Retro Soul. Next-Level Control! ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Classic Looks. Modern Gaming Magic. Meet Your New Favourite Controller!

Some controllers are made for casual gaming. Others are built for serious players.

And then there's the 8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth Gamepad Controller, which decided to bring the best of both worlds together!

Combining iconic retro-inspired styling with next-generation TMR joysticks, interchangeable ABXY buttons, adjustable trigger modes, programmable controls, and a charging dock, this beauty is ready for just about any gaming adventure.

Whether you're exploring Hyrule, battling through your Steam library, enjoying PC gaming, or playing compatible games on your mobile device, the Pro 3 is ready to join the action.

Old-school gaming charm. New-school technology. Absolutely lekker! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

TMR Joysticks. Goodbye, Drift Drama! ๐ŸŽฏ

Joystick drift? Nobody invited you!

The Pro 3 features advanced TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) joysticks, delivering impressive precision and responsiveness through magnetic sensing technology.

Unlike traditional contact-based joysticks, TMR sensors help reduce wear-related drift while offering excellent sensitivity and efficient power consumption.

And with a 12-bit ADC sampling chip, the controller is designed to capture detailed joystick movements for smooth, accurate control.

Whether you're lining up that perfect shot, navigating tricky platforming sections, or making tiny adjustments during a race, these joysticks are ready for action.

More precision. Less drift drama. Maximum gaming happiness! ๐Ÿ†

Magnetic ABXY Buttons. Switch It Up! ๐Ÿงฒ

Ever switched between Nintendo and Xbox-style controllers and suddenly forgotten where the buttons are?

We've all been there!

Thankfully, 8BitDo has come up with something seriously clever.

The Pro 3 features magnetic ABXY buttons, allowing you to physically rearrange the button layout between Switch-style and Xbox-style configurations.

And yes, there's even a dedicated button puller included to make swapping them easier.

Whether you're a Nintendo fan or more comfortable with Xbox-style button positions, you can customise the controller's physical layout to suit your preference.

Just remember to select the appropriate controller configuration for your platform too.

One controller. Two familiar layouts. No more button confusion! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Trigger Mode Switch. Two Ways to Play! โšก

Different games call for different controls.

And the Pro 3 is ready to adapt!

Featuring switchable trigger modes, this clever controller lets you choose between:

  • Linear Hall Effect Triggers โ€“ Smooth analogue travel for games requiring progressive input, such as racing.
  • Tactile Trigger Mode โ€“ A shorter, click-like response for fast actions in supported games.

Want smooth acceleration around a racetrack?

Linear mode has you covered!

Need quick trigger actions during a fast-paced game?

Switch over to tactile mode!

Because one trigger feel doesn't have to fit every game! ๐ŸŽฎ

Fast Bumpers. Extra Buttons. Extra Awesome! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Sometimes your fingers could use a little extra help.

That's why the Pro 3 comes equipped with R4 and L4 Fast Bumpers, giving you additional controls right where you need them.

These buttons support convenient customisation without requiring software for their basic configuration.

Assign supported commands to suit your playstyle and keep frequently used actions within easy reach.

Need quicker access to your favourite move?

Sorted!

Want to keep your thumbs on the joysticks during intense gameplay?

Now we're talking!

More buttons. More control. Fewer excuses when you lose! ๐Ÿ˜

Pro-Level Back Buttons. Your Secret Weapons! ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ

The extra controls don't stop there!

The Pro 3 also includes programmable pro-level back buttons, offering even more flexibility for personalised gaming.

Whether you're pulling off tricky combinations, navigating complex games, or simply prefer having additional controls beneath your fingers, these buttons are designed to make your life easier.

Combine them with the Fast Bumpers and custom controller profiles, and you've got a setup that can be tailored to your favourite games.

Your controller. Your shortcuts. Your rules!

Charging Dock Included. Always Ready for Action! ๐Ÿ”‹

Nobody likes picking up their controller only to discover the battery is flat.

Especially when your mates are already waiting in the lobby!

Thankfully, the Pro 3 includes a dedicated charging dock, giving your controller a convenient place to recharge between sessions.

Simply return it to the dock when you're finished gaming.

When you're ready to play again, the controller supports automatic reconnection when removed from the dock in the appropriate setup.

It's neat, practical, and looks fantastic on your desk.

Less charging drama. More gaming. Everybody wins! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Steam Optimised. Your PC Gaming Library Awaits! ๐Ÿ’ป

Got a Steam library that's bigger than your available free time?

Join the club!

The 8BitDo Pro 3 has been optimised for Steam, with controller inputs designed to work smoothly within supported Steam gaming environments.

Whether you're enjoying indie platformers, massive adventures, racing games, or your favourite controller-friendly PC titles, the Pro 3 is ready to get involved.

And with its familiar layout and responsive controls, jumping into your next gaming session feels natural.

Now you just need to decide which of your 200 unplayed games to start first! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Nintendo Switch, Windows & Mobile. Everybody's Invited! ๐Ÿ“ฑ

One controller. Loads of gaming possibilities!

The Pro 3 is designed for compatible gaming setups across Nintendo Switch, Steam, Windows, and supported mobile platforms.

Whether you're gaming on your console, relaxing with your PC, or enjoying controller-compatible games on the go, this versatile gamepad is ready to come along.

Available connection modes and features depend on the device and operating system, so make sure your chosen platform supports the controller.

One fantastic controller. Multiple gaming adventures. Maximum convenience!

Signal Extension. Stronger Connections. Smoother Gaming! ๐Ÿ“ก

When you're in the middle of an intense game, the last thing you need is a controller that struggles to maintain its connection.

The Pro 3 includes a signal extension solution with an updated USB-C adapter, designed to provide flexible connectivity for supported gaming setups.

It's another thoughtful addition to help make your gaming experience more convenient.

Because gaming should be about defeating enemies, not fighting connection issues!

Swappable Ball-Top Joystick Caps. Retro Fun Included! ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ

Sometimes it's the little details that make a controller truly special.

And 8BitDo clearly knows it!

The Pro 3 includes two swappable ball-top joystick caps, giving you a fun way to personalise the appearance and feel of your controller.

They're a playful nod to classic arcade-style controls, bringing even more retro personality to this modern gamepad.

Swap them in when you fancy something different, or keep the standard caps for a more traditional feel.

A little arcade nostalgia never hurt anyone! ๐Ÿ‘พ

Refined Bumpers & D-Pad. Clicky Goodness! ๐ŸŽฏ

There's something wonderfully satisfying about a controller that just feels right.

The Pro 3 features recalibrated bumpers and a refined D-pad, designed to deliver light, tactile feedback with smooth operation.

Whether you're navigating menus, pulling off fighting-game combos, or enjoying a classic platformer, every press is designed to feel controlled and satisfying.

Sometimes the smallest improvements make the biggest difference during a gaming session.

Click. Jump. Dodge. Victory. Repeat!

Important Things to Know! ๐Ÿ’ก

Compatibility, connectivity methods, and available features vary by platform. Not every game supports external controllers or all programmable inputs.

Magnetic ABXY button swapping changes the physical button arrangement. Software or platform configuration may also be required for the desired button mapping.

TMR magnetic sensing helps reduce wear-related joystick drift but does not eliminate every possible source of drift or wear.

Advanced button mapping, macros, vibration settings, and custom profiles may require supported versions of 8BitDo Ultimate Software. Certain functions may be restricted in competitive games or tournaments.
