8Bitdo Ultimate 2C Hall Effect Joysticks Bluetooth Controller with Remappable L4/R4 Bumpers, 6-axis Motion Control, Rumble Vibration and Turbo Function for Switch/Switch 2 (Blue)

I charges for about 15 minutes when I first got it and I've been using it for a couple of weeks now with my MacBook and it works great. I still cannot understand how to program the programmable buttons but even without using that feature it is a very solid controller. It is definitely on par with OEM in terms of build quality and materials and it did not have stick drift right out of the box which is more than I can say for my $150 PS5 controller.There are a few games that do not recognize the controller and I realize it could be a game programming issue. The good news is is the OS does recognize the controller and you can use a remapping utility to add support for any games that don't support the controller on its own.Even with the minor inconveniences this is by far the best most inexpensive controller I have ever purchased and I am very impressed with this company.It seems as if all those five star reviews that people are leaving are warranted after all. Highly recommended!

LOVE this 8bitdo ultimate 2C bluetooth controller. With the firmware update it also works on the Switch 2 which is where we use it on. We pick this controller up way more than the switch 2 controllers or the pros. The joysticks, buttons and overall feel are fantastic. We've not noticed any stick drift and all the buttons have been very responsive.It does NOT wake the Switch 2 however, so keep that in mind. Yes you will need to hit the power button on the switch itself...not a deal breaker for us.The battery is pretty decent as we've only had to charge it about once a week with 1~2 hours of use per day. I wish they made this in more colors so we could get a set of 4.Warning! make sure you get the Bluetooth version, 8Bitdo make a ton of different variants that all look similar but not all work on the Switch 2.

I've been using this controller for the better part of a month now, and I have to say that I love it for the most part. The build quality is great. The buttons, control sticks, and rumble are all excellent for a third party controller. I also love the hall effect joy sticks that don't drift. Incredible overall build quality.HOWEVER... If you play Super Smash Bros Ultimate competitively like I do, you will find that the latency of the controller gets inconsistent when really pushed. I assume that the Bluetooth connection is super susceptible to interference, and input latency tends to skyrocket. I have no latency problems when connected to steam, only when it's connected to the Nintendo Switch or Switch 2, and is especially bad when streaming your games to Youtube or Twitch.If you're just a normal gamer, you will enjoy this controller. If you're looking for a dedicated smash controller that lasts a long time, pass this one up.

This is an awesome controller in terms of both quality and value. It essentially offers the premium feel and features of any flagship 8BitDo controller. It does have a few connectivity quirks when trying to use it on Android or PC because it defaults to the Nintendo button layout.However, using it on a Switch or Switch 2 is a completely straightforward experience. You just sync it up exactly like any other pro controller. I really can't say this enough, but the overall build quality and comfort are superb. My only real complaint is the color selection. I just wish they offered more options besides all of these pastel colors, which in my opinion are a bit boring and very hard to match with setups

The controller died and is non-responsive after only a few months. No support from Amazon or 8bit.

Good for small hands! This controller is much better than the Switch 2 joy on grip. It's lighter, easier to hold and has better button placement than the joycons.The controller paired instantly with Switch 2 and did not need a firmware update as the descqription text suggests.There are 2 things I don't like so much. The buttons are clicky and loud but I will get used to that. The vibration is also emanating from the controller "head" and not in the grips so there is less of a feedback feel. The vibration is also quite strong and that can be distracting.The grips are lightly textured so it won't feel slippery if your hands sweat.Over all, this controller is a very good value.

Best brand of third party controller out there period. I highly recommend these over anything made by Power A. I’m scratching my head as to how those get Nintendo’s seal of quality and these somehow do not. I’ve never had a wireless power A but I had 2 wired ones that didn’t last 2 months complete garbage these work great. I did have an issue with a game called overcooked and its sequel disconnecting when using these but I’ve tested many other games without any issues for some reason those games don’t like those controllers but other than that they are perfect (just got through playing a 30 turns game of Mario party jamboree with zero issues) and I’ve been using 8 bit do controllers they make for other consoles Iike retro consoles for several years now and they work flawlessly. The build quality is better than I’ve ever seen with any other 3rd party controller.

Great controller.It cannot turn the Switch module on, but otherwise, it is perfect.

For a third of the price of a Switch 2 Pro Controller, you really can’t go wrong with this.PROS:- Connecting to my Switch 2 worked right out the box. Pretty seamless, the Switch thinks that it’s an actual Switch Pro controller.- Build quality is great. Doesn’t feel cheap at all. Has some nice weight and does t strain the hands even after long periods of gaming.- Buttons and joystick feels amazing.- Two remappable buttons and turbo mode- two thumb grips were included (wish they colour matched these though).CONS:- the vibration/rumble is nowhere close to joycons or the Pro controller. It is significantly harsher and doesn’t feel as “accurate” as a result.- noticeable input lag with the two remappable buttons (“L4” & “R4”).- DPAD wobble but this is quite minor.

Feels like a premium Nintendo controller, does not feel after market or cheap in any way. Button travel is perfect joysticks are nice and smooth along with being responsive in the way you would expect. Honestly blown away and will buy more from this brand.

Bad quality. Didn't even last 2 months. No warranty. Contacted 8bitdo for warranty, and they referred me back to Amazon, which is pointless. If you buy one of these, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY WARRANTY!!! They may as well say it only has a 30 day warranty, through Amazon, because that's all you'll get!My left stick started "sticking" in a spot, and started to drift. I ran the calibrate utility on the Nintendo Switch dozens of times. Constantly would come out of calibration, and then drift. When I'd rotate the stick in the calibration process, I noticed a spot it would stick on. Eventually, the stick just jammed at this spot, and when I moved it beyond, it just broke. Less then 100 hours of playtime on this thing, and nothing crazy, just Stardew and Mario Galaxy.

L2 becomes stuck very easily, right out of the box. Can't enjoy any games with it.EDIT. So I used some WD40 and it works flawlessly now. Still new with it but it feels like a solid controller and at a good price.

I got this controller as a replacement for my slowly failing Switch 1 Pro Controller (ProCon), and while it is quite nice with many great features, I found the ProCon to be much more comfortable for my hands. More on the comfort below. The 8bitdo controller has clicky bumpers and they feel great. The triggers are digital, and seem to have a membrane that feel pretty good. The d-pad has some light tactile feedback which is a great improvement on the ProCon and Switch 2 version. Rocking on the d-pad is also accurate, I rarely get a missed input when doing so. The face buttons have a bit too much travel to them and are quite loud, I feel like mashing the face buttons are more tiring than on the official Nintendo controllers. The turbo functions are a nice addition though, helpful for mashing in Animal Crossing as a recent example. The anti-friction ring for the joy sticks is an improvement compared to the ProCon, but both controllers smoothness pale in comparison to the Switch 2 Pro Controller. The texture of the controller is nice slightly textured on the front, and grippy around the grips. It feels noticeably light, but it is not an issue. Definitely lighter than the ProCon. The rumble is a bit too strong even after adjusting it, and makes unplayable with gyro controls in Splatoon. The gyro controllers are accurate though.I have slightly smaller than average hands, but I find the joysticks to be taller than the ProCon and it causes me additional strain for my thumbs. And the same can be said for the placement of the d-pad, I feel like I have to reach a bit further.So my main reservations about this controller is the ergonomics, and the volume of the face buttons. I also wish the face buttons were more clicky.I would suggest the Nintendo Pro Controllers for Switch 1 or 2 as your first controller as you still get the fully intended experience, or even the 8bitdo Pro2 if you really just need a good d-pad. But as a secondary pro controller for multiplayer, this is an excellent choice.
