Firmware Update- Review: Good... But feels quite cheap, compared to standard Xbox & past model/cheaper priced 8BitDo pads - Its a good controller, after watching ETA Primes review on Youtube (beginning of November) and trusting his opinion I pre-ordered both black and white controllers (for £60 each). I received the white controller on release (around 17th November if I remember correct, I even got a £5 refund as it released at a slightly cheaper price of £55)... 1 week later and the black controller hadn't arrived and there was no update on any expected delivery, so I just cancelled it - the time delay also enabled me to come to my senses and realise I have stupid amount of controllers as it is... x9 8BitDo, x2 Elite 2's, x1 Elite 1, Nintendo Switch Pro (to be fair I got most of the 8BitDo controllers in a job lot on eBay and awesomely they all worked with no issues, so if you are in doubt or unsure I can confirm reliability on 8BitDo controllers is excellent, you can also very easily flash updated firmware's). With regards to this new 8BitDo "Ultimate" controller, I got the slightly more expensive Bluetooth/2.4ghz version, it pairs fine with Windows and overall works as a controller should (Note:- PC gamers are overall superior people compared to the console pleb generation hehe :-p Xbox and Playstation can debate which is better till the cows come home, in the meantime PC gamers will sit silently judging you on your poor life choices :-)) kidding... Maybe). I have positives and negatives and firstly I'll explain my slightly NEGATIVE thoughts and this is in regards to the controller and its plastics feeling very cheap, especially the R1 & L1 shoulder buttons as they have a very mushy unpleasant click. The analogue R2 and L2 is quite a short throw as well and the angle your fingers sit at/have to hold the controller to access shoulder buttons just doesn't feel as comfortable/natural as it does on a standard Xbox controller or even the likes of the 8bitdo SN30 pro+ (basically that 8BitDo controller I am referencing is similar to a Playstation 2 shape but with a proper D-Pad) - Although I guess that is entirely subjective, it might feel fine for you. That being said this is not enough of a reason to dismiss the controller, but it was enough of a reason to make me realise I didn't need a second one and therefore the deciding reason I cancelled the black controller which I had pre-ordered. The POSITIVE and I think the primary reason most folks are intrigued and will buy this controller is because of the hall effect sensor technology - in short zero chance of stick drift. I wouldn't buy into any reviewers on Youtube saying greater accuracy with the analogue sticks and do not believe this technology will markedly improve your gaming abilities - However, If you need to believe that to justify the purchase to yourself then by all means go for it. My other positive is that the D-Pad feels particularly decent - its actually quite a large D-Pad. I use emulators for retro gaming and like playing the original '96 version of Resident Evil (PC and emulator versions) and RE1 uses tank controls, which lends itself better to this 8BitDo D-Pad as opposed to the 3 times the price, clicky and unnatural feeling Elite 2 D-Pad. To me, I think the most sensible option is grab an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller when they're on offer/second hand on desertcart (I got one 4 months ago, "used" from desertcart but in reality the box was scuffed/controller brand new and it cost the reasonable sum of £63)... You can then use what is a high quality and very nice/premium feeling controller till your hearts content and then IF stick drift ever happens, buy the little control board that easily solders in (I got 10 of them/so 5 controllers worth for £6 on eBay - Not had to use them yet but I am considering preventative maintenance and pre-installing them to have at the ready). Once installed this mod lets you use a screwdriver to adjust the values on the analogue potentiometer and therefore correct any analogue anomalies - so effectively with that simple mod, stick drift will never write off your controller and you will always be able to quickly and easily fix it. Anyway, that's my thoughts. Review: Perfect controller ... almost. (PC user) - Feels and operates perfectly. Can customise buttons, sticks and vibrations. Has an extra two customizable buttons on the back of the grips too. Excellent built in rechargeable battery. Exceptional price relative to an official Xbox controller. Every bit as good an an official controller too. The dock also keeps things very tidy and looks great. The perfect controller ... almost. The only slightly odd fault occurs if you use the 2.4g wireless dongle directly in a PC USB port, and not inside the controller dock itself that is plugged into the PC via USB: you may find the controller randomly disconnects and reconnects if you do this (I have no idea why - maybe some kind of interference between the dongle's wireless signal and PC?) But with the dongle connected via the dock itself, this doesn't happen at all, ever. This is an issue that other users have noted online in forums too, not just me. Maybe it's only with some peoples set ups - who knows? I guess it's only really an issue if it happens with a laptop on the go (that doesn't have bluetooth) that you only want to bring the dongle along with for portability purposes (and not the dock). Or, if like me, you didn't realise that you were meant to plug the USB into the dock itself, and then connect the dock to the PC, rather than connecting both separately. Be mindful of this if you have disconnect/reconnect issues and are wondering why. Aside from that, couldn't ask for better: Brilliant controller! ## Features - Compatible with Switch via Bluetooth and Windows with a 2.4g adapter - Multifunctional Charging Dock - Stable connection and controller will be automatically switching ON/OFF while it is docked/undocked. - Hall Effect Sensing Joystick - Ultimate Software on PC and mobile (Android/iOS) - 2 Pro back paddle buttons, Custom Profile Switch Button, Player indicators & 2-way Mode Switching button, Rumble vibration, motion controls, USB-C, 22 hours rechargeable battery. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B9BDMWWN | | Batteries | 1 Lithium Polymer batteries required.

The best way to check would be to check 8bitdo's website. I bought mine for switch and pc gaming so not sure about the ps5 as I don't have one **Q: does this work with android/chromeos?** A: I can say for sure it does work for android, as it has built in Bluetooth, not too sure about chrome OS, you may need to find a software to swap the face buttons though. **Q: Can this wake up the Switch? Conflicting answers on here** A: If the switch is in sleep mode you can wake it using the 8bitdo controller by pressing the home button on the controller and gently shaking it. Pressing home starts a slow blinking light, shaking it makes it go quicker and that way you know it is sending the signal to wake the switch. It's quite cute and you get used to the extra motion quite easily. In fact I quite often shake my regular joycon controller just out of habit when powering on using that. **Q: Will this work on a MacBook, i.e. specifically MacOS, not iOS. I can't seem to get a clear answer.** A: If you use Bluetooth it will connect to your MacBook, but the 2.4 GHz dongle won’t. The 2.4 GHz only version (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Controller-Charging-Windows-Android/dp/B0B9BR6H7N) works with MacBook by dongle, but doesn’t have Bluetooth. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good...

They sell replaceable parts since everything has wear and tear eventually something may need replacing for it to feel brand new but with this controller it feels high quality enough that it would take A LOT of usage for any wear and tear to happen Has a nice software to use as well to change certain aspects of the controller My ONLY personal complaint about this controller is that their are gaps in the outer shell of the controller and I am prone for my dead skin getting stuck in these spots, it's fine to clean out but if it was an entirely smooth outer shell, for me, it would be the undeniable GOAT of controllers : ) ## Frequently Bought Together - 8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller with Charging Dock, Wireless Pro Controller with Hall Effect Sensing Joystick, Compatible with Switch, Windows and Steam Deck (White) - 8BitDo Classic Controller Travel Case for 8BitDo Ultimate Controller with Charging Dock --- ## 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/468300798-8bitdo-ultimate-bluetooth-and-2-4g-controller-with-charging-dock](https://www.desertcart.at/products/468300798-8bitdo-ultimate-bluetooth-and-2-4g-controller-with-charging-dock) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
