Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is hands-down one of the best controllers I have ever used. It is so well-designed and ergonomic that it melts into your hands and you forget you are holding it. The rumble is very powerful. The joysticks are similar to the Xbox Series X/S controllers, although slightly less firm in my opinion, which I prefer. I have included a picture of an Xbox Series X/S controller for size-comparison purposes. The build quality is excellent. Also included is a nifty charging dock, which is well-designed and aesthetically pleasing. Overall, very pleased with this product and would highly recommend it.

The 8bitdo Ultimate Controller is a very high quality controller. It has many functions not available on a Switch Pro Controller such as turbo, back buttons, analog triggers, and hall effect joysticks. There is software you can use to remap controls but the turbo function can be activated on any button without the use of it. It can wake up your switch by shaking the controller. It also comes with its own charging dock with a usb dongle for use on pc. It has great battery life and looks amazing with a white pc setup/switch dock. It feels great to hold and will not slip in your hands. I can’t recommend it enough.

I saw a few rewiews about this controller and I decided to buy it, I used it only connected to my phone, but i’ll use it to play different games to see his full potential, it feels good in hands and its awesome if you plan to stay and play games for a hole night. I recommend it 10/10

A definite upgrade for the Nintendo switch. The rumble is fantastic and the charging dock is sleek and well designed. No regrets on my purchase.

I've owned a lot of controllers over the years... But this one from 8BitDo out does every single one of them (even the DualSense and Xbox Series X controllers)! This is also a Hall sensor controller which in Layman's term means Stick Drift PROOF!!!!

An amazing product, it works flawlessly with my switch playing Zelda: Tears of the kingdom. All of the buttons and sticks are very responsive and the fact that it comes with a charging base right out of the box makes it a perfect choice, not to mention excellent battery life. I’m very happy with my purchase. To pair it on the switch, go into controllers and not settings.

Really great build quality, I love everything about this controller I was skeptical at first because I wasn't familiar with the brand but it has far exceeded my expectations, I love using it with my switch

I play a lot on the laptop. And I needed a controller that looked and felt good. This was definitely it. After software update everything ran perfectly. I really like how it comes with its own dock and connects really fast. I highly recommend it

I love this thing. Has motion controls and remapping for all the buttons via a free app. Much better than the Nintendo brand Switch Pro

Bought it since my Nintendo pro controller stopped working and surprisingly not from drift. Now i don't have to worry about drift. The joysticks are mediocre feeling but i have the security of no drift. The back paddles are nice and so is the dock! That alone makes it more worth the Nintendo brand. I don't like having to plug and unplug so many devices. The only problem i had was the gyro seems to have like a small dead zone? Feels like a fraction of a second delay every time I try shooting arrows in Zelda. But who knows maybe it's just mine. Actually wait 2 problems. Sometimes i want to take a screenshot in like Metroid prime remastered and it triggers the turbo. You can never fully disable turbo from the button but you can remap screenshot to another button which is fine but annoying. Turbo is nice when I'm out mining in totk depths for item pick up haha

I bought a new controller and wait a week. However there is dirt and short hair on it. So I think it is a pre-owned one.

Was looking for a GOOD wireless pro controller (back paddle buttons) for my Switch AND pc, and boy did it deliver. It feels premium and good in the hands. Comes with a charger so you never have to change batteries (though this is not something I am against). The sticks use the hall effect sticks so there will never or less chance of stick drift compared to all the older sticks. And like I said, it has back paddle buttons. Just 2 though so if you want 4 buttons back there you may want to go elsewhere. Also comes with a 2.4ghz dongle so you can have less input lag. This is what I opt for when gaming either on my Switch or on my pc. I was hoping however that I would be able to connect my Xbox controller or DualSense to the dongle but unfortunately you can only connect the 8bitdo controller to it. All in all, great controller, would buy again.

Very nice controller. I’ve had the Sn30 Pro for a few years and it was great besides having serious issues syncing with the Switch. This works much better and the dock is a really nice touch. It’s been great so far. I haven’t tried it on a PC/Mac or Android device yet. Mine is mainly for the Switch. This is the best Switch controller outside of the Nintendo Pro and it loos cool too. Great quality like everything else I’ve had from 8Bitdo.

It kinda makes you scratch your head because this controller feels much more premium than what they're charging for. I love the textured feel it has but it doesn't "feel" textured. It grips really well. Couple things to get used to is that it isn't as wide as other controllers so it feels a little weird at first. If you've got really big hands you may come across a little bit more fatigue than say an xbox or actual nintendo controller. However, you get used to it super quick and it feels amazing. Triggers are wonderful. It is super nice in every respect and plus... you get a charging dock and it is super convenient to use. You'll regret not buying it.

I've used Xbox controllers as long as I can remember and this is a really good alternative for the price. The build quality is super solid and all of the buttons and sticks feel pretty good too. The included charging dock and dongle are a big plus for the price. Solid 4.9/5. Just wish it came with a charing brick too but oh well. Most people have plenty of those laying around anyway

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.

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 feel, sturdy and easy to connect. Lasting charge.

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!

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.
