Review: The best PC gamepad... for now. - I've been through half a dozen XBox Elite Series 2 controllers; they feel great in the hand; solid, weighty, tactile... but they are always either defective on arrival or something breaks within a month or two of use. Enter 8BitDo, one of the better 3rd party gamepad makers. Historically, they've made nostalgic (but very well built) controllers for emulator enthusiasts, but with this thing, they have finally entered the field as a first-class modern gamepad manufacturer. In the hand, the 8BitDo Ultimate Wireless feels closer to a standard XBox controller than an Elite... but even though it's not in that $200 gamepad class, it's still a noticeable step above the standard XBox controllers. The sticks, d-pad, buttons, triggers, etc all have a more satisfying tactile feel than the Microsoft standard, even if they are not quite as "clicky" as the Elites. There are also just two paddle buttons on the back (left & right), instead of four. This also comes with a docking station that acts as both a charging cradle AND a wireless receiver. And in wonderful little quality-of-life detail, the gamepad automatically turns itself on and connects merely by lifting it from its cradle. The responsiveness also appears to be excellent. Subjectively speaking ( I didn't take any scientific measurements or anything), I am pretty sure this has significantly better latency than the XBox Elite does. I tried both controllers (XBox Elite Series 2 vs 8BitDo Ultimate Wireless) on Guilty Gear Strive, Elden Ring, and Dead Cells and the 8BitDo ABSOLUTELY felt more responsive. Note: In both cases, I was using the controllers wirelessly using official wireless adapters. Summary: For now, this is my new go-to gamepad for PC gaming. I am absolutely done with Microsoft's overpriced, broadly defective, and generally unreliable Elite series. This may not be as satisfying to hold, but it's also 1/4 the price an Elite... and I think it's just generally a better controller for, you know, actual gaming. Review: Amazing controller. Worth the price! - Works great out of the box, even without installing software. Although installing the software greatly improves the experience. With it, you can remap the entire controller. For example you can change the triggers to register as the shoulder buttons, or you can swap the R3 click buttons while retaining the direction mode (move/turn) of the sticks. Did you get used to the Nintendo Switch layout over the holidays like me? You can swap the A, B, X, and Y buttons or any combination as well. You're able to create profiles and switch between alternate setups on-the-fly. Comes with two extra paddle buttons on the back that can be added to the three extra profiles The default profile doesn't utilize them. Play older PC games with the Direct Input switch on the back. The controller feels just right in my hands, and doesn't feel cheap to me. Rumble has a good feel to it. The analog sticks are very good in my opinion and the dead-zones for all analog controls can be edited in the software from the bottom or the top of their ranges. I haven't used them myself yet but you can also set up macros. Plus, anything you edit doesn't require the software to be running. After you're done editing, the software will save the settings directly to the controller. The included dock is very convenient. Just set the controller on the dock and it disconnects and begins charging, notifying you with a pleasant LED light. This light turns off when the controller is fully charged. If for some reason you don't want to use the dock, you can remove the USB receiver from the bottom of the dock and plug it into your PC. The controller has a USB-C port on its top for charging or plug and play. Had no problems installing this on my PC. I use Windows 10. I also installed to a Windows 7 PC which has some older games on it and both the controller and software work on that OS as well. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase. ## Features - Compatible with iPhone, iPad, macOS and Apple TV now.

As my first 8bitdo controller, I can say that this controller lived up to their reputation. First of what impressed me most, which is the ease of use. You connect a usb dongle to your PC and it just works. The controller comes with a dock, no power brick but you can just connect into one you already have or directly into a usb slot on your power strip. You put your controller on, it goes to sleep and charges. You take it off, the controller automatically wakes and your PC just recognizes it. Amazing. The build quality is high and the form factor is near perfect in shape and size. The buttons feel incredible and don't make a loud sound when you press them, plus you get a couple buttons on the backside of the controller. The analog sticks have a heavy but smooth feel to them. I don't really know any other way to describe it. Compared to a Joy con you can immediately feel that the Joy con sticks are trash compared to these. I'd be comfortably saying that these sticks are as good as the ones on the Dualsense controller and much better than the ones featured on the Xbox controllers or the Switch Pro controller. However, the best thing about the build quality of this controller is the dpad. Absolutely, hands down the best dpad in the business. Better than any dpad Xbox has made, on par the SNES dpad, which Nintendo has never replicated to the same success and Sony with their style of a button based dpad can't compare. My only gripe about this controller, is that much like the Xbox Elite, it has a very scratchy textured grip on the back. I don't like that. It's not sandpaper bad or anything but it's a annoyance. I'd prefer a more rubberized grip texture like what the Xbox Series Forza Horizon controller has. To sum it up, a near perfect controller for PC. ## Frequently Bought Together - 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4g Wireless Controller With Charging Dock, 2.4g Controller for PC, Android, Steam Deck & iPhone, iPad, macOS and Apple TV (Black) - 8Bitdo Ultimate 2.4g Wireless Controller with Charging Dock for Windows, Android & Raspberry Pi (White) - JSAUX Docking Station for Steam Deck/ROG Ally/Legion Go/MSI Claw, 6-in-1 Steam Deck Dock with HDMI 4K@60Hz, Gigabit Ethernet, 3 USB-A 3.0 and 100W Charge, Compatible with Steam Deck OLED-HB0603 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/465579098-8bitdo-ultimate-2-4g](https://www.desertcart.at/products/465579098-8bitdo-ultimate-2-4g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
