    Bought it mainly for the macro and turbo functions, and it works perfectly. Feels smoother and more responsive than the Nintendo Switch Pro 2 controller. The L2 and R2 buttons on top take some time to get used to if you’re not familiar, but overall it’s an outstanding controller.

    I absolutely love this controller. After being frustrated with PC compatibility with PlayStation controllers (as well as for how fast they develop stick drift) I found this guy to replace my broken Xbox controller. The dedicated USB dongle keeps latency low, and the hall effect sticks won't ever develop that nasty drift. Takes a little time to get used to the slightly different shape, but not a deal breaker.

    High quality controller with halls effects sticks. Drift shouldn’t be an issue. Overall controller feels good in the hand and is similar in shape to a standard switch pro controller. Decent vibration and gyro seems fine. Main controller I use with my switch now, for nearly everything except when playing undocked or Switch Sports. Comes with a charging dock and 2.5ghz dongle that is easily stored in said dock. Great value, quality and brand through and through.

    Should be a little larger especially Since it includes the back buttons but not bad overall. Would recommend. Kind of hard to get it to work on the Switch 2 as well.

    Very good controller. I use it for my switch and it works perfectly. As for the switch 2 it didn’t pair but I’m sure there is a firmware update out or on the way.

    It’s really good. Don’t be fooled by instructions though. We almost thought it was broken because the wireless connection was so bad but turns out the usb receiver for it is hidden in a compartment beneath the charger itself. And you also have to flip the switch on the controller to put it into 2.5 mode for the usb.

    I love it so far. Got it on sale and use it for my switch and it connects easily to both of my switch consoles. The only thing is that the instructions were confusing initially and also you do have to physically shake the controller to wake up your switch and connect. I wish I could've gotten it in another color but i plan on making a skin for it anywayss .

    The 8bitdo ultimate controller with 2.4ghz wireless is all around an amazing controller. It is advertised for the nintendo switch so it has their button layout. It can definitely be used for other consoles and PC, but it definitely a better overall controller than even the first party pro controller. Definitely worth a purchase.

    8bitdo is my go to for blutooth controllers and accessories. This one is another home run product that satisfies several use cases i was looking for. It connects to the nintendo switch seamlessly and has a usb adapter for any other needs. I love the feel of the controller and the charging dock works perfect.

    Got this controller open box (excellent) and I’ve had no issues with it so far. Took a bit to figure out how to get it set up with my switch and pc, but once i did that, its been smooth sailing. The controller feels good, the buttons feel good, just an all around good controller to use.
