The most pleasant surprise I had with my 8bitdo pro 2 is it works with my switch, PC and Steam deck with a flick of the dual. So in less than a few minutes I can switch from MK8 with 4 controllers, to Sonic All Star Racing on PC, then to Trine on the deck with the same 3 controllers.

For me, this controller (neo Geo pad) worked so much better than anything else out there at the time, short of an arcade stick. The directional pad is what I wish all others would at least attempt to do, rather than four individual buttons.

I've never been more excited for new video game hardware since I was a kid, been begging for this for more than a decade. The superior directional input lives again!

I'm looking forward to this one. I never knew anyone with a NeoGeo growing up. I never have even seen one in person. It'll be awesome to have have a more authentic experience.

Will they ever make a telescopic controller? The options available for this kind of product are very few.

It doesn't. The page says they've built new molds to recreate the original microswtch setup.

The Amazon listing says:

  • Bluetooth (for Android only), 2.4G wireless, or wired connectivity
  • Compatible with Windows and NEOGEO mini via 2.4G adapter/USB cable, and Android via Bluetooth

I don't understand why they didn't make it compatible with Switch and other consoles 8Bit-Do usually supports.

wonder why bluetooth only works for Android?

I thought the protocol was universal

They seem to offer a lot of their controllers in bluetooth or 2.4 ghz . It might be a licensing thing maybe a bluetooth variant will also be released.
