Amazing controller, 10 out of 10, 5 Stars
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.

Best Controller I've ever used in my life!!!!!
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...

Great Controller – Smooth, Responsive, and Reliabl
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.

Truly Something Amazing
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.

Quite good with some quicks & no case included
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.
