Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this controller when the Xbox One controller that I typically use to play PC games just wasn't responsive. I knew that I wanted a controller with hall effect sensors, as I have had drift problems with controllers in the past with PS4 and Switch controllers. I really like this one so far. First off, the controller cradle is a great touch. It has a space to keep the wireless dongle, and with the USB-C cable in the box, the dongle works inside the cradle just fine. Once I take it off of it, the controller wakes up automatically and connects within two seconds. This is great, usually controllers take around fifteen seconds or longer to pair to the computer, but this connects just fine. The controller is very comfortable. If you've held a Switch Pro Controller, it's kinda like one of those. It has ridges on the handles that have become commonplace with the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X controllers. There is a switch on the back of the controller that switches it between Xinput and DirectInput. I keep it on Xinput most of the time, because that's usually supported on most games. I game on Linux (because I could go on all day about how just awful Windows is, especially Windows 11), and the controller works just fine with Linux. I did not need to install any special drivers to get it to work, it just works out of the box. If you're looking for a good controller to play your PC games on, get this.

Great controller, easy to set up. Plug & play. Will definitely be purchasing again.

Will probably end up buying a second one for my wife to use, fits hands very well

One of the best 3rd party wireless controllers in existence. Perfect for PC and Steam Deck. The hall effect joysticks are great, the range is great, and overall the feel of the joystick is sublime. Will definitely buy more.

The value of 8bitdo's offerings is simply unmatched. My househould has 3 of these currently and I will always recommend them if they maintain their consistency.

I happened to stumble upon this controller and bought it randomly. The reviews online were pretty decent. Since I've started playing more games on my PC, I've been wanting to get a controller dedicated to my PC. Controller responds great, feels like an Xbox controller, which is what I'm used to. Wireless works perfectly. Because it has Bluetooth and 2.4G Wireless tech, I can switch between my PC and my phone whenever. Battery life is pretty good. Got about 9 hours or so out of the box before it died. Only issue is that there aren't any notifications to let you know the battery is dying. At least to my knowledge. I love how you can use a USB C cord to charge the controller, or you can use the provided dock that also comes with it. Overall great buy and it isn't as expensive as a regular Xbox controller.

it just works and easy to set up. Worry free controller, Plus it come with a dock

I love this gamepad. Works perfectly in windows. What i love the most is the wireless receiver usb plugs in the dockstation and the gamepad will automatic turn off and on when you dock and undock the gamepad from the dockstation. The feel is nice too, i like it better than the xbox elite pro

This controller has been great while using on my pc. The dock is handy to have it go somewhere while not using it and charges it. I do wish thay the triggers were more like the xbox triggers and the sides are straiger then the xbox controller, so ergonomics forsnt feel as good. I do enjoy the hall effect sticks, which is why I didnt get another xbox controller since my last one had stick drift. Id opt in to get an official xbox controller if it has hall effect sticks, but since they don't, this controller has been a nice alternative.

Love this controller. Easy set up and the dock is great.

This is a nice controller overall. The grip takes time to get used to. Also, the fact that it will not connect to my Windows 11 machine without the included dongle is annoying; especially since it lists blue tooth as a supported mode for other platforms. Having to use the dongle is not a deal breaker just less than ideal. Given all of this I still like the controller. The included charging base is nice to have and it connects and disconnects when taking the controller on and off the charger. The buttons, triggers, thumbsticks and d-pad all have a quality feel to them. I cannot speak to the longevity of the build quality but so far so good. The review would be five stars except for the lack of blue tooth support in x-input mode is a real shame. This lack of blue tooth support is poorly communicated on the controllers packaging. Still a quality controller for my computer.

I needed something that fit some really specific circumstances and found just the item. I was looking for a controller that would not only work with an iMac but also be recognized by a few gaming emulators. Thankfully, this worked beautifully. It took a couple of minutes to figure out how to get it all set up but once I did, it worked beautifully.

This is our 3rd 8bitDo controller the oldest is a year and a half old. No stick drift , still has great battery life, no latency. Real sad that 8bitDo is having to leave the American market bc they are the best 3rd party controller company since i started buying 3rd party gear during the snes days.

I bought this controller to replace my Xbox Elite Controller 2 that had bad stick drift. Well, i am glad i bought it because this controller is excellent. The sticks feel tight, the rumble motor is great, and i love the base that is used to charge and act as the wireless receiver if the dongle is plugged to the base, and the base is plugged into your pc. Can not recommend enough!

Its been a great controller for my pc. Its confortable and accurate. Battery last all day. Only con is its a little small for my hands (male) but ive made it work.

This thing is better than all the xbox controllers ive had. The specs are awesome and works great with my gaming pc, rog ally, and switch. I used to use an xbox controller and a playstation controller when they were my only real option for controller to use with my pc and this thing does it all.

I was a bit skeptical of this controller. I talked to a few friends and they talked me into it and by all accounts its a great controller especially for the price. $50 and itll last far longer than any crappy controller from Microsoft.

Excellent controller. It even has a great d-pad, which is rare nowadays even from the greats (e.g., Nintendo Pro Controller horrendous d-pad).

Only controller I trust to use my pc and I can also connect to any other device.comes with paddles which is a plus considering the price compare to other controllers containing paddles
