I’ve been testing controllers for half a decade, and not a single budget option has impressed me like the 8BitDo Pro 3

8BitDo Pro 3: One-minute review

In the half-decade or so I’ve been testing gaming hardware, I’ve loved almost every 8BitDo product I’ve reviewed. The 8BitDo Pro 3 is no exception. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it’s the best budget-friendly controller on the market today. Yes, even beating out other desirable choices like the GameSir Nova Lite.
