8BITDO Ultimate 2C Wired Controller - Mint

This controller is a steal at its retail price, especially so if on sale. I bought this controller for ~$20 and it's fantastic for PC gaming. I've played tons of games with it, from retro games to reaction heavy games like Dark Souls and I love this controller. The sticks feel great, requiring just the right amount of force as well as the texture of the sticks fitting my thumbs perfectly. The buttons looks and feel great, requiring relatively low force to push down. I've never had an issue with response timing nor does it double press any buttons. The feel of the controller in my hand is great. I have relatively big hands and it feels great with no hand fatigue like some controllers have. The provided USB cable feels just as quality as the controller too. For the price, if you don't mind a wired controller over wireless, this controller is absolutely killer. I highly highly recommend it.

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from such an affordable piece of tech - the last controller I purchased in this price range about 8 years ago was complete trash - but this in many ways actually feels better than the XBOX series controller I’ve been sharing between my console and gaming system until now. Great build quality and hand feel. Plus I love the color options. I always prefer wired connections since they are more reliable and don’t have to bother with bluetooth pairing or battery swaps mid game. I play a lot of Diablo 2 Resurrected and that game doesn’t pause when your controller drops off for any reason! This works perfectly plug and play on my Bazzite Linux system in every game I’ve tried on Steam and Battle.net.

Feels very nice. I have not had it for long so I don't know how it performs long term but because of the price tag I honestly don't care if something goes wrong after a year or two of use. When that happens with my premium priced elite controller we have an issue. That is why I sought out something cheaper but still of good quality after my last controller broke down. I'm very happy with it. The buttons and sticks feel good. Its size is not quite as big as a standard Xbox controller, or at least the elite one but I personally like that. In terms of input latency, well it opened my eyes to the fact that the controller I had been using actually had issues with input latency, so its good in that department. The cord it comes with is good quality. The D-Pad. I consider the d-pad an important part of the controller. I play a fair bit of platformers and some 2d fighters (yes I prefer the d-pad to the sticks) so I like a nice D-Pad. This one is amazing actually. Far better than a standard Xbox or PlayStation controller, but not nearly as good as the elites circular d-pad (no one seems to have a fair priced controller with a similar d-pad). I bought another model from this company because i heard the dpad was good but its really not. This one is, so if you are concerned about that its a solid, clicky, and fairly accurate dpad. This model in particular also looks very nice. I haven't played wukong but I liked the way this one looked and it was on a slight sale I think.

The unbeatable gold standard for budget PC controllers. Build quality feels great, the L4/R4 configuration is my favorite of any layout so far, and the color selection is so much more appealing and tasteful than most gamepad selections. Buttons and triggers (including the d pad) are robust and responsive and the sticks are precise and long lasting. The included cables are super high quality and look great as well. At this price point there’s nothing that even comes close, you can spring for the Bluetooth version for a few bucks more and still nothing touches 8bitdo in terms of bang for your buck. I’ve had 2 of this controller line for Switch and 3 for PC, and all 5 of them are still in working order and still in my rotation for regular use for Switch and Steam Deck and desktop PC. I’ve given several people these or the Bluetooth version for Christmas or birthday gifts and I always hear about how much they love it.

All my xbox controllers have died on me so i was in need of a new controller. I seen this posted in a server and decided to pick it up. i was suipriesd with the quality of it. it works great and feels nice. although i will say Ive accidentally pressed the star button on accident and activated the auto mode. i have no issues connecting it with steam and works with every game so far overall happy with this controller!

This controller is an absolute gem! The lilac purple finish is gorgeous and unique — it adds a pop of color to my setup without feeling childish. The design is sleek, lightweight, and very comfortable to hold, even during long gaming sessions. The buttons and joysticks feel precise and responsive, with no input lag. The triggers have a nice resistance, and the D-pad is excellent for retro-style games. It really feels like a high-quality controller at a very reasonable price point. I’ve tested it across devices — Windows PC, Steam Deck, and Android — and it works seamlessly. Plug-and-play is effortless, and the compatibility makes it versatile enough to be my go-to for nearly everything. The wired connection is rock-solid with no dropouts, and the cable length is generous enough for couch gaming. Plus, it’s great not having to worry about batteries or charging. Overall, the 8Bitdo Ultimate C Wired Controller is stylish, reliable, and incredibly comfortable. Whether you’re gaming on PC, handheld, or emulators, this controller delivers smooth performance and a premium feel. Highly recommended!

Great low-cost controller option for PC. With hall effect sticks that won't drift, and responsive feeling buttons. The best wired controller that I've used.

It's hard to rate controllers considering it takes some usage before noticing things like bad buttons or sticks. I've owned several MS XBOX-controllers and a couple of PDP that had the same issues with buttons losing function or sticks that started to "stick" or drift. But so far this controller feels much more solid and reliable.

Il controller che arriva a casa è esattamente quello mostrato in foto. Nessuna brutta sorpresa per quanto riguarda estetica e qualità costruttiva: sono molto sorpreso, in positivo, del rapporto qualità/prezzo Ho provato qualche gioco e sono più che soddisfatto dalle prestazioni e dal comfort. Il controller è anche molto leggero ma senza dare l'impressione di fragilità e risparmio. Faccio presente che uso un sistema operativo Linux e pur non essendo ufficialmente supportato da questo Ultimate 2C sono riuscito ad usarlo senza il minimo problema: collegato e riconosciuto alla prima. Vista la varietà del mondo Linux però non posso garantire che sarà così indolore per tutti, comunque sappiate che si può fare. Se proprio devo trovare un difetto (ma proprio se devo) segnalo la vibrazione un po' troppo rumorosa. In definitiva per un prezzo che non raggiunge la soglia psicologica dei 20€ lo consiglio senza riserve.

Habe dem Controller jetzt schon Seit über nem halben Jahr und er funktioniert super. Die extra Knöpfe funktionieren problemlos und für den Preis ist dieser Controller eine perfekte Alternative für Leute die sich einen Xbox One Controller nicht leisten können. So lange einem das Kabel nicht stört. Und die Sticks sind die besten die ich je bei einem Controller verwendet habe. Die Schultertasten lassen sich flüssig reindrücken und die Knöpfe sind schnell und sind praktisch ein Mix das Dem Switch Pro und Xbox One Controller. Im Allgemeinem füllt sich der Controller wie eine Misschung aus den beiden Controllern an der das beste von beiden Welten vereint hat.
