Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this controller. I've been using for both my Nintendo Switch and PC gaming. It works flawlessly with both. I highly recommend this controller and the company that made it.

This controller is by far the best option to get for the nintendo switch. It has a great feel to it and it doesnt feel cheap compared to others, the battery on it is great and the design is perfect!! It is a bit difficult to get set up and connected at first but when you do get it figured out it is awesome!!

I got an incredible price for this as a Deal of the Day. The first sign of a problem was when I hooked it up to my computer with the provided usb cable. It appeared to be charging, but the gamepad was not seen by my computer. I turned on bluetooth and it was seen. I made repeated attempts to play Forza Horizon 4 - but it would disconnect in just a few seconds. After digging through many user reviews I found several users with the same problem, that was solved by updating the firmware of the gamepad. I found the website with the updates, and making the update was actually pretty easy. With that done I was able to play Forza Horizon 4 using bluetooth without disconnecting. I then tried playing using a usb cable, but one that I had on hand and knew was good. This time the gamepad immediately connected with my computer, which properly identified the gamepad. I have deducted one star for the bluetooth connection problem. It would have been helpful if a card had been provided mentioning a possible need to update the firmware, and pointing to instructions on how to do it. I deducted another star for what appears to be a defective usb cable. Luckily I had one of my own on hand. I recommend this gamepad if you can get a considerable discount on it.

This controller handles well, and it has a nice build quality. The software could be better

very happy with purchase easy to sync with my system and well constructed

A great Controller for the price and doesn't feel cheap like others in its market

Perfectly paired with my raspberry pi. Easy to setup and feels comfortable.

Very good, deep rumble, perfect dpad. Shoulder buttons are analog, a little hard to press for some games and the centered duel analog sticks are not ideal for all 3d games but this is excellent for 2d games, overall best switch controller, much better than pro pad.

I love 8BitDo controllers and this is the best one yet! Works seamlessly with our Switch and PC. Very comfortable for an adult or a child, and the buttons are incredibly responsive. We use this instead of the Switch's pro controller now!

8BitDo makes great controllers, and this is another yet one.

I use this for my switch, PC, and iPhone for gaming. So easy to pair with each device and has different toggles. Can also put regular batteries as well as comes with rechargeable battery.

I own two now. Works with all systems. Great for retro games.

These controllers are awesome build quality is great

It’s like a slightly beefier PS4 controller, with a textured finish. Easily the best controller I’ve ever used!

Good controller for switch and for the price was little annoying to connect to switch but once it does it works fine and feels premium does not feel like a cheap controller

Great product, feels solid! Would highly recommend.

For it's price and the multitude of platforms it supports, this controllers is definitely recommended if you have a PC and/or a Switch. Though, the device itself can't wake a switch from sleep mode.

If you're looking at purchasing a retro style controller, you can't go wrong with 8BitDo! I've purchased a few of their items and have been very pleased with both quality and performance. You genuinely can't go wrong with this brand.

I’m always amazed at well built these controllers are! They also have a nice weight and overall feel. I have had no issue pairing to many different devices and zero latency whatsoever. I absolutely love this controller, specifically for emulators on Mac or PC

Definitely better than most alt-brand controllers and i like how it can be used cross platforms. It does take a little more time to connect each time and takes getting used to the left joycon being as low as the right one. But all in all a good controller for an extra one
