Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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

I usevthis controller fir my pc and switch and it works great on bluetooth and usb. No stick drift after a year or so and is compatible will all games.

Works perfectly for our pc gaming setup in our living room/tv area.

Been using the 8BitDo Ultimate and it honestly feels way more premium than expected. The build quality is solid, buttons feel great, and the dock with the built-in dongle is A1—clean, convenient, and always ready to go. Easy pick.

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.

8bitdo has made a solid easy and user friendly controller that removes the suspicion of if your joy sticks will start to drift etc. This controller features hall effect joysticks that just seamlessly move so freely. I absolutely love this controller it feels better then orginal switch controller and some other controllers. 100% would reconmend to anyone whos looking for a universal controller with paddles

It's half the price of the Nintendo pro controller and it comes with a charging station. It also happens to work every bit as well. It's a no brainer.

Feel is good, but the left stick has a persistent drag issue

love this controller. perfect dock that lives on my nightstand. fits well in my hands

Was able to get this controller at a discount. Very satisfied

I recently updated my PC to a gaming laptop and found that I was frustrated with my old school keyboard-and-mouse controls. This controller definitely upped my experience. It was quick and easy to connect and works flawlessly with my library of Steam games. It automatically wakes up when removed from the drop-in dock and goes to sleep when you put it back on the dock. Highly recommended!

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

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.

Works great with my Switch 2 and my PC. Seamlessly transitions between the 2

I saw reviews for this on reddit, suggesting it is the best bang-for-the-buck controller. I have to say that I agree. Feels very solid in my hands and has great feedback.

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.

Amazing controller. Feels great in the hand and is so easy to setup. I have used and own all manner of modern controllers, and this one is easily my preference these days.
