Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller surprised me in a good way. It feels solid, the buttons are super responsive, and it actually holds a charge longer than I expected. Pairing it was quick and easy with no issues. I’ve been using it mostly for racing sims and fighting games and the input lag is barely noticeable. Only downside is the thumbsticks feel a little stiff at first, but they loosen up after a few sessions.

OMG Guys. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing these thumbsticks on this controller are. I just used this controller in a game of MW2 2022 and I am amazed. I am a "quickscope" sniper and this controller is the best dang controller I have ever used IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. The Thumbsticks are LEGENDARY and give you a INSANE Advantage. It's like aiming with a Mouse with only one little setting change. You change your deadzones in the game to ZERO. I'm not even kidding. This controller doesn't drift at all. Heck I tried to make it drift and it wont drift. With that setting on this controller your aim is insanely accurate when passing over the deadzone. The Hall Effect joysticks are no joke guys. I ain't kidding it's like using a Mouse to aim its that precise. I am at a 120FOV with a 13 Sensativity with a 90% ADS Sensativity Setting with the ZERO Deadzone and I haven't been this excited of the type of Precision this controller give me. I Quickscoped 20 dudes so fast. This is the ultimate gaming tool. I've owned 2 Elite Controllers and I thought both of them were great. Well after the first one getting stickdrift and buying another that got stickdrift within 2 weeks. I took the other Elite back to Bestbuy and ordered this one. There is only 2 minor flaws, but can be easily fixed with a few mods. The triggers can be set to like 15-20% of a trigger press, But I like trigger stops. There is something satisfying about the button stopping. I set the triggers to register 100% at about 15% of pressing the trigger in the 8bitdo software. I am going to use a 3D ABS Pen to make a trigger stop and fill the area so the trigger will stop on the case. The second is the back buttons. They are flush and with my big hands its difficult to press. So I bought a pack of those little cabinet door silicon dots that silent close things that have like 3m tape or adhesive on them. They are like 10mm round and like 2mm tall. I put them on the back buttons to be easier to press. I also purchased the Skull and co. Grips for xbox 1/xbox x and they fit perfectly on these Joysticks. This Controller is the Closest thing to Perfection for a FPS Gamer. Not only do you get aim assist you also have the precision of a mouse. Best dang controller I've ever used hands down. 8bitdo>Everyone Else. Also did I mention even if your PC has Bluetooth still use a USB C cable because then you can Overclock it and it gets even more amazing. VERY LOW INPUT LAG!!!! Make dang sure you buy the 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Model Only. As that Bluetooth Ultimate is the ONLY version that has these Hall Effect Joysticks. I'm just a normal guy that works a 9-5 and I game at night and this controller has me aiming like a Pro. My Kills in COD has tripled and I'm not joking. Do yourself a favor and find one of these Ultimate Bluetooth model Controllers and use it. You will thank me later...

Best as a primary controller, for extras definitely get 8BitDo's Ultimate 2C which aren't much different for half the price. And far better off to get this vs the official Switch Pro controller: -Hall effect joysticks -Analog triggers -Two rear buttons -IMO better D-pad -Charging and connectivity dock -Profile switching Even better if you can get it for <$60.

I'm glad I got this controller. It has almost no issues on PC using the 2.4 GHz radio - it connects instantly. The dock is pretty nice to charge as well. I have had the occasional issue where the joysticks would start drifting? But only on 2.4 GHz radio, and only on my laptop. I'd suddenly be unable to move upwards because it believed I was holding it downwards. I haven't noticed this occur on my desktop though, so it might be a software issue on my laptop. This was also not always the case, and using Bluetooth or USB fixed the problem instantly (which means the joysticks themselves weren't drifting). There's an official app that allows you to change button mappings, add profiles, calibrate, and other things. I've only really used it to attempt to troubleshoot the problems I stated above. Otherwise I keep everything default. It works fairly well with Bluetooth on the Switch as well. The only downside is that pairing can sometimes take a tiny bit, and any time the controller popup opens on the Switch, the controller disconnects and turns off. It unfortunately doesn't come with a case though. I bought the official 8BitDo case on some outlet, and that one is fairly simple but works well enough for my needs. That is separate from this product though.

This controller is awesome! I was torn between it and the GuliKit pro controller, but the 2.4ghz wireless, d-pad, grip buttons, and charging controller dock all had me sold on this one. The controller has a premium feel and a nice texture that gives a secure grip in your hands. The controller dock also acts as a sort of extension cord for the wireless dongle, which is easy to remove if you wish to plug it into your PC or Switch without unplugging the entire controller dock.

This controller is a must have…and that is for ANY gamer. Fully customizable (MACROS enabling), Bluetooth functionality and quite frankly, very easy to use. I currently have 5 8BitDo controllers and just recently purchased the fighting pad. If you’re looking for a comfortable controller to have fun with, go ahead and grab this one. You will NOT be disappointed.

This controller is great! I mainly use it for my switch 2 though. The only problem I have is that you cant utilize the gl and gr triggers as of yet but hopefully that gets added in a future firmware update!

I love works great for both my Switch and PC. Recharging keeps things simple, and the Bluetooth is extremely low latency so can easily have it connected to both the PC and Switch with just a simple toggle to switch between the two.

Awesome controller so much better than the joy cons nice fit in your hand and the battery life is amazing the charging cradle sits nice on my entertainment center next to my seitch

I specifically chose this controller because it has analog triggers. Most Nintendo Switch pro controllers including the official one made by Nintendo have digital triggers. The game I am playing has airplanes and helicopters and they do not function as intended with digital triggers. Setup was easy. Just plug a usb C cable from the controller to the Switch (not the dock) itself and it paired instantly. A lot simpler than doing it through the Switch settings menu. Once I got it set up I tested it out in my game and everything worked fine. What a lifesaver and well worth the price. The overall quality is great. The d pad is a little stiff but it does the job. I would definitely recommend it even if you don’t care about the issue I had with the triggers (digital vs analog).

This controller connects to everything w no problem n stays charged up grab n play bad as

It’s pretty good buttons are responsive I mainly wanted buttons on the back that were programmable and this meets my needs comfortably and the price is right.

Easy to connect and great haptic feedback. The grip is nice and super comfortable. Long lasting battery too and comes with a stand. Wish they had it in white for the switch.

Works better than another similar controller I had, for less money, with the base and dongle. Got the Xbox buttons to make them line up with game prompts

one of the best Controllers I've ever Used really love the Dock that comes with it

This is my go to wireless gamepad for my Switch. It syncs quick and the controls are very responsive.

Works well on Nintendo Switch and PC. The Hall Effect joysticks are the main highlight for me.

We had excellent service from the time we entered the store and until we left the parking lot.

really good alternative to the Switch Pro with a lot of the features. it even came with a charging stand.

I’ve been using this controller for a few weeks now, and I have to say, it’s really impressive. The joysticks feel super smooth and precise, and I haven’t noticed any stick drift at all, which is a big plus. The controller feels solid in your hands but isn’t too heavy, so playing for long sessions is comfortable. The charging dock is awesome too—it keeps everything neat, charges the controller, and even stores the dongle so you don’t lose it. Connecting it is really easy, whether it’s via Bluetooth, the 2.4 GHz dongle, or wired. I also love that you can customize buttons and profiles using the software—it’s nice to have the back paddles for extra controls too. Battery life is solid and lasts through long gaming sessions. A couple of small things I noticed: the triggers feel a little soft compared to the Switch Pro Controller, and it doesn’t have HD rumble or NFC for Amiibo. A few people online have mentioned connection issues, but I haven’t had any problems personally. Overall, this is a really solid controller if you want something that works well on both Switch and PC. The dock and customization options make it feel like a premium setup, and I’m really happy with it.
