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.

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 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!!

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!

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.
