    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.

    It turns out that a picture isn't worth a thousand words. You have to look very close. Then you will notice the charging dock is in the picture. Also the layout for the YXBA varies. The one I got was XYAB. The TV didn't care about the layout however. The same couldn't be said for the game portal. I had to adjust my game play because the button location remains the same. The controller functionality is verify responsive. Unfortunately my controller didn't last a week. This is my first time using this product. Normally my controller fails from over use by people who are overly aggressive with them. Like spamming buttons.

    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 .

    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.

    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.

    I've had this for about a year and it still holds up well when I use it to play on the Switch or PC. No problems with latency, charging, or overall functionality. The only issue I've been having is occasionally it will disconnect for a few seconds on PC and it will take a little bit for it to reconnect again. Not a big deal most of the time even when playing PvP games, but still annoying when it happens. Not sure if it's the controller or my PC, but I haven't had this issue with other controllers.

    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.

    Out of all the controllers I've tested, this is definitely in my top 3! In terms of Nintendo Switch controllers, I think its the best! It's hall effect joysticks are really precise and makes drift nonexistent. As for PC controllers, this is in my top 3 behind the Xbox Elite Controller 1 and 2. While I say that, you have to consider that the 8bitdo Ultimate is almost $100 cheaper than either of these options so in my opinion, its the best value controller for your PC.

    This controller is so nice, I only wish that it worked with PC without a dongle and solely on Bluetooth. When I am gaming on my laptop I just don't want to mess with a dongle, and I get they have a version now that will do this but I also don't want the cheap Xbox logo on it either. But other than that one little thing, its better than an Xbox controller.

    This is by far my favorite switch controller. The joy sticks are fantastic and better than my pro controller. I do miss the NFC for amiibo but everything else is so much better that i dont mind needing to switch controllers for a bit to scan amiibo. I love the switch to change between bluetooth and 2.4 ghz, I use it to jump between my switches without needing to pair it each time.

    This controller has a great feel and is extremely responsive. The only issue I can find is the fact that you cannot utilize controller profiles while connected via bluetooth to windows. In order to use this you must plug in the 2.4 dongle which takes up a USB port on my laptop.

    Great controller works well on both my PC and Nintendo switch. Love that I don't have to remove the 2.4Hz dongle from the base, you can leave it in and plug the charge base straight into the PC and you can use the controller on the 2.4 mode easily. Love this feature and this product. Would recommend to anyone.

    Almost perfect. The Hall effect sticks are very precise and have not, nor should ever, drift. The d-pad works well and the back buttons are useful, but you can only assign them to work like the normal buttons; no keyboard inputs can be mapped to them.

    I looked for different controllers for pc and switch. I tried the switch pro controller, the gulikit king kong pro 2, and more. I was severely disappointed with all of them. This is the first controller ive used in a while that is actually good.
