8BitDo - Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Wireless Gaming Controller for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 - Transparent Black

This controller has been used with a Nintendo switch 1. I am pleased with its quality and value. Pros: It has a quick snappy response with good ergonomics. Pairing the controller to the console was quick and easy. The included thumb sticks grips and high quality charging cable were a pleasant surprise. It is great to use in game. The color scheme and translucent plastic also look great. Battery life is great. Cons: My only complaint is the shake to wake feature. This would be a 5 out of 5 controller if I didn't have to repeatably attempt to shake to wake the controller multiple times before just giving up and getting up to manually turn on the console. The controller can wake the console on the off chance that I shake it just right. I would really prefer something more consistent like a pressing and holding a button to wake the console. For the money: I really can't complain. The physical quality of the buttons and hall effect thumb sticks are outstanding. The responsiveness of the controls are great. I would get gladly this controller again.

For $30 this is an utter steal. The controller itself feels snappy and sleek. If you have never used a hall effect controller before, they are way nicer than you think. Beyond lasting practically forever, they straight up just feel better than the disposable garbage a lot of first party companies shell out. I struggle to go back to a lot of them now just for that. The build quality feels generally very good (again, especially for the price). I'm a really big fan of this specific color scheme in specific as well. It looks even better in person in a way that is hard to quantify. I don't have a particular opinion on the battery life. It's somewhat worse than the 8bitdo Ultimate 2C Wireless (NOT Bluetooth) I have, which is weird because they are the same model and use the same battery? I'll chalk it to the lottery of it all I guess. My other one is VERY impressive and this one is just kind of good, I guess. Hopfully to disambiguate, also: This controller CAN connect to the Switch and Switch 2. There is quite a bit of confusion between the 2C Wireless and the 2C Bluetooth.

Awesome controller for Switch 2 and Switch. It is an amazing price for the quality. The joy sticks feel amazing and are Hall effect so they do not drift. It has extra mappable buttons. 8bitdo provides firmware updates when needed. This is a good alternative if you’re looking for a pro controller for Switch but can’t afford the more expensive options.

This controller is a great budget and it plays and works perfectly well for Minecraft or any game you like. I will definitely buy this.

I picked up the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Wireless gaming controller for my nephew, as he just received a brand new Nintendo Switch 2 console for his birthday. After charging up this controller, using the included USB-C cable, it was easily connected to the Switch 2 console via Bluetooth. I really like how the controller feels in my hands, and it is very responsive. I didn't notice any lag between the time I hit a button and the time the action occurred on screen. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.
