Product Overview
The 8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth Gamepad in G Classic is a multi-platform wireless controller designed for Nintendo Switch systems, Windows computers, SteamOS devices, Android devices, and supported Apple platforms. Its control layout combines symmetrical analog sticks with a traditional directional pad and configurable buttons.
The controller uses TMR joysticks and Hall Effect triggers. A trigger mode switch allows the triggers to operate as linear Hall Effect controls or shorter tactile inputs.

Wireless connections include Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz operation, depending on the platform. Wired USB operation is also supported on compatible systems. The package includes a charging dock that provides a storage and charging location when the controller is not being used.
