Customer Ratings & Reviews

Genuinely pleased with how well it functions! I bought it because my previous controller for PC gaming started to drift badly. Controls are smooth and I have the option of USB-A wired and wireless connection. On top of that, it’s a great size and the colors are pretty!

Definitely the best controller I’ve purchased in a long time. Great value, great color choices, and the joysticks are also “hall effect” joysticks, which basically means they use magnets to prevent stick drift. Not even the Switch 1 & 2 Pro Controllers have that! Having hall effect joysticks for a $30 controller is incredible value. Haven’t had any issue with it thus far, so easy 5 stars.

It's a really, really great controller for PC and android. 2.4 hz dongle works perfectly with my laptop. Especially for its price - 30$ - it's a must-have. Low latency, Hall effect joysticks, light weight. In some ways, it's better than my $120 MS Xbox elite controller - no connection problems, and it really feels more comfy in my hands. It's my main controller now.

I have used this heavily in since buying it and have experienced no problems whatsoever. This is good value for a $20 controller, and may be explained by the simplicity of a $20 piece of hardware removing extraneous features that could impede reliability. It is tangibly sturdy and barely reacted when I dropped it while it using it.

Bought this exclusively to play Minecraft on my new Samsung tablet, works well and I live the color. I like how light it is and am seriously looking into buying a wireless version. Great value and gets the job done. Just don't expect console level heft and durability for the price.

The controller works great for PC Steam gaming with no issues. Very responsive and easy to use (plug and play). It fits a standard USB slot available in all desktop PCs. The wire is a good length without any entanglement.

I have to say this controller is unbearable by its price. I was experiencing a joystick drifting from my previous Xbox controller, now I decided to go this one. Solid purchase and recommended.

For the price, it's easily the best controller I've ever handled. While I typically prefer the analog stick being in the lower position, with the D-pad being in the upward position (like how the PlayStation dualshock/dualsense does it), for the price, the quality of the buttons and sticks, and overall feel of the plastic, this is such a solid buy.

Pretty good controller, really worked well for what I needed

The controller is both cute and functional. Its soft and colorful styles make it stand out and add personality to my setup. The buttons are super responsive, making gameplay smooth and easy to control.

This controller is smooth to the touch and functions very well.

I'm giving this product a low review and I'll describe why: 1. The extra buttons on top and the "Switch-style" system buttons are a gimmick. The star is for assigning a button "turbo mode" whatever the heck that is, I don't know. The square button is for remapping, which you can't really do. I think 8bitDo just recycles the same shell and design for all of their models. 2. 8bitDo's marketing/naming convention is confusing. This model is "Wireless" the other model is "Bluetooth", but both are Bluetooth controllers...? The Bluetooth model is Nintendo Switch compatible, but the Wireless model has Switch-style system buttons. Pros: 1. The buttons feel great. They put clicky bumpers on instead of silicone switches, which is very satisfying. 2. Simple and easy to use for just a regular wireless controller for PC or android. Works with 2.4G dongle and Bluetooth. 3. Has "Xbox-style" button layout. This style of button layout feels natural and intuitive. The Nintendo layout always has me second-guessing no matter how long I've been playing. 4. I have medium-sized hands, and the remote fits my hands perfectly. My finger span (tip of pinky to tip of thumb spread wide apart) is 8.5 inches. 5. Great price for a simple controller and uses USB-C for charging or connecting. Summary: I don't recommend getting this remote unless you specifically want the 2.4G dongle. I'll be upgrading to the 8bitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth because the buttons on that one can allegedly be re-mapped (to Xbox style is my goal) AND it connects to Bluetooth, 2.4G (see the confusion?), and wired AND can be used with the Switch.

Best item for the price, my kids are loving it....

Works with both my Steam Deck (BlueTooth or docked with USB dongle) and PC (no BlueTooth chip; USB dongle only) with no issues. Compared to first-party controllers, this one feels like a bit of a steal for the quality. L4 and R4 buttons don't appear to map to any input automatically thru Steam Input, but there are guides out there to add some functionality to them. The stick deadzones also feel very slightly larger from my previous Xbox Series X controller, but this can be accounted for using in-game settings.

For what its worth this remote feels super good, it connects to my pc real fast and battery lasts a good minute, i also got this in like 2 days after ordering it with no problems! Also i love the color scheme it pops out alot

It feels comfortable in my hands and it looks nice. I kind of wish the thumbsticks were a tad shorter but I got used to it rather quickly. I also wish the usb receiver was shorter and that you could store it somewhere inside the gamepad. I also kind of wish the left thumbstick and D-Pad swapped positions so the gamepad was more symmetrical. The left thumbstick feels too close to the LB button. But these are all just personal preferences and I really like the gamepad a lot. It feels very well made and I adapted to it quickly. I definitely recommend it even with my personal preferences.

This is my second 8BitDo controller. This one is even better than the first, as My first is a older model. Very light weight, and all the buttons and d-pad work great. The hall effect joysticks feel great and feel more reactive. Bumpers and triggers give good response as well. Soild controller, easily my new go to for gaming.

Overall really good, especially for the price. Feels solid and surprisingly has quite a bit of weight to it compared to other cheap controllers I've used. I wish the "programmable" extra buttons on the back were fully re-mappable instead of just being able to remap to one of the default buttons.

It’s a good controller. It’s really the only “budget” controller I’ve found that can work with both switch and PC, so definitely a bonus if you’re someone who games with both. Build wise- pretty standard controller.

I have used a good amount of controllers from 8BitDo and this one is pretty nice to use personally! I find the size and shape of the controller to fit my hands well and it's always cool to see different color options for gaming peripherals. Two things to note : This version of the controller is wired only which might be a deal breaker, but I use this controller mainly for PC so I don't mind it since I'm sitting at my desk all the time. Hall Effect sticks are much better than normal sticks, but TMR sticks have since taken over which is essentially an improvement towards Hall Effect. It's not as big of a difference but there are newer versions with TMR at a slightly higher price if you aren't at a strict budget. Overall, this version of the 2C is great on a budget, and even more worth it if found during a sale and you want a controller to use on PC for casual and semi-competitive use!
