I play while holding the remote off to one side so the cable can reach. So get ready to blast off in a rocket fuelled Starfield performance preview.As a multi-platform user, I know the struggles of constantly having to shuffle between different controllers every time I change consoles or devices. We also compare the improvements over the previous showing, enhancements within the engine, and much more. ![]() ![]() The biggest question after the show(s) was: why is it 30fps on Xbox Series X and Series S and not 60fps? In this IGN Performance preview, we dive into the details shared by the team, the revealed PC minimum and recommended specifications, and how the Creation Engine 2 works, comparing the previous games to gauge some of the potential reasons why the team might have chosen 30fps. With Starfield being the center of the Xbox 2023 Showcase last week, Bethesda gave us a deep dive into one of the biggest games this generation. For Nintendo Switch owners, if you don't want to pony up $70 for the official Pro controller, this is the next best thing. None of those features are worth the extra $30 though, and the ability to reprogram buttons on this controller is something that the Switch Pro controller can't emulate. That includes the ability to save multiple profiles, a handy little switch that lets you instantly change from Switch to PC pairing, and two additional rear paddle buttons that are also programmable.Ĭompared to the official Switch Pro controller, it is missing a few features like HD rumble (although it does have standard rumble), amiibo sensing, and the ability to wake the Switch from sleep. The 8BitDo Pro 2 also brings a couple of new features that weren't present in the previous generation Pro+ model. The D-pad and analog joysticks react precisely, and the buttons have nice clicky tactile feedback. It's lighter than the Switch Pro controller but it still feels very solid and comfortable in your hands. In terms of fit and feel, the 8BitDo Pro 2 is excellent. It is powered by a 1,000mAh rechargeable battery, but you have the option to use two AA batteries in a pinch instead. It also supports rumble and motion controls on the Switch. The SN30 Pro 2 supports button remapping, adjustable analog sticks, hair triggers, and macros. At $30 cheaper than the price of a Switch Pro controller, it has a lot going for it. It uses wireless Bluetooth so it works with the Switch out of the box with no dongle required. The 8BitDo Pro 2 controller is compatible with both the Nintendo Switch console as well as any Windows, Mac, Android, Steam, or even Raspberry Pi device. ![]()
