Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller has been used with a Nintendo switch 1. I am pleased with its quality and value. Pros: It has a quick snappy response with good ergonomics. Pairing the controller to the console was quick and easy. The included thumb sticks grips and high quality charging cable were a pleasant surprise. It is great to use in game. The color scheme and translucent plastic also look great. Battery life is great. Cons: My only complaint is the shake to wake feature. This would be a 5 out of 5 controller if I didn't have to repeatably attempt to shake to wake the controller multiple times before just giving up and getting up to manually turn on the console. The controller can wake the console on the off chance that I shake it just right. I would really prefer something more consistent like a pressing and holding a button to wake the console. For the money: I really can't complain. The physical quality of the buttons and hall effect thumb sticks are outstanding. The responsiveness of the controls are great. I would get gladly this controller again.

Awesome controller for Switch 2 and Switch. It is an amazing price for the quality. The joy sticks feel amazing and are Hall effect so they do not drift. It has extra mappable buttons. 8bitdo provides firmware updates when needed. This is a good alternative if you’re looking for a pro controller for Switch but can’t afford the more expensive options.

I picked up the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Wireless gaming controller for my nephew, as he just received a brand new Nintendo Switch 2 console for his birthday. After charging up this controller, using the included USB-C cable, it was easily connected to the Switch 2 console via Bluetooth. I really like how the controller feels in my hands, and it is very responsive. I didn't notice any lag between the time I hit a button and the time the action occurred on screen. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.

This controller is a great alternative to the Switch 2 pro controller. It beats it on price by half. The hall effect joysticks should be standard on any controller! The transparent black looks really cool. I also like that it comes with thumbstick covers. I like them, but the pattern/color may not be for everyone. I put covers on all my controllers so having some included was a welcome surprise. The feel of the controller is not quite as nice as the Pro 2 controller, but is a great alternative for anyone who wants a solid controller at a great price.

I have had a good experience with my controller. The battery has last a good amount af time before getting a charge. the connetion with the console its been smooth. Controller thas been very responsive and feels good in hand even if i played a good amount of time.

Perfectly fits into my aesthetic, and just feels right in your hands. Buttons and triggers provide good feedback, that makes this controller your go-to for gaming. It’s easy to connect to any system with bluetooth. If I had to sum up my thoughts on this controller in one word, it would be “professional”, and at half the cost of a controller from any first party company.

It works perfectly on the Switch 2. The extra buttons you can map are nice to have, and 8bitdo is great about keeping the software updated. Connects quicker and more reliable than other cheaper alternatives. If you want a Pro Controller but are on a budget, get this one.

"Great controller with excellent features" "I’m really impressed with this product. The build quality is solid and it feels great to use. A big plus is the rumble feature, which adds a lot to the gaming experience. I also really appreciate the customizable buttons, which make it easy to tailor the controls to my play style. Highly recommended!"

Ultimate 2C Bluetooth, Ultimate 2 Bluetooth, Ultimate 2 Wireless... There is not one "Ultimate 2" controller. I wanted a controller that was compatible with the Nintendo Switch AND was able to have it's buttons re-mappable by the "8BitDo Ultimate software". I did a fair amount of research but not enough. The "2C" controller's buttons cannot be re-mapped. You need the "Ultimate 2 Bluetooth" for that. Do not buy the "Ultimate 2 Wireless" if you want a controller compatible with your Nintendo Switch. You need the "Bluetooth" version. - This controller is well made, great feeling buttons and sticks. Really nice color, I would have kept it if the buttons were re-mappable.

Excellent controller for the Switch 2. It feels really nice, and I had no issues pairing it.

This Controller works perfectly for my extra controller needs when me and my kids are playing Mario Party. I would recommend this controller heavily, The battery life is insane!!!!

It was an excellent controller for the price. Its connects with bluetooth and the charging lasts really long.

I find myself using this just as much as my pro controller for the switch 2. It’s very cool looking too and honestly has better rumble than the official Nintendo one.

8bit ultimate wireless Switch 2 Controller is a awesome product must buy for your Switch 2 feel good joy stick feel good..it a cheaper option than name brands there is only one down fault for this Controller No headphones jack..but im ok with it.i just plugged my headphones in PC monitor....but overall it a Controller

Feels good quality, nice buttons, good price, no nfc reader, keep that in mind. Works well with the steam deck.

Great controller, everything works like the Pro original controller.

It's a nice little controller. Only downside is the vibration is WAY too much, I ended up using it without the rumble turned on. If you plan ACNH, fishing is easier WITH the rumble.

Great purchase, especially if you find it on sale.

Works great worth the money work as needed back up spare etc feels quality almost equivelant to the pro controller

It's a nice controller nice for the price it works good
