    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!

    PC Gamer here… In the last several months, I have bought and played on: 3 x Xbox Elite Series 2, 1 x Scuff Envision Pro, 2 xScuff Instinct Pro… None compare to thr 8BitDo in ergonomics, ease of use and especially ergonomics. The “Hall Effect” sticks are as good as advetised and so far drift free… the only thing I’d like to see added to this controller is adjustable hair triggers, but with the software dead zone adjustment, I honestly don’t mind them the way they are. A++++++

    A bit pricey - another $10 discount and I would've bought three - at least! Comes in various flavors, Android, Gaming Types, Windows, Bluetooth, &more. 1 easily balanced controller with a wide range of default & custom setting which is what I mostly use. The ease of movement is great.

    Great controller! I use it for bith the switch and my pc. Setup is easy. My only issue that I can't seem to solve is that there is a very slight delay when using for the switch. Other than that, it's a solidly built control and great for the price

    Hall effect joysticks

    I bought this controller for the hall effect joysticks. I've had 2 switch pro controllers, several joycons and even an Xbox elite controller all suffer from stick drift. I'm using this controller for playing on the switch. I really like the look and feel of this controller. The buttons are responsive. The only somewhat quirky thing about this controller is waking the switch from standby. There is a home button but hitting that alone won't wake the nintendo. You have to hit the home button and then tilt the controller up and then back down... seems odd but works.

    Amazing upgrade to the switch pro controller. Feels just right with back triggers and great compatibility. 2.4g wireless has a way lower input latency. Comes with charging hub and the 2.4g wireless usb adapter inside the charging hub.

    Decent controller, have some issues but it's mostly from a preference stand point, such as how squish the trigger buttons feel. But the charging station and wireless connection have been a boon since my last controller was wired. Works well without the proprietary program.

    Love the controller and the charger that comes with it. It was perfect for my white setup but loses one star due to the overall size , if you have large hands like myself the controller might not be the MOST comfortable

    Excellent replacement for an Xbox 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.

    Probably one of the smoothest controllers for a small price I have put my hands on. 8bit did the job right and I appreciate this controller. Oh, it runs on Linux too. Also, weight is nice in the hand

    The controller works perfectly.There's no issues with it. has hall Effect triggers and joysticks, which helps make them last longer. So you don't get stick drift the bluetooth is worth the extra money over its 2.4ghz little brother and this one still has the 2.4ghz if needed the stand for it to charge gives it a nice resting spot while having the controller always ready to go besides that the battery life on it is amazing so not an issue if you forget to put in dock

    Hall effect, look no further for your PC controller options. Hands down the best controller I have owned for a PC, all Xbox or PlayStation brand controllers ALWAYS get stick drift, NOT WITH HALL EFFECT sticks which are used on the 8BitDo - Ultimate Bluetooth Controller for Nintendo Switch and Windows PCs

    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.

    Finally! A good dpad has been eluding me since getting the Switch! I'm not sure why Nintendo dropped the ball so hard on what they perfected 40 years ago. The pro controller was nearly perfect, but that d-pad... I love playing Tetris 99 but until now I was forced to play in handheld or use the grip. Same with the retro games and any other games that need a good d-pad to play. Everything else is great too, the buttons all feel great, and the joysticks do as well. The included stand is a nice touch, having a cubby hole for the dongle is a brilliant extra touch. This is officially my favorite controller of all time. incredible value for the quality!
