The 8BitDo Pro 2 is a series of controllers released by 8BitDo since April 12, 2021.
Essentially an updated, pro-oriented version of the 8BitDo SN30 Pro+. Compared to its predecessor, it features two remappable back buttons, a removable battery pack that can be swapped out for two AA batteries, and instead uses a dedicated profile button located on the front of the controller. Customizing the built-in profiles can be done via 8BitDo's own Ultimate Software and, for the Xbox-compatible model, on Android, iOS, and the Microsoft Store app on machines running Windows 10/11.
The controller was first released as the PC/Switch/Android/iOS-compatible model, available in a Game Boy-inspired "G Classic" style, a PlayStation-inspired "Gray Edition" style, and black. An Xbox-compatible model was later released on December 8, 2021 as the Pro 2 Wired Controller for Xbox, available only in black; a wireless version of the same model was later released in 2023, but lacks the removable battery pack. Another wired PC/Switch-compatible model was later released on February 28, 2022 as the Pro 2 Wired Controller, available in "G Classic" and "Gray Edition" styles. The PC/Switch/Android/iOS-compatible model, while not compatible with Xbox consoles and lacking both the impulse triggers and a 3.5mm audio jack, it features the ability to change between Switch, Apple, DirectInput, and XInput modes via a mode slider switch located behind the controller rather than using a button combination when connecting the controller via USB-C or Bluetooth from its predecessors.
The Pro 2 received two translucent Special Edition variants in purple and black colors released on September 22, 2022.
All three models are native XInput devices on PC, meaning they are supported on games that utilize the XInput API. The Xbox-compatible model has support for impulse triggers and audio passthrough, while the Switch-compatible models have macro function and the first model is capable of switching to DirectInput mode by sliding the mode switch to D. While the hard-wired Xbox-compatible model has Bluetooth connectivity, it is only for customizing built-in profiles via the Ultimate Software on Android and iOS.
