The quality of the build is equivalent or better than nintendo. The quirk is that it sometimes has an issue connecting at startup, but once that hiccup is cleared its been flawless

The 8bitdo ultimate controller with 2.4ghz wireless is all around an amazing controller. It is advertised for the nintendo switch so it has their button layout. It can definitely be used for other consoles and PC, but it definitely a better overall controller than even the first party pro controller.
Definitely worth a purchase.

I looked for different controllers for pc and switch. I tried the switch pro controller, the gulikit king kong pro 2, and more. I was severely disappointed with all of them. This is the first controller ive used in a while that is actually good.

Almost perfect. The Hall effect sticks are very precise and have not, nor should ever, drift. The d-pad works well and the back buttons are useful, but you can only assign them to work like the normal buttons; no keyboard inputs can be mapped to them.

Excellent controller; 8bitdo makes great accessories and this controller is one of the best. Love the flexibility for connectivity to different devices and ease of charging with the dock. Have only tried switch games so far, but feels better than the Nintendo pro controller and similar xbox style controllers.

High quality controller with halls effects sticks. Drift shouldn’t be an issue. Overall controller feels good in the hand and is similar in shape to a standard switch pro controller. Decent vibration and gyro seems fine. Main controller I use with my switch now, for nearly everything except when playing undocked or Switch Sports.
Comes with a charging dock and 2.5ghz dongle that is easily stored in said dock. Great value, quality and brand through and through.

This controller has a great feel and is extremely responsive. The only issue I can find is the fact that you cannot utilize controller profiles while connected via bluetooth to windows. In order to use this you must plug in the 2.4 dongle which takes up a USB port on my laptop.

Great controller works well on both my PC and Nintendo switch. Love that I don't have to remove the 2.4Hz dongle from the base, you can leave it in and plug the charge base straight into the PC and you can use the controller on the 2.4 mode easily. Love this feature and this product. Would recommend to anyone.

At the time of writing this review it's been almost a year since purchasing this, and the 8BitDo Ultimate controller is still working flawlessly (with daily use) 10/10 product. Comfortable, reliable, and never had any issues with it. Very satisfied customer.

This is by far my favorite switch controller. The joy sticks are fantastic and better than my pro controller. I do miss the NFC for amiibo but everything else is so much better that i dont mind needing to switch controllers for a bit to scan amiibo. I love the switch to change between bluetooth and 2.4 ghz, I use it to jump between my switches without needing to pair it each time.
I would recommend this to a friend

It is an really good wireless controller if you are looking for a controller to plug and play without any issues

Best controller i've owned. The charging dock/stand really sets it apart from other controllers. The extra trigger buttons are a nice tough. It may as well be an Xbox elite controller for a much less price tag.

PC Gamer here… In the last several months, I have bought and played on: 3 x Xbox Elite Series 2, 1 x Scuff Envision Pro, 2 xScuff Instinct Pro… None compare to thr 8BitDo in ergonomics, ease of use and especially ergonomics. The “Hall Effect” sticks are as good as advetised and so far drift free… the only thing I’d like to see added to this controller is adjustable hair triggers, but with the software dead zone adjustment, I honestly don’t mind them the way they are. A++++++

Great controller for switch and PC gaming. The switch on the back lets you switch from using the USB dongle to Bluetooth connection. Grip is very comfortable as well.
