8BitDo SN30 Pro+ The 8Bit Do Pro 2 steps into 2023 with a retro aesthetic and design, reminiscent of the 90s. It comes with a dedicated 8bitdo Ultimate App, which is available on Mac. That means you can customize button mapping and placements to your heart’s content. What you get is a controller that fits the bill. It features a responsive d-pad with the right amount of pivot, the analog sticks are durable and the face button click sound is satisfying. If you’re the type of person who wants to emulate some retro games on your MacBook or try out some newer fighting games, then the 8Bit Pro 2 is worth the salt. Mac Specs: macOS 13.2 or above.

Much of the technology from its input methods, however, comes from the Steam Controller. While it’s no longer readily available, the Steam Controller is impressively versatile thanks to remappable buttons, and two clickable trackpads that make even playing some strategy games more comfortable. There’s even a gyroscope inside to allow for tilt controls. It connects via Bluetooth. Mac Specs: macOS 10.8 and above. Check price: https://amzn.to/3wWpjth
