5.0 out of 5 stars Best wireless controller ever ! Love the charging cradle
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2024
No more dealing with crappy micro usb on my dualshock 4 and xbox one controllers. USB C if i need it. Bluetooth if i need it. Charging cradle. This thing is awesome.

I usually buy 1st party controllers (microsoft/sony), this is my first "3rd party" controller in quite some time and i am very pleased with them.

Ergonomics are wonderful, feel great in the hands and the buttons are responsive. Overall build quality is excellent. Can't recommend these enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best, most comfortable controller I've ever used.

This is really an amazing controller. I absolutely love the way it feels and it just works flawlessly. Simple plug and play. This is the 2.4Ghz only - so I can't connect it to my phone. But I am definitely getting a Bluetooth version as well because it's truly perfectly balanced. Looks really awesome with the led charging light at the bottom of the dock, too. Thank you Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Alternative to Xbox Controllers
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2024
This controller is a steal for $50. Before buying this controller, I used an official Xbox controller, and it was great in its own right, but this controller is much more convenient, coming with its own dock and no longer needing AA batteries. Simply put, this controller just works flawlessly. Want to play a PC game? Simply take the controller off the dock and it automatically connects. And when you're finished playing, place it back on the dock and it automatically disconnects and starts changing. It has a comfortable feel in the hand, and the extra buttons on the back are a nice addition.

Staggering amount of controller for the price! I just wanted something no-nonsense with reliable connectivity for couch use, and wasn't going to shell out nearly double for an Xbox pad + dongle + dock. I found myself pleasantly surprised even given how good their previous controllers I've gotten have been.

Pros:
So far, flawless experience with software+profiles, connection, and battery (hasn't died on me once). My Pro 2 had some Xinput connection drops on bluetooth, it's good to see that wasn't a trend. I also love that the dock functions as a holder for the 2.5G adapter.
Back buttons are convenient and quiet.
D-pad: This one is actually good. I don't know if it's QC or what, but d-pads on all my previous 8Bitdo controllers have felt inferior to Xbox or Sony 1st party pads despite rave reviews. This one is clicky and positive.
Size: It feels a bit smaller than a first-party xbox controller, and I can comfortable claw grip it for medium periods of time. I expected to have to reach for my Pro 2 more often.
Rumble: Strong proper dual rumble with no noticeable rattle.

Cons/nitpicks:
Back buttons cannot be rebound to keyboard or mouse keys. This limits flexibility a bit for Steam remapping etc. This is just a limit of the software however and not specific to this unit.
Flat-top design: The bumpers leading into a flat top feels a bit like form over function. However, the shoulder buttons are well placed and easy to press so it's not really a negative.
Features: Obviously, this lacks the BT connectivity + Gyro controls of the Ultimate Pro. Since I have a Pro 2 with both of those, it's a non-issue for me, but for an only controller I would have sprang for the Pro.
Dock pins: These are a little too easy to wiggle loose when knocking against your desk etc. However, I admit I toss the controller onto the dock most of the time and it usually just settles down and starts charging, so it's clearly well designed.

Overall I would say for most users this is probably the only gamepad they'd need. It's very solid and premium feeling in the hand, high quality materials, and the buttons and D-pad all feel excellent. If you do a lot of emulation or are on the go a lot, it lacks a few features for that but outside of edge cases it's a fantastic unit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Purple model Prone to jamming
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2024
I love these controllers. This is my 2nd one. I previously bought the pink one and have been using it regularly for a few months. I love the analog sticks are hall effect. No more stuck drift hopefully. I had doubts about the pogo pin charging station but it's been reliable and convenient.

I bought this 2nd one for couch coop gaming. The original pink one has no issues in the same environment and works flawlessly. I returned one of the purple ones as I was having disconnection issues.

When I moved the new controller to a different better shielded PC in a metal case I had no issues after a few hours of open world 3rd person gaming. The minis forum mini PC I used this new purple controller causes enough interference on the 2.4ghz band that the receiver cannot work reliably and would have phantom inputs and disconnect after a few minutes of play

I don't know what 8bit do does on the 2.4 frequency but one is reliable and one isn't. 4 stars for an excellent controller but the reliability will vary PC to PC depending on the RF environment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best controller for PC
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2024
If you are looking for a good controller for Steam, look no further! Hall Effect sticks mean no stick drift, 2.4 ghz connection means very stable and low input latency, and the button config is the default for most PC games (most PC games are Xbox button prompts by default)!

The most important for me is that connected to the pc is so easy, you simply take it off the charging dock and it connects automatically, then put it back on the dock to disconnect.

My only complaint is that the form factor is a little small, and not quite as comfortable as the Xbox or PS5 controllers. I would give comfortability an 8/10, everything is a 10/10 though.

Overall, the best controller I've ever used for PC
