The controller's ergonomics, battery life, and included charging dock are also well-received. While most users praise the Hall Effect joysticks, some have reported issues with stick drift.

    Another 8BitDo Win

    8BitDo controllers have long been the next best thing to original. The line between the two seems to get thinner and thinner with each new 8BitDo product. Love the charge dock on this, as well as the Hall Effect joysticks.

    This is a great little controller for the price. I'm blown away by the features at this price point. I do wish it was easier to map keyboard and mouse functions to it, as that takes some thirdy party tools and a little doing, but for basic out of the box functionality with the majority of games it's incredible.

    I needed something that fit some really specific circumstances and found just the item. I was looking for a controller that would not only work with an iMac but also be recognized by a few gaming emulators. Thankfully, this worked beautifully. It took a couple of minutes to figure out how to get it all set up but once I did, it worked beautifully.

    I've been using this little beast for a little over 6 months and absolutely love it. I love the charging cradle for the convenience of dropping it in and I love how fast it connects and the low latency. I would recommend this for anyone PC gaming in the living room.

    This is our 3rd 8bitDo controller the oldest is a year and a half old. No stick drift , still has great battery life, no latency. Real sad that 8bitDo is having to leave the American market bc they are the best 3rd party controller company since i started buying 3rd party gear during the snes days.

    I was in the market for a new controller to use on my PC. Was initially looking at some of the more expensive options as I really wanted to have 2 back paddles. However, had this one recommended to me from a fellow PC gamer. Was in store picking up a TV so decided to go ahead and grab this (to my surprise it was on sale) to give it shot. AT PRICE I dont think there is a better option for all the extras that it comes with. Back Paddles, Hall Effect Sticks, Charging Station, and Software to update and Mapping 3 different profiles for the buttons!!! Why would you buy anything else!!!

    Fantastic controller, seamlessly connects every time with the 2.4ghz mode. Has worked for all of my devices so far. The charging dock is unique and has been a great plus.

    I've been using it about a month, no stick drift thus far. Sits on charging base when not in use so I never have to worry about a dead battery in the middle of action.

    This is a fantastic controller, the only issue was the Bluetooth connectivity, but that was fixed by visiting their website and downloading their software which also allows for remapping of the back buttons

    Good price for PC gaming controller. Great controller with a lovely feel, smooth analog sticks and very easy to setup and use. Only issue is sometimes (more so an uncommon occurrence but it has happened) the controller will connect, disconnect, and reconnect. That could be a USB port issue, however. Overall 4.99 out of 5.

    I use this controller primarily for racing games on PC. It's nice having the charging stand for when the controller isn't in use, and the controller pairs to the PC within seconds once it is removed from the stand.

    I cannot recommend this controller enough. 8Bitdo is such an amazing controller company and these controllers are worth every penny. They sync up so well, they FEEL quality, the Hall effect sticks are amazing, the cable and dock is awesome and it comes with a dongle all with a killer price! AND they go on sale so often. I will be buying so many more 8Bitdo controllers for sure. I can't recommend them enough.

    This controller has been great while using on my pc. The dock is handy to have it go somewhere while not using it and charges it. I do wish thay the triggers were more like the xbox triggers and the sides are straiger then the xbox controller, so ergonomics forsnt feel as good. I do enjoy the hall effect sticks, which is why I didnt get another xbox controller since my last one had stick drift. Id opt in to get an official xbox controller if it has hall effect sticks, but since they don't, this controller has been a nice alternative.
