8Bitdo Ultimate C Wired Controller for Xbox with Hall Effect Joysticks and Triggers, RGB Lighting Fire Ring, Compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10/11- Officially Licensed (Dark Green)

The controller is fantastic. The build quality is very premium. From textured grips to the smooth metallic joysticks, everything screams premium. The materials used are very premium and it just blew me away. You won't find any cheap plastic creaking noises here. Now I come from a Redgear Pro wired controller. They don't even sell those anymore. So, this is a huge upgrade over that. I chose the dark green option, which imo is the best. The dark grey and the orange variants look very cool as well. The D pad is subtly clicky, it's like a mouse click but on a membrane, it feels very good, the D pad doesn't just get subdued when you press, there's a very subtle click which is awesome. It has switches inside the D pad that give it this clicky nature. It feels way better than a membrane D pad The joysticks are hall effect which give very precise movements. They are metallic, so the circular movements when rubbing against the plastic ring feel very smooth. The ABXY buttons feel very good, they're tactile enough and give a good resistance when pressed. The triggers feel excellent. Since this is an Xbox certified controller, it does come with the Impulse Triggers not found in other normal controllers. The triggers are very precise and have the perfect sensitivity. However, you do need to enable Xbox Extended Feature Support Driver in Steam to feel the haptics in the triggers themselves. They have good resistance and if you combine it with the xbox trigger haptics, you have something kinda close to the PS controller. Although most developers don't implement trigger haptics for games on PC. You will feel trigger vibrations in supported games through the Xbox app, and through Steam if you have the driver enabled. Bottoming out of the triggers also feels solid, and is just a good experience overall. Apart from this, the vibration motors are excellent and very finely tuned. I compared both my Redgear controller and the 8bitdo in Shadow of the Tomb Raider while drawing an arrow. Needless to say, the vibrations on the 8bitdo controller while pulling the bowstring felt entirely different and werr very detailed. On the other hand, the vibration of the Redgear controller was very feeble. It's not a difference of intensity, rather a difference in character. The vibration on the 8bitdo was nuanced and had different notes at different stages of pulling the bow, rather than being just a dull constant rumble. The bumper buttons are also clicky, again, a very subdued premium click. Not plastic-y at all. They also have switches. The back of the controller has micro grooves to give your sweaty palms an easier time gripping the controller and the overall fit and finish is excellent. They supply a very long USB C cable, I think around 2.5 meters in length, along with the controller. It's very thick and doesn't tangle at all. Although the USB port on the controller won't accept all USB C cables due to its ovoid shape. With the official cable, you will have to struggle to pull it out every time. My recommendation is to use an off brand USB C cable that has a smaller housing at the connector so that you can pull it out easily and not feel like breaking something everytime you do so. The polling rate is 250 Hz on the wired connection which is the only connection, lol. 250 Hz is absolutely fine, given that the Xbox standard is 125 Hz. The shape of the controller differs a bit from the standard Xbox design. While the Xbox controller is more wide, has a wider V shape, this controller on the other hand is more rectangular. I like both the shapes and one isn't better than the other. However if you place your controller very close to you, I feel like the more boxy design of the 8bitdo is a little bit more comfortable to me. Now let's talk about the RGB fire rings. They have a few different modes, and each of those modes have different colors in them. You can configure the RGB on the controller to follow your joystick movements and trigger presses, have them go round and round, have a solid color, or turn them off completely. You can even adjust 3 levels of brightness of the rings. They look really cool. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

I was expecting a wireless controller, but I got this. Which came with a long usb C to A cable. I thought it was for charging, but it isn’t. Now I have a very long charging cable which I never knew I needed in my life. The controller is amazing. Better than any redgear one I had bought before. This is my third controller and very honestly I have no problem with the wire. The lights on the controller have a really satisfying glow and halo to them. The lights made me realise that the trigger has 10 levels of sensitivity depending on how deep you press it. Never knew of this before. I dropped it once right after taking it out of the box so maybe that’s what has made the right trigger click strangely. Idk how to fix that. Maybe I’ll open it sometime. Overall amazing controller. It’s fully plastic so it can become slippery in sweaty hands.

Great controller. Feels very comfortable in my hands. Worth it for the price.

Build quality is good. Joystick rgb is good. Work good on xbox

good build quality, the lighting is fantastic, but most importantly the triggers and thumbsticks which use hall effect sensors are way better than the potentiometers or encoders usually seen in cheaper products. This really upped my game in WRC7

Good looking, ergonomics are great. Response is good.

It has very good vibration I was finding a premium controller understand 3000 without any extra features because it makes controller feel cheap and it is a minus point that it is wired but if you have to get one thing you have to loose something. I totally recommend if you want a controller with only premiumness and best vibration

Good product. Nice feel premium.
