3x cheaper and 100x better!
This thing is truly amazing! For only $25 this handily beats my xbox one x controller in nearly every way. I can’t believe how far third party controllers have come from when I was a kid and how bad they used to be. I’ll list the main points I like about this over my xbox controller.Connectivity: This connects literally instantly and 100% of the time with the included dongle and the 2.4g connection. Using Bluetooth with my xbox controller was such a hassle sometimes. It connects slower when you turn it on and sometimes it wouldn’t even connect at all. I’ve had to restart my pc many times for the bluetooth to work again. The lower input lag of 2.4g is a nice bonus.Ergonomics: I have smaller hands so the shape of the 8bitdo controller feels much more comfortable to me. The xbox controller is bigger and the handles jut out more and nearly gave my thumb muscles permanent carpal tunnel damage from playing on it too much. I think it’s called gamer thumb (this is why I bought the 8bitdo controller in the first place). I never had an issue with the switch pro controller either. I recently started Minecraft on pc a lot with the xbox controller and I think it’s what caused my gamer thumb issue in the first place.Of course having Hall effect sticks is great too for long term use. I already had to replace my switch pro controller once because of left stick failure.My main pain point with the xbox controller is the extremely bright led light on the center button you can’t turn off. I had to tape it up. I’m glad the 8bitdo controller didn’t have this idiotic “feature”. There are other good things about it too like the extra buttons and too.Really the only small downside is not having replacable double A batteries. Would be a 11/10 controller for me if it had this feature but I’m fine without it. It’ll be a little harder to replace a many years old worn out battery in this but I’m sure finding a replacement won’t be too hard.

Best Controller for PC Gaming!!
I’ve been on the hunt for a reliable wireless controller for quite a while now. Over the years, I’ve tried almost everything—PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and various third-party brands. My main issue? Bluetooth connectivity. My computer has always had trouble maintaining a solid Bluetooth connection, causing endless frustration with lag, dropped inputs, and pairing failures.Enter the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller.From the moment I picked it up, I could tell this one was different. The controller feels fantastic in the hands. It has a comfortable, ergonomic design with a subtle grip that makes longer gaming sessions much easier. The buttons are responsive, with no noticeable input delay, which is a huge plus if you’re playing fast-paced games. It even features reprogrammable buttons, allowing you to customize your layout for different games or personal preferences.Battery life is another standout feature. The 8BitDo Ultimate 2C holds a long charge, letting you game for extended periods without constantly worrying about recharging.Now, I did come across some concerns about the firmware when I was researching this controller. It’s true that the initial firmware version had issues, but 8BitDo has since released a Version 2 update on their official website. After updating, everything works flawlessly, so if you’re worried about that, rest assured there’s a fix.For the price point, this controller delivers exceptional value. If you’re on the fence about picking one up, I highly recommend giving it a try. It solved my connectivity problems, feels great to use, and has all the features you’d want in a modern wireless controller. Don’t hesitate—it’s worth it.

The Finest Gamepad For PC I’ve Ever Used.
I’ve never written a review on this site before, but I felt compelled for this thing.For the price point, console makers should be absolutely ASHAMED. For 30-under at the time of writing, this thing is one of the absolute finest controllers I’ve ever used. The 2.4ghz dongle is some of the finest bleeding edge technology I’ve ever experienced, and kills any argument I’ve ever had against wireless controllers. Last time I even peeked at something this decent was the Wavebird controllers for Gamecube, and Nintendo has not used that technology since, even with the Switch.For reference, Xbox controllers at the time of writing are 59.99 for a basic controller, and even they can’t compete while WIRED with this thing. On top of that, the sticks are so amazing, with literally next to no deadzone, that I’ve aimed easier on them than any other controller I’ve had before even BEFORE counting the wireless capability.I can lay on my bed, playing Dark Souls 3, with next to no latency whatsoever with this thing, and every name-brand controller can’t make a claim like that without an extensive USB connection.I cannot recommend this product enough. If you do any PC gaming with a controller whatsoever, get yourself this thing and thank yourself later.

After an extended hiatus from PC gaming I was quite happy to find a decent purpose build 3rd party controller available and even better it just works, no mucking about like in the dark ages trying to get a PS3/4 or old Xbox controller working nicely with all games.Literally just plugged it in, powered it on, and it just worked.Overall the controller feels solid, the buttons have just the right amount of click, feels better than most console controllers IMHO, the sizing is just perfect for my medium sized hands, and as I purchased the “Black Myth: Wukong” special edition, has an absolutely stunning artistic style. I love that it uses different subtle shades of black rather than some of the more gaudy looking multi-color and RGB ones.Distance wise, I’ve used it from more than 30ft away in a different room (sometimes it’s fun to play on a 140″ projection screen) using the supplied 2.4Ghz dongle without missing a beat. It also supports Bluetooth if you want to use it on something that doesn’t support the dongle, but I haven’t really played with that feature yet.Overall very happy with my purchase, if it outlasts a standard console controller (~6 months) I’ll probably purchase a spare for multiplayer and backup use. Definitely recommend.

Ótimo produto, valeu cada centavo. Único problema foi a entrega que o cara jogou pelo portão o pacote mas não amassou nem quebrou nada. A distância que o controle funciona é absurda, muito fácil de usar e o cabo pra carregar é tipo C, o que torna carregar ele bem simples

Muito confortável, Bonito e de com qualidade, porém não é reconhecido no Xbox Cloud Gaming (apesar de funcionar, é só conectar um adaptador de controle Xbox no PC e usar o controle normal) ele usa ximput, ainda que não é exatamente, o dpad não funciona no menu do fortnite por exemplo, e os analógico por serem diferentes se nota um pequeno atraso, você se acostuma com o tempo e nem percebe, e depois fica até melhor pois não tem atrito, o que ajuda na pressão, ele também conecta sem problemas via Bluetooth no celular, mas não funcionou no CoDM, mas na maior parte das vezes é reconhecido.Vale muito apena, não só por custo benefício, ele é uma ótima opção de controle.

En control es un poco más liviano que un control de xbox, pero se siente la calidad de sus materiales, su conectividad 2.4g es muy precisa, no hay retrasos o alguna clase de lag. Su batería dura por días y no toma más de 2 horas en cargarlo. Había tenido otros controles para pc en el pasado, pero ninguno ha sido tan satisfactorio como este, además que su precio es un muy buen atractivo.
