Solid build. Works seamlessly on windows and the steam deck dock. I was tired of replacing xbox controllers with stick drift. time will tell if these hall effect sticks take care of that issue.

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.

My old Xbox controller (for PC use) was on its last legs, so I went in search of something that could replace it. I was fortunate to grab this controller on sale and couldn't be happier! It's comfortable (more so than the XBox controller, even) and easy to set up. I love it's rechargeable dock, too; a charge seem to last quite a while as I have yet to have issues with it drying mid-use. I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, good-quality PC controller.

Excellent controller. Love not having a cord and the added charging station is a huge relief. Changing batteries all the time can get annoying. This has a simple operation. Simply plug in your Bluetooth USB to the computer and connect. Fast reactions speeds and smooth operation.

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.

Excellent controller, never once had any connection issues. Battery life is pretty good, from the few times it didn’t live on its convenient little charging dock.

This controller is excellent. I wasn't expected it to be as good as it is, to be honest. I had been using an Xbox controller over Bluetooth, but this is way better. Worked on Windows and Fedora out of the box. I am using the USB stick for 2.4 GHz wireless, connectivity is faster than I had been used to with Bluetooth on my old controller. I'm considering buying another one

This controller is amazing. The versatility of connecting it via usb-c, wireless dongle, and Bluetooth is convenient. The coolest feature to me is that when the dongle is connected to the dock. The cord from the computer to the dock still transfers data to the dongle. Allowing you to use the controller this way. The controller feels great in the hands and the hall effect joysticks are durable.

Absolutely love this controller. It fits so comfortably in my hands, which is great for long time use. I love the wireless aspect of it. It makes gaming so much easier without the long cord getting in the way. 10/10 recommend this controller!!

This 8BitDo - Ultimate 2.4G Wireless Controller functionality and value is outstanding. I took a chance on this to replace an official XBOX Controller that suffered from constant disconnects and other stability issues. Even after updating the XBOX Controller firmware, tweaking all kinds of Device Manager, Power, USB and Sleep settings the XBOX Controller continued to be a nightmare. Bought this and I am absolutely thrilled and happy with the performance, value and stability it’s exhibited so far. Love even the textured feel of the grips and the sticks move smooth and precise. The included charge dock is so easy and even has a bottom LED indicator. It includes a bonus two programmable back buttons supported by decent enough software for customization features. I would highly recommend this to anyone, this is my first 8BitDo purchase and it will not be my last!

Ive used multiple xbox controllers and at sone point they will fail to play games either from certain companies. Or they are missing updates etc etc. I grew frustrated with this and bought this controller and now I do not have any connectivity issues whatsoever.
The controller itself is smaller and lighter than an xbox controller as well

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.
