    This controller works as you would expect. Great! No lag in the wireless connectivity. For this price it’s hard to beat. Get a controller and charging dock all for same price, if not less, than a name brand controller. I bought just keep on the desk when a certain game worked better with controller or just wanted take a break from mouse and keyboard. Kids love it. They use it when playing their games on the computer. I never use the back buttons but they are there if you want them. If you needing a budget controller to have for your computer this is the one to get. You won’t be disappointed.

    This controller is one of the best I've had in a long long time. I've tried so many controllers and so far this one is great. It comes with a nice charging stand and a nifty usb to make it wireless. If you forget to charge it there's no problem, just use the wire that the charger is plugged into for wired gaming. either way it fits comfortably in your hand and has buttons on the back for mapping controls. 10/10

    My favorite controller for use with my PC aside from the PS5 controller. This controller feels awesome in the hand due to the textured handles. The layout is great, and the vibrations help add to the gaming experience. The icing on the cake is the great dock it comes with. The dock makes it easy keep to keep it charged and allows for seamless connection.

    I am 51 and needed a basic wireless game controller to learn on. This has been perfect. I am extrememly happy with it, especially for the price point. It connects with ease to my various devices like my computer, phone and Firestick and I have no lag

    I've been using this as my main PC controller for a bit now. It works great, so far. I haven't noticed any stick drift or sticky buttons, and the overall feel of the controller is solid. The only issue I've had with it, and why it's only getting 4 stars, is that it will randomly disconnect. It usually happens shortly after turning it on, but I can't find a consistent reason for it to do so. This doesn't happen often enough to be a serious issue, but enough of one to be annoying on occasion. Turning the controller back on auto-reconnects, and most games auto-pause when a connected controller disconnects, so it's not that great of an issue.

    If you’re someone who’s hard on controllers, this maybe the controller for you! I use to buy Xbox from GameStop with a warranty because it was common for me to get drifts but so far no drifts after about a few months of use. I have not used the extra buttons under in the back yet but have tried both dongle and Bluetooth and worked great. My only gripe is that one day I went to start my 2021 Zephyrus G14 it would begin its load screen then just give me a black screen. I would have to hard reset it and would sometimes work. After much frustration and decided to unplug all items and sure enough it was the dongle. I decided to just reinstall windows and it’s been working perfect ever since with no issues at all. So could have possibly been an OS issue but I’ve never had any issues with any other type of dongled accessory.

    This 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4G Controller is a cool choice for PC gaming enthusiasts with a solid build, responsive controls, tactile, responsive buttons, and wireless convenience of 2.4 GHz. Better than Bluetooth. I really like my controller.

    Syncs really easily. Everything connects through the charging dock. Just pick it up and it automatically connects, put it back down and it disconnects. Havent had the controller battery die on me yet. Buttons and sticks feel great.

    Love this controller and the dock is clutch. 8BitDo knocked this one out of the park. Finally a good controller with a dock and good battery life that you can plug into your PC and it's not $80 plus bucks is a win for me.

    I've ordered 3 of these controllers, one that I use for myself with PC, and 2 others that I use with an emulation kiosk PC. I've never had any issues with these controllers. The joysticks are amazing, never had a button stick. I swear these things are better than the official Xbox controllers. Something that they don't even advertise is that you can actually connect the controller to both a Switch or Bluetooth as long as you update the controllers firmware.

    Just picked this 8BitDo gamepad recently and I love it. Got this one on sale after just announced their newest model. This gamepad performs great and has great battery life. And I love the way it fits in my big hands. No complaints about it at all. I recommend it to everyone, I told my brother-in-law about it and he picked one up for himself and loves his as well.

    Partly a review of 8BitDo itself. Controller is great and I've enjoyed using it for the past for years. There is some issues now, but 8BitDo's products tend to be easily repairable and their website may even offer spare parts for the item you have.
