  • Got mine for 50ish years ago probably hold if you can

    • yeah, i've been looking to get one of these recently and doing my usual ozb research it seems the historical low for this device was about $30-40ish (not sure if that was the old or new Pro 2 with the hall-effect joysticks).

      The waiting continues

      • Muat be the old…

      • The cheapest the Pro 2 has been is $39.50 which lasted about ~10min before it went OOS.

        The usual OzBargain price is ~$50-$60.


        EDIT: Cheapest was this deal for $35.50, but it's for direct import stock.

      • Yeah I remember paying $35 for mine. Amazing that whats considered a bargain is almost twice the price.

    Note: these are the 'old' Pro 2.

    The new Pro 2 has been upgraded with Hall-Effect Joysticks and still full price:

    • +1

      And they keep the product name the same… :(

      • Yep not a fan of the confusion.

        Should have called it the Pro 2S or something.

    • Are Hall effect worth an upgrade if you play older console games or does it have all round benefits ?

      • Probably only worth it if you intend on using it a lot or already have drift.

  • What do you pair these game pads to?

    • +3

      The Pro 2 connects to almost anything what supports Bluetooth Controllers.

      For example: Switch, Steam Deck, PC, Android, iOS/Apple, Raspberry Pi, etc.

    • These are excellent for emulators on pc & steam deck/ Retroid pocket 4 pro and mini consoles (Sony ps1 classic and mega drive 1 & 2 mini)

      I think can be used on iPhone/ iPad/ switch/ Apple TV as well.well

    Works great with Tesla

      So you can drive your 3 year old around?

  • FYI for anyone who doesn't notice the button being labelled differently compared to XBOX.

    • It's an universal controller, it's not specifically for xbox.

    Sorry to hijack this thread, but comments are turned off in the old thread, and I couldn't PM you. Just wondering how your TCL P745 Tv is treating you a few months down the track? (thinking of grabbing one with JB's 15% off deal)

    • Still working fine as it did before, no issues. If I had any complaints it would be that there could be more fine grain control over picture modes (eg PC mode has a sharpening filter on it that can produce a distinct over-sharpening pattern and can't be changed, game mode obviously turns off some motion compensation settings blabla and none of this is really accessible).

      I gave up on game mode for a bit til I realised it was interacting poorly with NVIDIA scaling modes, if the tv is in game mode, NVIDIA sees it as a 1440p native monitor and had its own idea on how best to scale 1080p on it, and it looked garbage til I looked at the scaling settings. 1080 at 120fps and linear scaled on the tv is more feasible for my PC to pull off and looks much better now.

      That's about it. I found PC mode has really quite accurate colour and was good enough to use as a temporary Photoshop rig while my photo monitor was in a replacement saga with Dell.

      I don't use it as an app tv or rely on the speakers or get sore about it not having 4k120 and I think those are probably the only real weaknesses of it. And for like 600 or whatever after the cashback card, I can hardly complain about that.

      • Great Intel mate. Thanks.
        So don't use the Google TV at all..not that I would either to be honest.
