    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++++++

    An Amazing Controller

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Bumpers stopped working for me

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
