8BitDo - Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Wireless Gaming Controller for Nintendo Switch, PC - White

Picked this up as a second controller and went with the white color. It looks clean and modern in person and hasn’t shown dirt or wear so far. Comfort-wise, this is exactly what I wanted. The grips feel solid, the sticks are smooth and accurate, and the buttons are responsive without being loud. It’s a huge upgrade over Joy-Cons for longer sessions, especially when playing docked. Battery life has been excellent — I don’t have to think about charging it often. Pairing was quick and it’s stayed connected without any issues. Small con: like most first-party controllers, it costs more than third-party options, but the build quality and reliability justify it. If you want a comfortable, dependable controller and like a cleaner aesthetic, this is a great choice.

The sticks feel really smooth, and I love that you can program the buttons without using the software. Having a turbo button always accessible has been a game changer. I thought I would hate the extra shoulder buttons, but they actually are in the perfect spot at the ends of your fingertips. I use them in Spaltoon for the boyah emotes. Only complaint kinda is the weird set up you have to do for the controller to wake up the switch, but you only have to do it once, and other controllers have a similar process.

Perfect alternative to the pro controller. This is the controller you need if you can't drop $80 for the Pro controller. It has the perfect weight to it. It's also wireless, has rumble, and motion controls. The overall quality is on point and the charger is top tier. I have mine plugged into the dock and the wireless dongle is hidden inside of the charger. It's perfect for the Switch2.

Negative first: The only wish-list item I would have, is if they could include NFC Support for amiibo. Not a dealbreaker though What a great Switch2 pro controller! Programmable Macro Buttons make shiny-hunting in Pokémon Legends Z-A so much easier! The updated Firmware includes a Shake-to-Wake function for waking up the Switch2. The included charging dock looks so smooth with it. Being able to switch the triggers from hair-trigger mode to a hall-effect trigger is game-changing! It is hard to know where to start praising this controller. This is definitely my new favorite controller.

I play a lot of games on PC and after buying a controller for PC games with back paddles i got a little addicted to the ease of using them. I just had to get one for my switch as well. The controller plays excellently on the switch and the extra buttons are a huge plus. I also very much enjoy the ability to dock it. Big improvement over the Pro Controller. Get yourself an 8bitdo travel case and taking it on the go is a breeze.
