8Bitdo Ultimate 2.4G Wireless Controller, Hall Effect Joystick Update, Gaming Controller with Charging Dock for PC, Android, Steam Deck & Apple (Black)

Love this. Looks great on the dock on my desk, is always charged as a result. Connecting was a bit finicky but once set up is just grab and go. Feels great in the hands and the buttons are crisp. Joysticks are perfect, no stick drift even several hundred hours in. Just a neat, well priced controller in a sea of mediocrity!

This controller is truly exceptional and offers a fantastic gaming experience. The design is ergonomic, making it comfortable to hold for extended periods, which is perfect for long gaming sessions. The charging stand is a thoughtful and convenient addition, ensuring that your controller is always ready to go without the hassle of constantly swapping out batteries or dealing with tangled cables. The vibration feedback on this controller is absolutely brilliant, providing an immersive and realistic gaming experience that enhances every moment of gameplay. Whether you’re navigating through intense action scenes or exploring vast virtual worlds, the vibrations add a layer of depth and excitement that truly brings the game to life. Overall, this controller is a must-have for any gaming enthusiast looking to elevate their gaming setup.

Great controller - feels great and the extra paddles make it easier to play games that have more functions than buttons like Path of Exile 2. The range is decent too so I am not tied to my desk and can play on the big screen from the sofa a decent distance away. The software allows you to programme up to 3 profiles so you can have custom settings for different games. This could be settings for a particular genre or for a specific game and you can switch between these profiles at the touch of a button on the controller as well as no profile which will remove all customisation. The joysticks are accurate. The buttons are responsive and just the right amount of click/spring to it, so it's not mushy but not cheap feeling like 8Bitdo Ultimate 2C Wired version. Input latency is better than an official Xbox controllers. It has a few downsides though. Firstly the backpaddles (or any of the buttons) can only be remapped to other buttons on the controller or macros/combos of those buttons. No way to have them recognised as additional buttons or map them to keyboard keys like on a steam deck. This means you do not gain any additional buttons only a quick access to a button combo like R2 + B. The main issue though is durability. The triggers will eventually start to fail. Mine lasted about 9 months of moderate use. The sharp plastic trigger eventually cuts through the membrane resulting in it not registering a full press. My right trigger cannot go above 57% pressed. With the software I can limit the range so that games see this as 100% but the trigger with reduced range does not feel as good and I expect will eventually fail completely. To be fair most xbox controllers have stick drift in about the same time which this does not. With so many models it can be confusing about which one is compatible with what. This version works with Windows PC both cabled and wireless via the 2.4ghz dongle/dock. It also connects with android phones and tablets with games that make use of controllers. It does NOT however, work with Android TV either wirelessly or cabled. Xbox and PS5 controllers do so maybe their xbox compatible controller will work. Due to the durability I cannot give it 5 stars but it was very good while it lasted.

This is a really good controller. The sticks are accurate, the D-pad is good (if not on the same level as the sticks), the face buttons are positive. The shoulder buttons are good for what they are, although I've never cared for shoulder buttons myself - they're not good for fighting games. There are two remappable buttons on the underside of the controller, which address the issues I have with shoulder buttons. The overall quality is approaching that of the - much more expensive - Dualsense controllers, although obviously the 8BitDo Ultimate doesn't have a gyro, or a touch pad. The charging stand is great. The controller slides in with a satisfying click, and a white LED downlight turns on. When charging is finished, the light turns off. Battery life is good - I haven't run out of charge over extended RetroArch sessions. There is also a Type C port on the controller which can be used for charging, to play over a wired connection ot to connect the controller to the mapping software. Connecting the controller to a PC is simple - Dualsense controllers need Bluetooth for a wireless connection to a PC, and this brings with it issues, especially on Linux, which this controller is used on. The 2.4G wireless connection is seamless in contrast. In terms of negatives, while the controller works out the box, you do need an app to remap it and set the underside buttons. If you want to do this on a computer, it means you need Windows, as there is no Linux or MacOS version of the software. I haven't used the Android app. Overall, this is a very good controller that I have no issues recommending.

Good build quality and having hall effect joysticks for the price is awesome!

Perché non gli manca davvero nulla. Innanzitutto è comodo: layout Xbox con dei grilletti simil-playstation 4. Rimpiango un po' i grilletti della 360 ma forse solo per abitudine, e comunque nessuno ne fa di simili. La comodità prosegue con il wireless: è possibile attaccare il dongle wireless all'hub di ricarica così che sul PC avrete un solo slot USB occupato comunque decidiate di usarlo; non capisco poi perché sulla pagina dell'articolo non si menzioni da nessuna parte il bluetooth, che funziona alla perfezione passando a Xinput con l'interruttore dietro al controller. Pensavo di fare un "sacrificio" dovendo scegliere tra layout Xbox senza bt o layout Nintendo con bt, e invece sono rimasto sorpreso! Il prezzo è adeguato, e non mi sento di stare comprando un "marchio" come comprando un controller Xbox in circolazione da 10 anni ma che in qualche modo costa come al lancio. Il controller 8BitDo ha un dpad adeguato (rocker ma assolutamente preciso), levette analogiche hall che urlano robustezza, due tasti programmabili dietro, i profili, la vibrazione è corposa e mai fastidiosa, la connessione immediata, la batteria lunga (credo, non mi è mai capitato di dover fermare un gioco perché mi fosse morto il controller!)... Di controller ne ho usati e non ricordo di essere stato mai così soddisfatto

Tendre como un año con el, funciona muy bien tanto en pc como en android. Buena compra

Un très bon pad. Pour moi il remplace avantageusement le pad X box. Ca ne se joue pas à grand chose mais je préfère la prise en main, les boutons au dos et le socle de chargement. Après plusieurs mois d'utilisation le pad n'a pas bougé et fonctionne toujours aussi bien.

Der 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4G Wireless Controller ist ein absoluter Top-Controller, der in nahezu allen Bereichen überzeugt. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die Hall-Effect-Joysticks, die durch ihre Präzision und Langlebigkeit beeindrucken – ein klarer Kaufgrund für alle, die Qualität schätzen. -Hall-Effect-Joysticks: Kein Drift, präzise Steuerung und eine beeindruckende Haltbarkeit. Perfekt für intensives und langfristiges Gaming. -Hochwertige Verarbeitung: Der Controller fühlt sich robust an und liegt sehr angenehm in der Hand. Geringes Gewicht: Ideal für lange Gaming-Sessions, ohne die Hände zu ermüden. -Kompatibilität: Besonders empfehlenswert für das Steam Deck und den PC, wo er eine nahtlose und stabile Verbindung bietet. -Dockingstation: Die mitgelieferte Ladestation ist ein weiteres Highlight – praktisch, elegant und sorgt dafür, dass der Controller immer einsatzbereit ist.

This controller is amazing, and probably the best I have ever used. Universal & connects to computers & Xbox & mobile devices.
