    Very good controller. I use it for my switch and it works perfectly. As for the switch 2 it didn’t pair but I’m sure there is a firmware update out or on the way.

    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

    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

    High quality controller with halls effects sticks. Drift shouldn’t be an issue. Overall controller feels good in the hand and is similar in shape to a standard switch pro controller. Decent vibration and gyro seems fine. Main controller I use with my switch now, for nearly everything except when playing undocked or Switch Sports. Comes with a charging dock and 2.5ghz dongle that is easily stored in said dock. Great value, quality and brand through and through.

    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.

    Premium Switch Controller

    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 .

    best controller for the nintendo switch

    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.

    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.
