    Been using this controller for about a month and halftime now on my gaming pc and this has to be one of the best controllers in the market today. With its hall-affect sticks and it’s rechargeable dock that comes with the controller are one of the best things about this controller. And also its seamless connection when picking up the controller is just as easy and convenient.

    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.

    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.

    This is the best PC controller I have ever had, way better and cheaper than Xbox. All my buddies have one, mostly to play emulator games, but it's still a great controller for the price.

    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'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
