Customer Ratings & Reviews

Imma be honest if you are looking for a controller that feels nice and can be used wherever you want this is the one for you. Never have I used a better feeling controller. Only small thing to keep in mind it this version does not do macros,which for some reason I thought it did despite it never once being advertised. Not to worry, however, 8BitDo does sell a controller that does macros if that is what you are after. That said, this controller does do turbo which for anyone who does not know what that is, turbo rapidly presses and depresses a button WAY faster than you or I could ever do it. All in all, it is a lovely controller that has been amazing to use for Pokemon Legends ZA thus far and I imagine I will continue to get further use out of it.

OMG Guys. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing these thumbsticks on this controller are. I just used this controller in a game of MW2 2022 and I am amazed. I am a "quickscope" sniper and this controller is the best dang controller I have ever used IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. The Thumbsticks are LEGENDARY and give you a INSANE Advantage. It's like aiming with a Mouse with only one little setting change. You change your deadzones in the game to ZERO. I'm not even kidding. This controller doesn't drift at all. Heck I tried to make it drift and it wont drift. With that setting on this controller your aim is insanely accurate when passing over the deadzone. The Hall Effect joysticks are no joke guys. I ain't kidding it's like using a Mouse to aim its that precise. I am at a 120FOV with a 13 Sensativity with a 90% ADS Sensativity Setting with the ZERO Deadzone and I haven't been this excited of the type of Precision this controller give me. I Quickscoped 20 dudes so fast. This is the ultimate gaming tool. I've owned 2 Elite Controllers and I thought both of them were great. Well after the first one getting stickdrift and buying another that got stickdrift within 2 weeks. I took the other Elite back to Bestbuy and ordered this one. There is only 2 minor flaws, but can be easily fixed with a few mods. The triggers can be set to like 15-20% of a trigger press, But I like trigger stops. There is something satisfying about the button stopping. I set the triggers to register 100% at about 15% of pressing the trigger in the 8bitdo software. I am going to use a 3D ABS Pen to make a trigger stop and fill the area so the trigger will stop on the case. The second is the back buttons. They are flush and with my big hands its difficult to press. So I bought a pack of those little cabinet door silicon dots that silent close things that have like 3m tape or adhesive on them. They are like 10mm round and like 2mm tall. I put them on the back buttons to be easier to press. I also purchased the Skull and co. Grips for xbox 1/xbox x and they fit perfectly on these Joysticks. This Controller is the Closest thing to Perfection for a FPS Gamer. Not only do you get aim assist you also have the precision of a mouse. Best dang controller I've ever used hands down. 8bitdo>Everyone Else. Also did I mention even if your PC has Bluetooth still use a USB C cable because then you can Overclock it and it gets even more amazing. VERY LOW INPUT LAG!!!! Make dang sure you buy the 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Model Only. As that Bluetooth Ultimate is the ONLY version that has these Hall Effect Joysticks. I'm just a normal guy that works a 9-5 and I game at night and this controller has me aiming like a Pro. My Kills in COD has tripled and I'm not joking. Do yourself a favor and find one of these Ultimate Bluetooth model Controllers and use it. You will thank me later...

This controller surprised me in a good way. It feels solid, the buttons are super responsive, and it actually holds a charge longer than I expected. Pairing it was quick and easy with no issues. I’ve been using it mostly for racing sims and fighting games and the input lag is barely noticeable. Only downside is the thumbsticks feel a little stiff at first, but they loosen up after a few sessions.

The 8bitdo Ultimate Controller is a very high quality controller. It has many functions not available on a Switch Pro Controller such as turbo, back buttons, analog triggers, and hall effect joysticks. There is software you can use to remap controls but the turbo function can be activated on any button without the use of it. It can wake up your switch by shaking the controller. It also comes with its own charging dock with a usb dongle for use on pc. It has great battery life and looks amazing with a white pc setup/switch dock. It feels great to hold and will not slip in your hands. I can’t recommend it enough.

I'm glad I got this controller. It has almost no issues on PC using the 2.4 GHz radio - it connects instantly. The dock is pretty nice to charge as well. I have had the occasional issue where the joysticks would start drifting? But only on 2.4 GHz radio, and only on my laptop. I'd suddenly be unable to move upwards because it believed I was holding it downwards. I haven't noticed this occur on my desktop though, so it might be a software issue on my laptop. This was also not always the case, and using Bluetooth or USB fixed the problem instantly (which means the joysticks themselves weren't drifting). There's an official app that allows you to change button mappings, add profiles, calibrate, and other things. I've only really used it to attempt to troubleshoot the problems I stated above. Otherwise I keep everything default. It works fairly well with Bluetooth on the Switch as well. The only downside is that pairing can sometimes take a tiny bit, and any time the controller popup opens on the Switch, the controller disconnects and turns off. It unfortunately doesn't come with a case though. I bought the official 8BitDo case on some outlet, and that one is fairly simple but works well enough for my needs. That is separate from this product though.

Best as a primary controller, for extras definitely get 8BitDo's Ultimate 2C which aren't much different for half the price. And far better off to get this vs the official Switch Pro controller: -Hall effect joysticks -Analog triggers -Two rear buttons -IMO better D-pad -Charging and connectivity dock -Profile switching Even better if you can get it for <$60.

I saw a few rewiews about this controller and I decided to buy it, I used it only connected to my phone, but i’ll use it to play different games to see his full potential, it feels good in hands and its awesome if you plan to stay and play games for a hole night. I recommend it 10/10

This is hands-down one of the best controllers I have ever used. It is so well-designed and ergonomic that it melts into your hands and you forget you are holding it. The rumble is very powerful. The joysticks are similar to the Xbox Series X/S controllers, although slightly less firm in my opinion, which I prefer. I have included a picture of an Xbox Series X/S controller for size-comparison purposes. The build quality is excellent. Also included is a nifty charging dock, which is well-designed and aesthetically pleasing. Overall, very pleased with this product and would highly recommend it.

This controller is great! I mainly use it for my switch 2 though. The only problem I have is that you cant utilize the gl and gr triggers as of yet but hopefully that gets added in a future firmware update!

This controller is awesome! I was torn between it and the GuliKit pro controller, but the 2.4ghz wireless, d-pad, grip buttons, and charging controller dock all had me sold on this one. The controller has a premium feel and a nice texture that gives a secure grip in your hands. The controller dock also acts as a sort of extension cord for the wireless dongle, which is easy to remove if you wish to plug it into your PC or Switch without unplugging the entire controller dock.

This controller is a must have…and that is for ANY gamer. Fully customizable (MACROS enabling), Bluetooth functionality and quite frankly, very easy to use. I currently have 5 8BitDo controllers and just recently purchased the fighting pad. If you’re looking for a comfortable controller to have fun with, go ahead and grab this one. You will NOT be disappointed.

I've owned a lot of controllers over the years... But this one from 8BitDo out does every single one of them (even the DualSense and Xbox Series X controllers)! This is also a Hall sensor controller which in Layman's term means Stick Drift PROOF!!!!

An amazing product, it works flawlessly with my switch playing Zelda: Tears of the kingdom. All of the buttons and sticks are very responsive and the fact that it comes with a charging base right out of the box makes it a perfect choice, not to mention excellent battery life. I’m very happy with my purchase. To pair it on the switch, go into controllers and not settings.

I love works great for both my Switch and PC. Recharging keeps things simple, and the Bluetooth is extremely low latency so can easily have it connected to both the PC and Switch with just a simple toggle to switch between the two.

I specifically chose this controller because it has analog triggers. Most Nintendo Switch pro controllers including the official one made by Nintendo have digital triggers. The game I am playing has airplanes and helicopters and they do not function as intended with digital triggers. Setup was easy. Just plug a usb C cable from the controller to the Switch (not the dock) itself and it paired instantly. A lot simpler than doing it through the Switch settings menu. Once I got it set up I tested it out in my game and everything worked fine. What a lifesaver and well worth the price. The overall quality is great. The d pad is a little stiff but it does the job. I would definitely recommend it even if you don’t care about the issue I had with the triggers (digital vs analog).

Awesome controller so much better than the joy cons nice fit in your hand and the battery life is amazing the charging cradle sits nice on my entertainment center next to my seitch

Easy to connect and great haptic feedback. The grip is nice and super comfortable. Long lasting battery too and comes with a stand. Wish they had it in white for the switch.

I play a lot on the laptop. And I needed a controller that looked and felt good. This was definitely it. After software update everything ran perfectly. I really like how it comes with its own dock and connects really fast. I highly recommend it

It’s pretty good buttons are responsive I mainly wanted buttons on the back that were programmable and this meets my needs comfortably and the price is right.

Really great build quality, I love everything about this controller I was skeptical at first because I wasn't familiar with the brand but it has far exceeded my expectations, I love using it with my switch
