Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this controller when the Xbox One controller that I typically use to play PC games just wasn't responsive. I knew that I wanted a controller with hall effect sensors, as I have had drift problems with controllers in the past with PS4 and Switch controllers. I really like this one so far. First off, the controller cradle is a great touch. It has a space to keep the wireless dongle, and with the USB-C cable in the box, the dongle works inside the cradle just fine. Once I take it off of it, the controller wakes up automatically and connects within two seconds. This is great, usually controllers take around fifteen seconds or longer to pair to the computer, but this connects just fine. The controller is very comfortable. If you've held a Switch Pro Controller, it's kinda like one of those. It has ridges on the handles that have become commonplace with the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X controllers. There is a switch on the back of the controller that switches it between Xinput and DirectInput. I keep it on Xinput most of the time, because that's usually supported on most games. I game on Linux (because I could go on all day about how just awful Windows is, especially Windows 11), and the controller works just fine with Linux. I did not need to install any special drivers to get it to work, it just works out of the box. If you're looking for a good controller to play your PC games on, get this.

I use this controller basically every day on a multitude of different devices since the 2.4ghz doesn't share the whole pairing song and dance of bluetooth. Super ergonomic, and the app lets you create different profiles, which is good for playing older games more comfortably. Only drawbacks are that the app can be a little irritating to set up, and the d-pad is a little squishy. But that's more accurate to an older NES/SNES d-pad. Charging dock is nice.

I love how convenient and fast this controller is. I use it for my pc, phone, everything!!! The latency is non-existent. Even when doing cloud gaming on my ipad!! If you want something fast, convenient as well as with HALL EFFECT JOY STICKS THIS IS IT!!!! NO STICK DRIFTTTT

Easy to setup! Great controller. Bought this to replace my Xbox One controller I was using on Steam. Literally just plug and play could not recommend more.

Great controller. I use it every day and haven't had any problems. Connects quickly off the dock, responsive, no issues with stick drift after pretty heavy use. Will definitely buy another one when needed.

Absolutely incredible controller. No stick drift, buttons are solid and easy to press. Triggers are smooth. Connectivity is instant and interference free. Feels worth $120!

Great controller, easy to set up. Plug & play. Will definitely be purchasing again.

Will probably end up buying a second one for my wife to use, fits hands very well

I happened to stumble upon this controller and bought it randomly. The reviews online were pretty decent. Since I've started playing more games on my PC, I've been wanting to get a controller dedicated to my PC. Controller responds great, feels like an Xbox controller, which is what I'm used to. Wireless works perfectly. Because it has Bluetooth and 2.4G Wireless tech, I can switch between my PC and my phone whenever. Battery life is pretty good. Got about 9 hours or so out of the box before it died. Only issue is that there aren't any notifications to let you know the battery is dying. At least to my knowledge. I love how you can use a USB C cord to charge the controller, or you can use the provided dock that also comes with it. Overall great buy and it isn't as expensive as a regular Xbox controller.

Most comfortable controller and hall effect sticks. Definitely gonna buy the next gen of these. Dock is a great choice in design

This is a nice controller overall. The grip takes time to get used to. Also, the fact that it will not connect to my Windows 11 machine without the included dongle is annoying; especially since it lists blue tooth as a supported mode for other platforms. Having to use the dongle is not a deal breaker just less than ideal. Given all of this I still like the controller. The included charging base is nice to have and it connects and disconnects when taking the controller on and off the charger. The buttons, triggers, thumbsticks and d-pad all have a quality feel to them. I cannot speak to the longevity of the build quality but so far so good. The review would be five stars except for the lack of blue tooth support in x-input mode is a real shame. This lack of blue tooth support is poorly communicated on the controllers packaging. Still a quality controller for my computer.

The value of 8bitdo's offerings is simply unmatched. My househould has 3 of these currently and I will always recommend them if they maintain their consistency.

This controller feels premium right out of the box. The Hall effect joysticks are super smooth and accurate, with no drift issues, and the buttons feel responsive. It connects quickly to my Steam Deck, Windows PC, and even my phone with zero lag. Battery life is excellent, and the included charging dock is a nice bonus. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a versatile and reliable controller.

Bought this for my son to use on his tablet and PC. There is a neat little switch on the bottom of the controller that toggles it from Bluetooth to XINPUT. It's seamless and fast. Perfect for our use-case. The controller function and quality are great. The controller fits our hands perfectly but it may be a little small for those with larger hands.

Great controller love that it comes with a charging dock. Its also super nice once its plugged in placing the controller on the dock auto shuts off the controller and pulling it off auto turns it on and it auto connects to my pc i dknt have to dig around in settings to make sure they get paired correctly.

I have been using Xbox, PS4, and MSI PC controllers, so I never knew what huge difference this would make. Precise aiming, moving without drifting, and no delay is so much better that I will never go back to the standard. The fact that it comes with a base charger is a huge plus as well. I have definitely been missing out!

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!!!

I got this controller when I started to transition from console games to PC. The quality is great, it basically feels like an Xbox controller but with a couple extra buttons, sits in the hands nice, maintains connection and charge. I could go on and on, but it was worth the 50 bucks I spent on it.

Best 3rd party controller I have ever had for it's price. Competes with the console controllers you get with your console. Good weight, good feel. No drift with Hall effect joysticks.
