Fabulous controller, great price.
The controller has a nice, solid feel, a built in rechargeable battery and high quality buttons and Hall effect sticks and triggers, for better accuracy, tighter deadzones and greater durability. Colours look sharp, the 2.4 ghz receiver offers 1000Hz polling for near latency free wireless control, and if that's still not good enough, you can connect via the included usb type A-C cable. and for other devices, the included bluetooth makes it incredibly versatile. Only small complaint, and it's not really 8bitdo's fault - Is that the controller doesn't support Xbox. It's still an incredible controller for the cost, but if it had that, it would be absolutely unassailable on all fronts.

Cheap AND Extremely high quality
Yessssss this is the one. Better than Xbox, better than PS5, better than controllers that cost 3 or 4 times as much. Yeah it’s super cheap, but don’t let that put you off. The quality is totally there. Just buy it and try it out for yourself, it’s so cheap you could buy two and still save money over an Xbox controller. Comes with 2.4GHz USB dongle or you can connect using Bluetooth, or using USB. Has an internal battery that lasts for weeks and weeks, charges on USB C. Has decent rumble, really decent D-Pad, sticks are amazing, buttons are amazing, design is comfortable to hold and ergonomic. Literally nothing bad to say about it.

Great for 5 year old
Easy to connect and feels quality. Daughter loves the purple design. She’s used it for fifa 26, it takes two and unraveled. Doesn’t seem to be any lag using the dongle and connects really easily to our pc.

Best 8BitDo Controller Yet, Smooth Sticks and Great Build
Wow, what a controller. As someone who owned the original Ultimate, this is a gigantic step up in every way. For just £25, the build quality feels amazingly solid, grippy, and extremely durable. The buttons are clicky and responsive, and both 2.4G and Bluetooth connections have almost no delay, which is incredible. The triggers could use a little more resistance, but they still feel great, and the back button placement on the front is a smart choice, out of the way so you won’t press it by accident, but easy to reach. The D-pad isn’t perfect, a little clicky for my taste, but more than usable. The sticks, though, are the real highlight. Unlike many controllers where the stick rim scrapes and feels rough, these feel incredibly smooth, perfectly resistant, and very comfortable. Grip on the sticks is fantastic as well. Battery life is excellent, and honestly, for the price, this controller feels unmatched. It’s comfortable, responsive, and built to last. I can’t recommend it enough. 9.5/10.

You won't regret it :)
Better than an Xbox controller, but has a little drift (you can fix it with 2 buttons on the controller though) and it re aligns itself! Love the colour, and honestly it has a better feeling than an Xbox controller. I use it for phone and pc gaming, and I'm honestly in love with it - would buy it again!

Amazing value
Considering these are normally around or under £25, its amazing that the build quality feels at least on par with all other major players for first party controllers. Hall effect sticks should mean great longevity too, which is rare. My only complaints would be the short travel on the (analogue) triggers and rather small sizes of the control sticks, but these are minor gripes and mostly down to your preference.

Fast and accurate controller.
Got this controller to go with my Steam Deck living room setup - the 2.4ghz adapter is fully compatible and works out of the box. I've been having issues with Bluetooth signal strength and latency recently so decided to get a controller with 2.4ghz support, the difference is night and day in responsiveness. The sticks are hall effect so you're able to turn the deadzones all the way down for maximum responsiveness. The buttons and triggers feel pretty standard which is a good thing, no cheap hori style wobbly buttons and short throw triggers here. The only downside to this controller is no gyro - bummer for certain types of games (Looking at you Quantic Dream) but for 90% of games this is no issue since standard Xbox controllers also lack gyro support. Colour is nice, but maybe more options would be appreciated, I'd like a white one to match my desk setup.

Uncomfortable for small hands and keeps disconnecting
Uncomfortable for small hands and keeps disconnecting. The size of the controller is fine - no complaints there, however 8Bitdo have decided to sharply angle the controller inwards (compare it to a Switch Pro Controller or Xbox Series controller), this wreaked havoc on my small hands and caused my wrist to ache within 10-15 minutes due to having to twist my wrists inwards. A total ergonomic failure of a controller. On top of the that, the controller has the worst 2.4Ghz connection of any controller I have ever tried in my life, it keeps dropping every 5-10 minutes randomly.

esperienza simile al controller xbox originale
da possessore sia di questo controller, sia del controller ufficiale xbox, posso dire che l'esperienza è molto simile, prezzo molto competitivo quello di 8bitdo, consiglio l'acquisto

The best controller available for PC
I'm extremely satisfied with the ones I got; they feel very high quality, yet they aren't heavy or bulky. Perfect for small to medium sized hands and they will feel familiar to anyone who used an Xbox controller before. Connectivity is simple using both the included dongle or Bluetooth, the battery lasts for an incredibly long time, and they charge fast and using USB-C. The thumb sticks are extremely precise and have basically no deadzone and no drift. The triggers have a shorter throw than I would prefer but they feel very nice as well. The rest of the buttons have a very snappy and satisfying feeling. I can't evaluate the d-pad as I don't play many games that are heavily focused on it. The vibration motors are also very tight feeling and strong. As for negatives, I don't have much to say, and especially not any that would offset the positives. That's not even considering the aggressive pricing compared to other controllers. I'm very satisfied and already pondering buying yet a few more. If I had to point out something negative it would be how poorly communicated the extra features are. There's basically no documentation included either in the box or on the website itself. In fact, a few features from older models (like 0 deadzone setting) are present but you wouldn't know unless you actually looked online for how to activate them. The software could be more comprehensive.

Best Budget Wireless Controller Comfortable, Responsive & Reliable
I’ve been using this controller for a few days now and honestly, I’m really impressed. It feels much better than I expected at this price. The first thing I noticed was the comfort. It sits really nicely in the hands and even after long gaming sessions, it doesn’t feel tiring. The buttons are soft and responsive, and the sticks are very smooth. The Hall Effect sticks are a big plus—no drift issues and very accurate movement. Connection is quick and stable. I used it on Android and PC, and it worked perfectly without any hassle. There’s almost no input lag, so games feel very responsive. The extra buttons are also a nice touch. Didn’t expect them to be this useful, but they actually help once you get used to them. Battery life is good enough for long sessions, and overall the controller feels solid and well-built. Honestly, for this price, it’s totally worth it. If you’re looking for a reliable wireless controller with smooth performance, you can go for it without thinking twice.

BEST UNIVERSAL CONTROLLER !!!
tldr; AMAZING! great quality and 0 lag! Below is an in depth review! Amazing! The pairing is extremely easy and compatible with everything I use consistently! There are two pairing modes, the provided 2.4G USB and bluetooth. It is compatible with Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, & PC and regarding inputs there is little to no lag. The controllers battery is really good and I don't have to constantly charge it just to have a good gaming experience. The texture of the controller is very sleek and comfortable to hold, it doesn't absorb sweat or get dirty easily in general which is great for all the gamers out there who snack while gaming! The provided cord isn' long enough for most charging however the battery makes up for it, the charging port is a USB C port which means that you can easily swap out the provided cord with a much longer USB C cord! The controller has additional trigger buttons that are mappable which is very useful! Overall, highly recommend this controller! I am obsessed with it!!
