8Bitdo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller for Windows PC and Android, with 1000Hz Polling Rate, Hall Effect Joysticks and Hall Triggers, and Remappable L4/R4 Bumpers (Purple)

The controller has a nice, solid feel, a built in rechargeable battery and high quality buttons and Hall effect sticks and triggers, for better accuracy, tighter deadzones and greater durability.Colours look sharp, the 2.4 ghz receiver offers 1000Hz polling for near latency free wireless control, and if that's still not good enough, you can connect via the included usb type A-C cable. and for other devices, the included bluetooth makes it incredibly versatile.Only small complaint, and it's not really 8bitdo's fault - Is that the controller doesn't support Xbox. It's still an incredible controller for the cost, but if it had that, it would be absolutely unassailable on all fronts.

Got this controller to go with my Steam Deck living room setup - the 2.4ghz adapter is fully compatible and works out of the box.I've been having issues with Bluetooth signal strength and latency recently so decided to get a controller with 2.4ghz support, the difference is night and day in responsiveness.The sticks are hall effect so you're able to turn the deadzones all the way down for maximum responsiveness. The buttons and triggers feel pretty standard which is a good thing, no cheap hori style wobbly buttons and short throw triggers here.The only downside to this controller is no gyro - bummer for certain types of games (Looking at you Quantic Dream) but for 90% of games this is no issue since standard Xbox controllers also lack gyro support.Colour is nice, but maybe more options would be appreciated, I'd like a white one to match my desk setup.

For the price this controller can’t be beat.The shape is different from the normal xbox controller. The angle of grip is slightly narrower, for some this is good for some this is really uncomfortable, for me i’d say it’s the same just a slight adjustment. (might aswell buy and then return if it’s not for you). i’d say women or people with smaller hands might find this more comfortable than a normal Xbox controller.When i first unboxed the controller the right trigger was in a weird state where it was only off or on at 50% of the way. i unplugged it and reconnected it and this fixed, so maybe some weird one off but.The software could be better, but the hope is you don’t need it.D-Pad is slightly squishier than on a normal xbox controller, but it’s not unstable so not really a problem.ABXY buttons are less linear than normal xbox controller, they feel more like a membrane key where they hit a force threshold and collapse, but they still feel responsive. Sometimes it’s easy to not lift the button back up the whole way when double pressing it for a very quick action which means the button only triggers once, but this feels more like my fault than the controllers.I have dropped the controller once or twice now and it hasn’t fallen apart.My only worry is that the sticks in idle sit very very slightly off angle, obviously games and menus deadzone this, but my worry is that i’ve not found a way to re-calibrate the sticks, which is the main point of having hall effect sticks. Maybe this is done automatically, either way this should be communicated.

As the craze carries forth from Linus Tech Tips and various Reddit threads about third party controllers, this definitely is worth the buzz.The only two things that made me put it as a backup over the still better Xbox One controller is the more PS4 like controller shape that isn't as comfortable and natural posing as the Xbox One. Its also definitely down to muscle memory so you can definitely get used to the 8Bitdo.Bigger one is lack of Bluetooth support for Windows. Yes I know there's Dinput support but I mean might as well go forth with Xinput.But hey, for the price of a wireless controller, great value.

I bought this controller as a cheap alternative to the Xbox controller, and I've not gone back to an Xbox controller since I've bought this three months ago. I've broken the rb on every type of Xbox controller since the 360, and honestly I still like them all, but the 8bitdo hasn't broken and I'm really pleased with the build quality.Works with emulators RetroArch, XeniaCanary and Xemu without any messing, and PCSX2 after setting it up.

I bought this for my wife as she feels the Xbox controller was too big for her hands. I first heard about this specific controller via LTT.She had issues with the rechargeable battery pack not working, buttons being too heavy to press. Once she started using the 8Bitdo, she fell in love instantly.She immediately noticed the improved response times, the better joysticks for aiming. She also likes that L3+R3 are not too heavy to press vs the Xbox controller.For reference, she doesn't like the switch pro controller and the PS5 controller as well. So, if you have small hands this controller is for you.

I do enjoy this, it's nice and small and grippy.

A good controller with nice feeling triggers and buttons, connectivity is easy and battery life has been good. Obviously a big issue with controllers is long term durability which I cant comment on as I havent had it long enough, but I am very happy so far.
