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 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.

It's an absolutely brilliant controller - extremely responsive, comfortable and well thought out in terms of having the dock to charge it and connect with your PC. Great for PC and steam use, also works lovely for consoles. It's a top top product all around. Top marks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tested the controller by doing a pretty hard monster hunter (videogame) challenge and found these points:Positives:Easy to use.Easy to set up.Nice design.fairly Ergonomic.Decent quality.Responsive.Good price.Easy to charge.Didn't affect my internet like another review said.Negatives:A little small (even for me and I have baby hands)the directional button/s move around a little more than I would like (this doesn't affect use)Due to size I keep accidentally hitting the back buttons.Cannot program buttons freely (I wanted to make a back button pause PC media)

So far I will say this is probably the best controller I have ever bought, the feel is great especially compared to the ps5 and xbox , I have had it a while now and I think my ps5 one started to drift around now ish which has really put me off buying official accessories, I feel they are made cheaply and you are over charged just for the name, actually I think the version of this controller with an xbox emblem was over £10 more to buy, and I personally did not give a flying **** about having that 😂 anyways I do recommend this if you need a new controller.Also just to point out I'm using mine for a steamdeck at the moment. I'm using a cheaper turtle beach wired controller for my xbox which I use mostly for Internet search,youtube etc if I do go back to the xbox for gaming I think I will pick up another of these controllers 👍

For the controller itself 5 stars, absolutely loved it. What you get for the price is incredible. However whenever I used it wirelessly my WiFi speed would die in the vicinity. It's flooding the 2.4GHz band across all WiFi channels and I don't have the option of switching to 5GHz. Wired it was fine.Now of course I may have had a faulty unit but it otherwise worked flawlessly so I'm not sure, I didn't bother with a replacement. I have to say I can't fault their support, they sent me unreleased firmware to try out but it did not fix the problem unfortunately.
