Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

Very easy to connect and just wanted a good, simple wireless controller for my pc

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!

great connection...very user friendly....i can use for switch 2 and pc

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!

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.

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.

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.

Works great love that i can set up macros and change settings to personalize it how i want through website download also fits better in my tiny hands than regular xbox style controllers. Pretty cool

I loved this controller during my time with it, but it ultimately had to go back because the bumper stopped working for me. I got this for my Switch 2 and it works with it after a pretty easy upgrade on my computer, but if you don't have a computer and trying to use this with your Switch 2, you will have a hard time. Long story short, it was a good controller, felt nice in the hand. The dock was a nice touch with the dock lighting. I did enjoy it overall, but if the button wore out during my return window, it left me feeling uncertain of it's longevity. I still recommend you try it though, it was good when it worked.

I keep my switch docked 95% of the time and have never found the joycons particularly great for that use. Having used other 8bitdo controllers on PC and Android, I was delighted to see this one for the Switch. It performs wonderfully and the charging dock is a nice inclusion. I highly recommend this controller.

Great feel, sturdy and easy to connect. Lasting charge.

I love this controller so much, I bought two. the buttons are tactile and the triggers and sticks are super smooth. The 2.4 ghz usb adapter and the bluetooth both work great, it just doesnt work on the Switch 2 unfortunately.
