8bitdo Pro 2 controller with multiple Android devices (lemmy.world)

Hopefully someone on here has the 8bitdo Pro 2 controller and can answer my question: can it connect to Android-devices on more than just the A-channel on the 4-way bluetooth connection? I have two Android devices that i would like to have connected so I can just change the 4-way bluetooth slider to connect, is this possible? Can Android devices also connect to the D- or X-input channel without issue?

are you sure that the pro 2 has a 4-way connection?

i read it as just a simple way of changing what mode the controller runs in, normally you have to select those different modes by holding down button combinations when enabling pairing mode. to me it looks like they just made those button combinations a switch. so it's a switch, and only pairs to a single device.

i might be wrong, i don't have one

Each mode pairs with different device. I use mine for connecting to PC through Xbox mode, Android mode to my phone.
