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

I have the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 for windows and was having some issues with it on the switch 2 (it works flawlessly on PC.) I decided to get this one exclusively for my switch 2, and it works so well! It connects instantly and stays connected. The battery life is really good and the camera button actually works. I've also used this one on PC a little and it does work well. I like the feel of the Ultimate 2 vs the 2C. The 2 has more weight to it and the topside feels nicer, but overall the 2C is still great, plus it's a lot cheaper. The 2C doesn't have the back paddle buttons, but I'm not a fan of those in the first place. The joysticks feel smooth and well made and the D-pad is pretty good for retro gaming. This is definitely a good budget controller and I expect it to last a long time. Also, I didn't need to update mine for Switch 2, it was already on the latest firmware.

I had been looking for a controller with Hall Effect sticks and turbo functionality to shiny hunt in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. I was recommended this by a friend, here are my thoughts: Pros: - It isn't light. It has an excellent weight to it that makes it feel very high quality. - It is 90% compatible with Switch 2, something I was having a hard time finding. - The turbo is very easy to use and works incredibly well, it turns Metroid Dread into a bullet hell. - The sticks feel different than a normal Pro Controller, but in a good way. They are easier to move thanks to the Hall Effect, and from what I have read, almost completely drift-proof. - I haven't used them, but the programmable buttons are a nice add-on for people with unique setups. - Buttons are very responsive, and also have an excellent weight to them; they aren't too sensitive nor are they delayed. - If the controller is left unused for a certain amount of time, it turns itself off to preserve battery. - Speaking of battery, the battery life is also excellent. I believe it has around 50-60 hours of life before it dies. - The controller also connects to PC if plugged in and works the same. Cons: - The controller is not able to turn the Switch 2 on remotely. You have to turn the Switch on by hand, and THEN connect the controller (this is that 10% it isn't compatible with). - Occasionally, the controller will connect weirdly, and the Switch will think that it has low battery, and only the D-pad will work. This is easily fixed by turning the controller off and on again but can be annoying. - There is one game that I have found the controller to not work with, and that is Apex Legends. Every input is delayed by about 3-5 seconds, including the sticks, and I'm not sure why. This is the only time I have had it not work. Overall, so long as you are not planning to play Apex Legends with this controller, I highly recommend it for anyone wanting Hall Effect sticks and turbo functionality. It is a steal at this price.

This is, hands down, the single most comfortable controller I have ever used. The buttons are clicky and responsive, the sticks are smooth and particular, the battery life is excellent for my needs, and it has been compatible with my Switch as well as my PC. It's a bit on the bulkier side, but I have above average sized hands and find this controller literally *LITERALLY* just sinks into my hands. It's crazy. Love it. Heavily recommend.

I love this thing! It's an inexpensive, solid controller that feels great and has a cute color. Pros: + Works with Switch and Switch 2, as well as PC! + Comfortable fit, even for big hands + Bumpers, d-pad, sticks, and buttons all feel great. Well-suited to many game genres. + Has rumble (but not HD rumble) + Includes a matching USB to USB-C cable + Kid-approved Cons: - No analog triggers. This doesn't matter for Switch games, but is not ideal if you use it for racing games on PC. - On Switch, no NFC scanning (Amiibo), IR camera, or LED notifications. - "L4" and "R4" buttons do not seem as helpful as the paddles found on controllers like the 8Bitdo Pro 2 - Can't completely replace a joy-con for some party games (such as Nintendo Switch Sports)

the dpad is a slight bit mushy imo, and the bumpers (l1/r1) are a bit sensitive but otherwise zero complaints as of now. The texture is nice and the buttons are all (except the dpad) quite clicky. there are zero issues with dropped inputs and the turbo & programmable buttons all work properly if any more issues pop up I will update my review but as of now I highly recommend this controller, though do note it does not support nfc.

For $30, this controller is absolutely remarkable! While I understand that the official Switch pro controller has some specific features that these lack such as HD Rumble and NFC, I find the quality of these 8bitdo ones to be significantly better. I currently have 2 of these, with a third on the way. In all my tests the 8bitdo controllers have provided consistent and accurate inputs throughout. For people looking to use this for PC games, the digital triggers will make this incompatible or ill suited for quite a few of them. That said, if you're playing on the Switch, these are the triggers your console was designed to use. There are far too many third party Switch controllers using analog triggers. The Switch cannot read analog input values, so the extra effort of pressing those triggers down is wasted on it. The rumble that's present on the controllers, while not Nintendo's HD rumble, is plenty immersive and works well. Gyro is also a much appreciated feature to have at this price point. Wake up works quickly for me every time. Don't forget to give them a little shake, or it won't work. Looks shouldn't matter as much as any of the above, but it most certainly doesn't hurt that these controllers look fantastic in every color. I will update my review, if I run into any early wear issues, but at this time, I strongly recommend these for playing on the Switch.

This is significantly better than Nintendo's own Pro controller. We don't usually use the Joyconns, but this is better than those too. Primarily, this controller has particularly great quality joysticks, and that's important to me. The buttons have good tactile feedback and don't ever stick. The bluetooth connection is strong and connects near instantaneously on either the Switch console itself, or a PC. The battery life is at least the 18 hours stated in the instructions. Usually more like 20+. And the charge time is minimal. Maybe a tenth of that. So 2 ish hours or so from zero to full power. Can be used while charging as well. Force feedback and motion control are also exceptional. One thing that surprised me, the underside of the handles is also covered in a grid like textured pattern that avoids slip in your grip. Tough to see in the pictures. Nice feel and heft to it. For the tech savvy, you can even update the firmware of these devices from 8bitdo themselves. You rarely get such long term support from a 3rd party device, but 8bitdo comes through. Seriously a fantastic company. Those who know use 8bitdo. If I have one complaint, it'd be that the small LED indicator for low battery starts flashing at too high a percentage remaining power. It's on the side facing away from the player, so not annoying. But the device will probably run at least 5 hours after the first time you see it blink. When the kids want to play, gone are the days of arguing to use the Nintendo branded controller. They'd rather play with this one instead. So the Nintendo Pro ends up player 2. I'm confident in recommending this controller to friends, family, and complete strangers. Definitely will buy again. Hope you enjoy.

Good quality but short battery life.

Mi opinion despues de casi un año de uso es la siguiente. Este control lo compre específicamente por los precios de los mandos oficiales de Nintendo y lo caros que pueden ser, y debo decir que por el precio de $600 (que yo pagué cuando lo compré) bien desquita su precio, eso si al principio conectarlo al Switch 2 fue un desafío porque en ninguna parte decia que debías de actualizar el firmware del control si querias usarlo con el Switch 2, tuve que buscar un tutoríal en Youtube para saber que pasaba y actualizarlo, pero fuera de eso, la vibración es adecuada, el control bien un peso agradable en las manos, esta muy bien texturizado, es "rugoso" (les dejo fotos donde espero me de a entender en cuanto a la textura) para hacerlo cómodo incluso si juegas por varias horas seguida, las palancas botones y sobre todo los botones L2 y R2 debo decirlo se siente mucho mejor que muchos otros mandos mucho mas caros y de otras consolas, este te da una mejor precisión, ejemplo actualmente estoy jugando Fatal Frame y con los mandos del Switch 2, no es que sean incomodos pero se hace muchísimo mejor los Fatal Frame a los fantasmas con el control de 8Bitdo, te permite tener una mejor respuesta del personaje y los gatillos son sensibles, he mejorado mi desempeño en el juego gracias a el, así mismo las palancas están texturizadas y son "rugosas" (les dejo fotos donde espero me de a entender en cuanto a la textura) para que no se te resbalen y pierdas si por ejemplo juegas algo con disparos, debo decir que por $600 este control es sumamente accesible, si su precio sube en mi opinión lo vale y si encuentras una oferta no lo pienses, comprátelo, dado que es muy bueno y sin dudas compraría otro, ya sea para mi o para regalarlo a un amigo, debería ser mas costoso por el producto que te dan y aún así no lo es y en mi opinión es mejor que los de Nintendo, si quieres algo accesible funcional y bueno este control te funciona a ti. Ahora en cuestiones como la duración de la batería, no es como que me haya puesto a tomarle el tiempo de uso con un cronometro pero no dudaría que sea lo que el fabricante y la descripción indican, esta dura bastante y algo que me gustó es que el control es compatible con carga rápida y puedes usar cualquier cable usb c que tengas, tarda en cargarse unas 2 horas y dura unas 15 horas la pila aprox. Creo que lo unico negativo que le encontré es a la hora de brincar entre consolas, ejemplo cuando voy a la casa de un amigo mio que tambien tiene un Switch 2 nos tardamos en conectar mi control al suyo, no es difícil pero es a veces confuso y tardado, se podria decir que una vez que lo conectas a una consola el mando le sera "fiel" y descontectarlo y desvincularlo es posible pero si lo haces ten en cuenta que cuando desees a regresar a tu consola tendrás que hacer la vinculación desde cero.

Controle de qualidade, confortável e bonito. Conectou quase que no mesmo instante, apenas a bateria que poderia durar um pouco mais. Pelo preço, é ótimo, numa promoção, é perfeito! Pacote chegou rápido mesmo sendo internacional, a caixa veio um pouco amassada, mas dentro estava intacto.

I've never in 30yrs bought a 3rd party controller but with all the stick drift issues these days I bought this controller after an LTT review. It's fantastic, feels premium and has all the features of the switch pro controller except waking the switch from sleep. The rumble feels good, the sticks and buttons all feel great , 0 complaining about this

Me gustó mucho, el color es precioso, el cable es también rosa lo que me pareció buen detalle, se siente de buen peso, todos los botones y joysticks se mueven muy bien, se conecta fácilmente y también tiene vibración, me parece excelente por el precio. Obviamente es uso exclusivo para Switch y funciona Perfecto, incluso mejor que usando los controles incluidos con la consola, más cómodo.

Produto chegou bem embalado. É muito bonito e atendeu demais às expectativas. Funciona muito bem no Nintendo Switch 1. Recomendo! Oba: tirei a foto com baixa iluminação para mostrar a luzinha que tem no meio, que é um charme.
