Wireless Game Controller 8BitDo PRO 2 Hall Edition Black — compatible with Switch, PC, Android

The 8BitDo PRO 2 Hall Edition Black is a wireless game controller compatible with Nintendo Switch, PC and Android devices. It features a familiar gamepad layout with dual analog sticks, hybrid D-pad, shoulder and trigger buttons, and wireless connectivity for local play. The Hall Edition variant uses magnet-based Hall effect sensors in the analog sticks to improve precision and reduce drift, while customization options through 8BitDo software allow button remapping, stick sensitivity adjustments and profile storage. The controller supports single-player and multiplayer gaming across supported platforms and is suitable for use with emulators and a wide range of PC titles.

Wireless connectivity delivers flexible placement and comfortable play without cables, and cross-platform compatibility ensures the controller can be used with Switch consoles, Windows and macOS systems, as well as Android devices. Customization via the companion software enables tailored button mapping, adjustable dead zones and multiple stored profiles for different games or systems.

Usage recommendations
