5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic PC Controller
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2024
This controller is easily one of the best I've used, and has been my go-to ever since I bought it. The plastic feels great to the touch, the buttons are all satisfying to press, and the joysticks feel great too. I love the two programmable back buttons, I usually have them set to A and B which works for most games, and you can set 3 different profiles on the controller in case a specific game uses different buttons more often.

The Ultimate Software is feature rich and detailed, allowing you to remap all the buttons, set joystick deadzones, and even the triggers can have deadzones applied if you want to. I especially like the turbo setting for games that want you to repeatedly tap an input, and it's super to set on the fly. Just hold the button you want to turbo and press the middle "Star" button and you're set. The LED ring on the front will even blink repeatedly to let you know that you have Turbo enabled, which is great and something pther controllers don't do.

By far my favorite feature is the included dock, I wish every controller had this included. The dock has a compartment on the bottom for the 2.4ghz adapter and a passthrough design so you can plug the dock into your computer and be connected to your pc whenever you need it. When you're gonna play, just pick up the controller and it instantly turns on and connects to your pc, and when you're done just pop it back on the dock and the controller will automatically turn off and start charging. It even has a slim white LED along the bottom of the dock to show you the charging status. Seriously, this one feature alone is a major selling point, I can't overstate how convenient and easy to use this controller is.

Maybe it’s just me I’ve tried using Xbox controllers for PC in the past and always have had just a small degree of difficulty. This controller works perfectly from the start . Set up was easy, controller feels great. Has all the elements I would’ve wanted. Controller vibration is good, functionality is good. I am very impressed. It has Hall effect joysticks and Bluetooth as well as included dongle in a stowaway compartment on the bottom. One disappointment I ordered the purple and it’s a lot darker than what appears in the photo but not a dealbreaker it’s still looks great just would’ve been nice if it was a lighter purple. Overall, I believe I will be ordering another one maybe a different color although the purple is nice. Also the light on the bottom that comes on when it’s charging is awesome.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Controller

Great controller; very premium feel and it works very reliably. I rated it 5 stars because it exceeded expectations. Really nicer quality than my console controllers. My only small feedback is that I wish it was larger -- my hands are relatively large, and this is on the border of being too small.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great controller, just a bit too small if you have larger hands.

I’m rating this 5 stars because for most people this will be a great controller. Unfortunately I’ll be returning mine, because it’s a good bit smaller than a standard Xbox controller and I have larger hands, so the ergonomics aren’t great for me, more specifically the grips are too short. I dislike the Playstation style triggers in most games, though I will say it really shines in any driving/racing games, as you can hold the controller claw grip, and use the bumpers for shifting, and holding it claw grip eliminates the size issue, and the Playstation style triggers are great for throttle and brake control. You get a great controller with hall effect sticks, a dock, and programmable buttons for the same cost as an Xbox core controller, just be aware that it’s a bit small, and the version that I got (2.4G, no bluetooth) will NOT work with Nintendo switch, though it’s not advertised as working with it so that’s to be expected.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reliable and Well-Built with a Minor Setup Hiccup

The 8Bitdo Ultimate 2.4G Wireless Controller is an excellent choice for gamers seeking a high-quality third-party controller. It offers a feel and design closely resembling an Xbox controller, making it comfortable and familiar for those used to Microsoft's layout. The controller has a decent weight, contributing to a solid and satisfying gaming experience.

One of the standout features is its construction and materials. Unlike many other third-party controllers that often feel cheap or flimsy, the 8Bitdo Ultimate feels well-made and durable, promising longevity even with frequent use. The buttons and joysticks are responsive, enhancing overall gameplay.

However, there is a minor downside to be aware of. The Bluetooth/WiFi dongle is hidden inside the charger base and accessed from the bottom, which can be a bit tricky to locate initially. I initially thought the product didn’t include the dongle as advertised, but after some research, I discovered its location. This setup quirk might cause a bit of frustration during the initial setup, but it’s a one-time hassle.

Overall, the 8Bitdo Ultimate 2.4G Wireless Controller delivers on quality and performance, offering a comfortable and reliable gaming experience. Despite the slight inconvenience with the dongle placement, it’s a solid investment for anyone looking to enhance their gaming setup with a dependable and well-designed controller.

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
