8Bitdo Lite 2 Bluetooth Gamepad for Switch, Switch Lite, Android and Raspberry Pi (Pink)

Great mini travel controller very reputable and would recommend over other brands! I love all of the 8bitdo controllers I have bought. They have so many different controllers with different features such as this one the LTE 2 that comes with the dual joysticks and they even have ones designed for persons with limited mobility. I also have the keychain sized one and it works great as well, and it can switch the arrows to work as a left joystick with just a click of a button. That was an extremely innovative idea for such a tiny controller. There is absolutely no input lag and the battery last extremely long. I keep it in my purse and use it when on the go and haven't had to recharge yet! It also saves battery by shutting off automatically when not in use. I recommend making sure you get the one that works with the platforms you intend to play on. This controller works great on my android phone so I can play on the go, but it does not work with my PC laptop. The keychain size ones do work great with my PC and android phone so I would love to find an LTE 2 that also works with PC. I would love to collect all of the mini controllers! They are great for my kids when we travel and go on vacation or trips to their grandparent's house. They save room in their travel bags but still work just as great as the full-sized ones.

I already had an 8BitDo Micro that I use with my Steam Deck and MBP for gaming while traveling. But...some games really need the analog sticks and more buttons than the Micro controller can provide.So I bought the Lite 2. And it's great! Compared to the Micro, It's a lot easier on the hands. The Micro is a great controller; it's tiny and light, which is always good for travel. But it's not something I'd recommend using for extended amounts of time. I have small hands as it is, but even for me, using the Micro for long periods cramps my hands.But the Lite 2 is much better. It's still significantly smaller than a regular console controller, but it feels much more natural. I had no problems using it to game for awhile.As far as setup goes, it was simple connecting it to my Steam Deck or MBP via Bluetooth or even via USB-C cable (though you might want a longer cable than what comes in the box). Both recognized it as a game controller immediately.Do keep in mind that the ABXY buttons are "built-in" to use the Nintendo layout, where A is the rightmost button and is "OK/confirm," while B is the bottom-most button and is "cancel/go back."I'm used to using Playstation controllers, where X is the bottom-most button and is "OK/confirm," and Circle is the rightmost button, which is "cancel/go back." Basically backwards of Nintendo. Same goes for X/Y and Square/Triangle; these are reversed.On the Steam Deck, there's a simple one click option in controller settings to reverse all that. But on other devices, you might have to remap the buttons in the system settings or game settings. You can't force or reconfigure the Lite 2 itself to NOT use the Nintendo layout. Just something to be aware of if you're like me. If you're unable to remap in software, it's not a huge deal and you'll get used to using the Nintendo layout real quick.Overall, it's a solid buy.

This is a lovely little Nintendo Switch controller. Fits in my pocket, and even has full gyro controls (important for some games like Splatoon) as well as rumble support. It won't wake the switch (unfortunately), but it connects just fine to the Switch when it's awake. This is by design (controller's manual mentions it won't wake the switch), but it's a shame because some of 8bitdo's other controllers can (such as the Ultimate). If your main motivation for purchasing this is to have another Switch controller it can't be beat for the price.For PC and Android, it's still a fairly good controller, but there are some caveats I describe below.I prefer to use the controller in Switch-mode on my PC rather than the Direct-Input mode as the rumble and motion control feature is only available in Switch mode. Direct-Input mode does have a turbo button feature (holding a button and pressing the "star" button toggles it for the held button), but frankly I prefer having gyro controls and rumble.PC use is a bit tricky, as the controller doesn't have any X-Input support, but there's lots of ways around that. Steam natively supports Switch Pro Controllers, so all Steam games can work with it if you pair it in Switch-mode. If you want to use it for a non-Steam game, there's an open-source program you can download called "GloSI" that can provide Steam Input to non-Steam games.One quirk I ran into is when pairing with my PC for the first time: I had to turn off the controller after pairing and turn it back on before it completely worked. Seems to be the case every time I re-pair, so that's a slight bummer, but an easy work-around.For Android it's more of a mixed bag. Switch-mode did pair with my phone but didn't work very well. So Direct-Input is definitely preferred with Android. However, in Direct-Input mode, default Android button assignments are technically "correct" but not how they should be (in my opinion); pushing A is "technically" the A button, so it's labelled correctly. The problem, however, is most people prefer button assignments to be XBox based. For example, an XBox controller has its A button where the switch has its B button. When using other controllers on Android, such as the DS4 or DualSense, the button assignments match an XBox controller layout. So, for this controller, what I feel should be the default, is B=A, A=B, Y=X and X=Y. Yes, that would mean the labels don't match, but the "position" of all the buttons would match an XBox layout, which is what everybody is used to.However, with the 8bitdo Light 2, the A-B and X-Y buttons are swapped from their XBox positions on Android with Direct-Input. For a lot of games this isn't too big a deal as you can change controls in their settings, but there are games where this isn't supported. For instance, in Netflix's release of the mobile GTA games, they only permit limited pre-set layout arrangements, and none of them solve the A-B, X-Y swapping.It's apparently possible to fix this if you have a rooted Android phone, but sadly that's not an option for me (and countless others as well).I still love this controller, even for Android. The price is hard to beat, and it does indeed work on Switch, PC, and Android. I would give it 5 stars if the Android button swapping issue and Switch wake-up were fixed.

Love the controller! Does the job nicely and is compact! Connected to my phone with ease!
