What I love about this remote over the Switch's actual Pro is overall the price. I have 2 of them. They are fine. A little over priced in my opinion. Don't let the price of this controller fool you though. It is not cheaply made or cumbersome to use. It very much earns the right to call itself a Pro controller.
After that what I love is the design, and colors. As you can see I got the Game Boy design one, because it looks awesome. There's also a SNES colored one I would have gotten but I have their original Pro in that color and I wanted to change it up a bit. The black is nice but it uses Xbox colors for the button letters and I personally don't like it as much as it clashes to me with the SNES inspired controller design.
Also I like that the sticks have more resistance than the Switch Pro controllers. The Switch Pro sticks are super loose so precise controls are a little harder to accomplish. Also for me personally I hate how far the face buttons stick out from the Switch Pro casing and this is more in line with the near perfect SNES controller. This controller also to me has a much better, more responsive D-pad. Keep in mind this controller uses the Dualshock style of having the sticks be at the bottom and not off set like and Xbox controller. If you don't like that or can't get accustomed to it, then the Switch Pro may be more for you as that is offset.
Now what is great is being able to customize the buttons and the new back buttons from an app on your phone! It's so much better than having to connect it to a PC, which works but is more cumbersome. You can assign them any way you like and even save 3 configurations onto the controller itself. Easy to switch between with a press of a button. Which also reminds me they made the ability to change from working on a Switch, Android, PC, and Mac from a button combination to a simple toggle located at the bottom of the remote which is a nice touch.
The difference between this and the Pro 1 is the back buttons. Me, as I am now spoiled from the Xbox Elite Series 2, if I can have a controller with back buttons, I want that one. I have mine set up to act like thumbstick presses. If I never have to click in sticks again, I will be a happy man. You can however customize them to be anything even a macro for a set of button presses if you want.
Like every 8bitdo controller I own, it works well, is responsive and they have good battery life. The best thing about this version is it has an included battery pack, but you can remove and put regular AA batteries if you really want to do that. It just gives you so many options. For the price, there isn't anything better.
Oh before I forget, yes it does have motion inside if you use it on your Switch for games that support it like Borderlands Legendary Collection, Splatoon 2, Mario 3D Land among others.

I've been a fan of 8BitDo for a while now. They put out some really impressive third party hardware that rivals most of Nintendo's own solutions. The SF30 Pro has been my go to controller for emulation and platformers in general on PC and I've used it for years and it even survived acetone and soda being spilled onto it.
The Pro 2 is no different. It's an amazing controller that just feels right in the hands, almost like a mixture of the PS4 and Switch Pro controllers. The buttons are nice and responsive and the D-Pad has a nice classic feel to it, great for playing retro games. The textured grip introduced on the back is also a nice addition and just makes the controller feel more solid. The added buttons on the handle are also a welcome addition and useful for programming simple macros or even turbo functions. If you're worried about accidently pressing them they are turned off by default on the main profile and will only be active while switching profiles that you've customized on the new Ultimate Software which I'll talk about later.
Some extra features added on this controller are the ability to change the input type on the fly with the switch on the back, a much welcome addition that simplifies the previous task of holding down start with a combination of buttons to activate a specific input. The rechargeable battery pack is also removable and replaceable with two AA batteries, (something that Microsoft should have been doing for years <_<)
My only complaints on the hardware of the controller are that it is using a hexagonal screw on the outside. Over the lifetime of a controller it's very possible to spill something in it on accident or have it accumulate dirt, sweat and dust. Most of these problems are easily fixable by just opening up the controller and cleaning out the dirty area with some rubbing alcohol (I had to clean some sticky triggers on one of my SF30s which required taking the controller apart). It's a minor complaint and it's easy enough to get a screwdriver to work with it but it would be nice to just have a philips head to save the hassle.
I'd like to mention that when I first hooked the controller up to my Switch I noticed significant input lag, I tested it with my PC and noticed none. I emailed support about it and within a ridiculously fast 10 minutes was emailed a firmware update that fixed any issues which garners a 10/10 in support and responsiveness and has made me a loyal customer for life for certain.
The last thing to mention is the Ultimate Software. It's usable on your phone and PC and shines the best when tweaking around with how the controller works on the Switch. You can create up to 3 custom profiles (with there always being a fourth default profile) using the app and switch between them on the fly with a button on the front. The app connects in my experience almost seamlessly to the controller through bluetooth and when you are finished tinkering with your settings will give you the option to flip back to the Switch mode and start playing. I spent some time messing with macros for Smash Brothers and was amazed at how easy it was to work with. There are a few bugs with the software but as I'm writing this review the controller has just released so they are certain to be ironed out in updates if they are as vigilant as they were about sending my firmware update.
Overall it's just a nice, solid controller with some neat bells and whistles at a great price. Any complaints I have are minor like not being able to wake a Switch from sleep but it's certainly nothing major. If you're in the market for a new controller I'd definitely suggest picking this one up.

Respecto a las funciones y su uso, este en especial, el Pro 2, cada vez me ha hecho más feliz.
NINTENDO SWITCH: de entrada con la consola para la que fue hecho, me ha acompañado bastante bien en la hora de comida en la oficina en juegos como los Mega Man que pueden ser de uso rudo, o cuando todos juegan y faltan controles, en Super Smash Bros, responde bien, se siente muy comodo y cuenta con giroscopio para Gyro Aiming, pero no cuenta con NFC y no puede activar el Switch con el botón de Home.
PC / STEAM: la razón por la que compré este control fue para jugar Final Fantasy XIV, pues los controles de Microsoft de Xbox son caros y frágiles, el 8bitdo Pro 2 no me ha fallado, los pads de abajo que pueden ser mapeados por App a los botones que quieras y me han servido de mucho a lo largo de todo End Walker, incluido el contenido mas difícil, de la misma forma lo he utilizado en varios juegos de Steam sin problemas.
ANDROID: una vez que conseguí la base para celular, a veces coloco el teléfono solo tenerlo cómodamente a la mano con Discord (Final Fantasy XIV) o lo he utilizado para jugar ports como Dead Cells o SaGa Frontier, bastante útil, y al ser ajustable, puedes jugar acostado sin doblar mucho la cabeza.
MANTENIMIENTO: desafortunada mente, si he tirado este control y si sufrió daños, sin embargo solo fue que la membrana del Shoulder Buton "R" se rasgó y se sentía suave o se atoraba, sin embargo en una grata y feliz sorpresa, resulta que los fabricantes, 8bitdo, manejan una tienda OFICIAL en Aliexpress por la cuál pude conseguir la membrana directamente de ellos para cambiarla, la única queja al respecto es que tarda mucho y seria preferente que su tienda igual vendiera esas cosas por Amazon, pero sabiendo esto, puedo decir que no me preocupa que alguna de las piezas falle.
Si no cuentan con la habilidad para cambiar estas piezas por su cuenta, puedo decir que abrirlo y manipularlo no fue tan difícil, por lo que su técnico se confianza de seguro lograra hacerlo de forma rapida, con la precaución de que lleva un cable de listón uniendo las placas superior e inferior del control y que se puede jalar por accidente al abrirlo (aun que tiene un largo muy comodo), fuera de eso, no tiene resortes o piezas sueltas de inmediato que se puedan perder al abrirlo.
100% recomendable, muy agradable a la vista, funcional y cómodo.
