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

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.

I've been using this for a year and more. It works well and has a surprisingly fast connection to every device. It can be used for pretty much every game emulator on a computer and also works with phones. The switch connection is perfect too, but make sure to pair it with a USB first and then unplug it to connect wirelessly.

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.

8BitDo has always had good controllers that work for all kinds of different devices, and the Lite 2 is no exception. It's a little smaller than the Pro 2 in terms of length and height, but a significantly smaller width which makes it great for portability. Buttons are a little on the smaller side, I'd say comparable in size to the buttons on the Zero 2. It does auto connect making it easy to use after you've paired it for the first time as well. Feels somewhat sturdy while still being light. If you're looking for a portable Bluetooth controller that still has all the bells and whistles and are willing to shell out a bit more money (since it is $30), you can't go wrong with the Lite 2.

I bring my Steam Deck to work a lot and wanted an ultra portable controller to keep my setup as small as possible. I understand that the Steam Deck has a controller built into it, but it can get uncomfortable holding it arms up for too long. I mainly use my Steam Deck at work to grind mats on Final Fantasy 14 and wanted to be able to sit back while I have my Steam Deck on it's stand integrated into the case I have on it. So I looked for the smallest bluetooth controller on here and found this little gem. It's a super tiny controller, however you can tell it has a really good build quality and has a good layout. There were some other small controllers I found, but some of them had the trigger and shoulder buttons side-to-side rather than front-to-back like this one. I also like how the d-pad is on the inner bottom side rather than on the outside like the Steam Deck. Joysticks feel very similar to the Joycons, very short travel distance from the center, but decent for the casual gaming I'm doing. Also, if connecting to the Steam Deck run the 8bitdo Lite 2 as a Switch controller (S setting selector in the middle of controller) not the Android setting (D setting selector in the middle of controller), and the Steam Deck will recognize it as a Switch Pro controller. I tried connecting it through the Android bluetooth setting and it had some issues. Took me a minute to realize this, but the charging light is at the top, on the bottom are the lights to show if the controller is on, if bluetooth syncing is on, and what player you are for Switch. I know this was designed mainly for the Switch and the colors were developed for that in mind, but I really wished there were more color options! Other than that I have had no issues with the controller.

For whatever flaws this controller has if any it is well worth getting it, premium feel, me and my friends think they're great! 8bitdo makes really good stuff! 👍

First time ordering an 8BitDo controller, and boy did it disappoint! Super cheaply made. Feels extremely flimsy. Literally, for the first time in my life, decided I didn't want to play Super Mario World BECAUSE I kept missing my mark due to the unresponsiveness of this extremely subpar controller. Tested the controller extensively and discovered that unless you're stomping on the buttons, your inputs will not register. Then, whilst "updating the firmware" is discovered that lightly tapping on the USB-C port area would cause the controller to disconnect. I figure the USB-C port was poorly soldered onto the PCB. They sell this for $30. A $5 price tag might be too high considering lots of people have said it stops working almost immediately.

I’ve been using a few 8BitDo Lite 2s across our Android phones, TV, and the kids' tablets, and they’ve been great. The Bluetooth pairing is quick and actually stays connected, which is a relief when you’re trying to get a game started with the kids. They’re small enough to genuinely fit in a pocket or a small tech bag without any bulk. It’s made a huge difference for traveling; we can just pair two or three to a single tablet or Switch and have a full multiplayer session going anywhere. Despite being so compact, they feel solid and the sticks are responsive. If you need a portable controller that actually works across multiple devices without a headache, these are a win.

Funzionano bene, buona l'ergonomia e la portatilità, la batteria dura a lungo e il colore è molto bello. Con un aggiornamento firmware durato forse un paio di secondi, funzionano perfettamente con NS2. Acquisto must.

Super agréable pour les petites enfants âge de 3 à 7 ans. Idéal pour bien apprendre et commencer à bien manier les touches de la manette. Cela servira à s’adapter aux plus grosses manettes plus tard.

A la altura de los joycons de la switch, un buen mando muy compacto con buena batería y que funciona perfecto en todas las plataformas que he probado (Android, Pc y switch), funciona con rewasd y es tan compacto que lo uso incluso con una sola mano para atajos de teclado en krita, photoshop etc Eso si, no es un mando pro en el sentido de que se nota que los botones, joysticks y demás no son los mejores y la ergonomía no es su punto fuerte, aun así muy buen mando que cumple perfectamente, bien construido y con buenos materiales. Si buscas un mando compacto y que te puedas llevar a cualquier parte es una muy buena opción.

Mooie game controller voor onderweg. Voelt stevig en kan makkelijk worden geconfigureerd met verschillende retro spelcomputers of je mobiel.

Ottimo controller, compatto, leggero, una buona autonomia, bisogna aggiornarlo per farlo funzionare con Switch2. Questo prodotto si sceglie per la compattezza e la compatibilità, portarsi dietro questo è comodissimo, rispetto ad un controller normale, certo si perde qualcosa in confort, non è consigliato per chi ha le mani molto grandi. Per il resto è ok, provato con Pc e Switch 2, e tutto procede per il verso giusto e non costa neanche troppo.
