Our verdict first, then the specs side by side.

Our verdict

8Bitdo Sn30 Pro Bluetooth Controller for… is our pick.

For most 2026 buyers, especially anyone with a PC, Mac, Steam Deck or Raspberry Pi emulation box, the 8BitDo SN30 Pro is the better controller, because it officially lists far more platforms than the Lite 2.

Buy the 8BitDo SN30 Pro if you want one Bluetooth pad that officially covers Switch, PC, macOS, iPhone/iPad, Apple TV, Android, Steam Deck and Raspberry Pi, with clickable sticks and dedicated Home and screenshot buttons.
