Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Love how it feels! Bought it for my switch 2, did not realize I had to update the drivers for it to work. Remember to update the adapter and controller if youre also using it for switch 2!

Very good quality! No regrets about it perfect connection with the switch!

Superb ergonomics, hall effect joysticks and great connectivity make this a fantastic.controller for Switch and PC.

Solid premium feel, good battery life, aestheticly pleasing, and just overall a great addition to any pc and switch setup.

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.

Got this for my brother's switch that bluetooth went out. Just plug the dock into the switch and he gets wireless controller again

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great battery life, built well. Would rate it up there with my xbox1 controller. Works with retroarch better wirelessly than my xbox controller. Will definitely be purchasing more products from 8bit do in the future.

Works as intended, feels good in the hand and buttons work well. No Joystick drift so far, however ive only owned it for a month. Great alternative if you dont want to spend $85 on the switch pro controller

Incredible price for what this controller is. Included dongle makes sure there is no latency issues. Hall effect sticks so no stick drift and feel amazing. Coming from clicky buttons the travel is not as bad as other controllers.

I use this with my Nvidia Shield TV and it works great! Battery life is outstanding. The controller works best for me in Wi-Fi mode, though I had to download beta firmware to get the most of it. I will be buying a second controller!

Works great. I love the fact that you can connect it via blue tooth and dongle. I use the blue tooth for my Switch 2 and the dongle for the computer. Joy sticks are smooth and responsive and the battery lasts a long time.

Sticks are fantastic, buttons feel great, and for the price comes with a charging dock. Can connect to all modern consoles and handhelds consoles/phones. This baby has you covered!

This controller is a great alternative to the Pro Controller. The included dongle in the charging base makes it easy to switch the connection from Switch to a PC with the switch on the back of the controller. Build quality feels great and is comfortable in the hand.

This is an absolutely high-quality controller that comes with its own charge stand. And yes… When you update it via a laptop or PC, you can use it with the Switch 2. Outstanding!
