    Great pro controller alternative

    This is quite possibly the best non-Nintendo pro controller for Switch. Pretty good quality, controls great and has most features of the Nintendo branded one. Battery life is great too, and the included dock is a nice touch. I'm docking a star for a few of reasons. First, is the controller can't turn on the Switch. Second, no HD rumble, just standard rumble. And third, the dock makes an audible high pitched whine which can get annoying if the dock stays close.

    This is a great controller for use on the PC. I haven't tried it on Switch yet. It was easy enough to get set up and get the software installed to properly configure it. I've used it to play some emulators and it's working perfectly. Feels well built for the price as well. Maybe the best part is the charging dock. It's very convenient to just throw it on the dock when I'm done playing.

    I picked up a handheld gaming PC, and I was about to link my series S controller to it for max compatibility, but then I was thinking, do I really want to have to keep changing the sync every time I swap between desktop, handheld, and console? I was also going to be travelling with my Switch, and didn't want to have to bring a controller for that as well. I also have recently been experiencing some drift with a couple controllers due to the way they are constructed. Welp, all problems were solved with this controller. Since the dongle is in the dock, no matter what device it's plugged into, handheld (with it's own dock) or desktop, it gets recognized as an industry standard x-input controller. When I flip the switch on the back to BT mode, my Switch picks it up and it just starts working there. The only thing I have to remember is when I'm on PC, that the buttons are labeled wrong, but that's something that Steam can fix if the game supports it. I grabbed this not only to make my life more convenient when travelling, but also for the hall effect sensor joystick technology. Shelling out over a half-yard, even upwards of a c-note on some, is not unheard of, and doing such on a controller with inferior tech that is destined for eventual joystick drift is such a waste of money to me. Since the tech in this controller can mitigate deterioration of that sort, it was obvious to me where to throw my shekels. The controller itself is comfortable to hold. I get confused as to which of the middle buttons does what, but that's on me since I swap between devices so often.

    I recently updated my PC to a gaming laptop and found that I was frustrated with my old school keyboard-and-mouse controls. This controller definitely upped my experience. It was quick and easy to connect and works flawlessly with my library of Steam games. It automatically wakes up when removed from the drop-in dock and goes to sleep when you put it back on the dock. Highly recommended!

    Feels better in your hands, feels better to use, joysticks are nice and precise. Charge lasts forever. I haven’t had to charge mine yet and I’ve had it for weeks (albeit with inconsistent use). D-pad is great, buttons feel high quality and tactile. Ability to switch between bluetooth and 2.4 on the fly is incredibly convenient. Overall a solid, well made controller.

    Excellent controller; 8bitdo makes great accessories and this controller is one of the best. Love the flexibility for connectivity to different devices and ease of charging with the dock. Have only tried switch games so far, but feels better than the Nintendo pro controller and similar xbox style controllers.

    Best multi use controller

    I took a shot in the dark with this controller. Wanted a controller that you can keep synced to pc and a switch at the same time, and this one does it. Have the dock plugged into my pc for the 2.4g and the bluetooth for my switch. Just flip the 2.4/bt on the controller and it works on both without resync. It eliminated having 2 controllers out for both. Definitely worth every penny. Only downsides I have is that you have to shake the controller to turn on the switch and it has a rattle like something is loose/broken inside, but it doesnt bother me since it works properly.

    This controller is the best controller I've used. The dock is great because you never have to worry about remembering to charge it, the 8bitDo software lets you remap basically the entire controller, and it works with bluetooth or the adapter on switch, pc, or steam deck. Only draw backs are that the back buttons aren't recognized by steam unless you have them mapped already. Also the button layout is nintendo style.

    These controllers are perfect. They have a bluetooth and 2.4g option and can be easily switched back and forth for different devices. They also work with my Switch 2 after an easy firmware update. It's worth noting that the back buttons can be programmed, but not as seamlessly as the official Switch 2 controllers.

    The letter pad is set to a switch so it makes playing new games on a PC rather confusing. Other than that, it feels great in my hands, handles great, comfortable, and the vibration on active games makes it a fun experience. I have this one and the newest 2025 model for PC. They handle beautifully.
