8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller for Windows PC, Apple, Steam & Android, Gaming Controller with TMR Joysticks, Hall/Tactile Triggers, Motion Control, RGB Fire Ring, 1000Hz Polling Rate, Black

Absolutely love it! Feels very comfortable to hold and use. The triggers and stick feel very smooth and the buttons are satisfying to press. Love the coaster that came with it and the cool looking card with a code you can use to redeem a prize in the HSR game. As for compatibility, this works well on my PC and Android, it’s as simple as using the 2.4z dongle or using Bluetooth to connect. If you want to use this on the Nintendo Switch 2, you need to update the firmware on the dongle and controller to get the update needed to connect this to that console. After updating the firmware and getting the right update just plug in the dongle to your Switch 2 and it will connect, if there’s trouble connecting even then just look up how to do it, it’s very easy! Overall, great controller for a great prize! Absolutely love it!

I have to admit, 8BitDo really challenges the claim that 3rd party controllers are bad and proves the quality. The Ultimate 2 Wireless is a high quality and diverse controller. Lets go over all the positives: + with the conventional button layout like XBOX + back buttons + 2nd-dary triggers, + Gyro this controller is compatible with a wide variety of modern and retro games + Able to use wired USB-C, bluetooth, or 2.4ghz USB-C adapter (or USB-A purchased separately) this controller will connect to almost any system + A long battery life with a charging dock which doubles as the adapter plug, makes this a very reliable controller, without taking up too much space nor extra USB plugs to charge and connect. Included, no additional cost. + All of this for just the price of a conventional last-gen controller

The build quality is solid. The controller feels just slightly more smaller and narrow to a regular Xbox Controller, but it’s still comfortable to hold. The buttons, triggers, and d-pad feel good in use and are responsive. The connection is great and the charging dock being included is a nice touch for a controller at this price point. Admittedly I think the software is barebones and I don’t like that you can’t assign keyboard macros. I’m sure the extra buttons can be useful, but personally I don’t use them.

I love this thing. 98% of it is impeccable. 8BitDo's naming convention is a little bit confusing, but this particular controller is pretty much JUST for PC, and it is a very solid choice for PC at that. Very smooth sticks, nice membrane buttons, L2 and R2 triggers that can be transformed from analogue triggers to digital clicky buttons, all good stuff. The dpad is different from 8bitdo's earlier revisions, with it being more 'tactile' than rubber membrane. I think the closest similarity to another product might be a PS Vita dpad, where it has an in between rubber dome of most dpads of the past and the clickiness of XBOX controllers. In theory, this should be amazing for precision platformers or Tetris type of games, as you will feel when you press a direction the way you meant to or accidentally press a wrong direction input. Could it feel fatiguing? I can't quite tell, but playing games for over 2 hours at a time would fatigue me anyway. The input latency is insanely good, like you can have the dock connected to the PC and will connect with 2.4ghz to its dock and it feels just about the same as connecting the controller through a wire. You *could* use the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth if you want, but that would be better for Switch/Switch2 as I think it has more latency (according to Gamepadla) which is fine for the Nintendo Consoles and is more in line with how those controllers and consoles work. If your main focus is PC, get this instead for the better input latency. I also appreciate how classy, understated, and not 'aggressively gamer' it looks, compared to other third party controllers. My only complaint is about the R1 and L1 bumpers, but this is more of a taste thing. I would have preferred a rubber membrane button for the bumpers, but if I wanted that then I would use the older model Ultimate C that I have. If you were to get only ONE gamepad for your PC, I can highly vouch for this one.

This truly is a great controller for Windows, and I'm only returning it because the steam controller became available within my return window for this one. I only have small gripes with the 8BitDo, and none of those things would have been a dealbreaker if the steam controller hadn't been available so soon. I'll start with gripes, since those are probably the most important things to consider with a controller that has so many things going for it. First, the extra inputs. Steam does not natively recognize the extra bumpers and back buttons and to my knowledge, the only way to assign them is by making a profile with the companion software. It wasn't as straightforward out of the box and actually deterred me from messing with it. Essentially, they were extra things to press that I would have paid the same money for to do without considering the friction in getting them to work in the first place. If it weren't clear by implication, my second issue was with the software; even then, it's pretty standard and less intrusive than I'm sure a lot of companion softwares tend to be. Really the only part I didn't like is that it seemed to take a lot of effort to create profiles (as far as mapping the extra buttons, for example) compared to how steam input handles it. If you don't care and don't want to buy a steam controller, this can be dismissed as I don't think it's something that truly holds the controller back. Otherwise, the software is convenient for tweaking things like haptics, which some feel are too intense out of the box. On to the good. For the price, this controller is an excellent value. TMR sticks that have incredible longevity and, theoretically, should never experience drift or otherwise malfunction like traditional sticks tend to. The extra inputs, provided you have the patience to configure it, are a big plus. The option to flip the triggers from full throw to short throw is welcome, too. The dock is also a strong selling point. The controller sits perfectly on the dock and connecting it to my PC from charging is completely friction-less; you pick it up and it connects within seconds, provided you're using the 2.4 ghz adapter. I can't speak for how it works when using Bluetooth, but even if it isn't as straightforward, it shouldn't be seen as a deterrent. The controller turns off and starts charging immediately when resting it back on the dock, and I never had trouble lining up the charging pins between the dock and controller. Just fits, no fiddling or second guessing. Performance-wise, I never had any issues with perceivable latency when couch gaming or at my desk. My PC is in a completely different room as the TV with the 2.4ghz adapter being about 40 feet and a wall between the PC and the couch. I tried to use Bluetooth with my nvidia shield but the Bluetooth experience with that device is middling at best. Not the fault of the controller at all. If you can't spring for the price tag on the steam controller and you want something that's multi-platform and doesn't solely rely on steam input to work, this is a great option. I only take the one star away for those few (arguably subjective) points that the steam controller solves for me.

At first, I was worried about the size being too small for my hands, which are not that big (19.5 x 10.5 cm), but I'm really used to a Dualsense (much bigger than the 8BitDo). However, it fits my hands perfectly and I can reach every button with ease. The face buttons, triggers, bumpers and sticks are very responsive, but the microswitches on the triggers have some noticeable pretravel. I only play single player games, so this is not an issue at all for me, but competitive players might not like it. The D-Pad is hands down the best I have tried so far. It's soft, but very tactile at the same time, and accidental diagonal inputs are basically impossible. The controller works perfectly on Linux, but if you want to access more advanced customization and/or update the firmware, you have to first set it up on a Windows or Mac system with 8BitDo's software and save your profiles, which you can then use on Linux with no issues. In addition to everything I said, the build quality feels solid so far, so I highly recommend this controller. On a side note, the Wuchang design looks gorgeous (even though I know nothing about the game)

I love this controller! It was super easy to use and to connect! I got it for the beauty of it alone, but once received it was way better than expected. The packaging was AMAZING to say the least. The unboxing experiment was so worth the price. It came with controller, charging dock, 2.4ghz transmitter (located underneath charging dock), cord, case, temporary tattoos, and the cutest drink coaster ever! It feels like one of the best controllers I've ever held, and it has ZERO lag or drift. So many mapping options with the additional buttons on the controller and the light effects are chef kiss! With an update through the manufacturer website you can use it on your Switch 2! It's not better than a Pro controller for the Switch 2, but if you want something pretty and still functional it will do! I love using this on my Steam deck and my gaming laptop to play games on Steam. Connecting is fast and easy as its XBOX layout goes well with the interface. I love how you can just plug the charging dock up to your computer, and that's the same as using the 2.4 ghz transmitter (no need to remove it from the bottom). If no need for the charging dock, you can take transmitter out and just use that as well for plug and play. I would 100% recommend this controller! For the price it's a steal and you will not regret it! I've used it with so many devices already.

Wow, this controller genuinely surprised me. I switched from the Manba One V2, and honestly, this one is better in every way. The connection is rock solid no drops at all. The software is on another level too; I couldn’t believe how much better and easier it is to use. On top of that, it comes with a 1-year warranty, while the Manba only had 6 months and when mine failed, their support wasn’t helpful at all. Everything about this controller feels right, from the button layout to how easy it is to program. It just works the way you expect it to.

Very comfortable, it has a very nice rumble, and the lights are customizable and can easily be turned off. Mapping the extra buttons is easy, and works well.

I initially bought the Ultimate 2C, and it was very good, but this one Ultimate 2 just feels much more premium, and it is. I'm very satisfied with the purchase, the ergonomics of the controller are excellent 👌.

c'est pas compliqué, c'est la meilleure manette que j'ai pu utiliser de ma vie. résistante, pas de drift au bout de 3 mois. agréable en main, personnalisable, performante, jolie. elle à tout. dock inclus, connexion instantanée, 2.4ghz, gâchettes switchables. aucun défaut.

Really pretty controller and the coaster is stunning! The case is very sturdy as well. If you have the 2C, it is a little heavier but exact same dimensions. Has a good weighty feel imo.

J'ai changé de manette suite à une extinction complète après des années de dure labeur d'une nacon ultimate (200€) et je suis extrêmement content de cette 8bitdo (60€). Manette très réactive, parfaitement compatible avec mon pc qui l'a détecte aussitôt enlevé du socle de charge. Très qualitatives, ergonomique, impression de robustesse ... Sur le plan technique, c'est une des meilleures manette du marché avec un prix explosant toute concurrence (joystick tmr, gâchette hall effect/ lineaire...). Taille de manette unique plus petite qu'une manette élite ou PS5, peut être déplaisant pour certain, elle me convient parfaitement malgré de grandes mains. Les seuls points "négatif" (subjectifs) que je lui ai trouvé sont: - le software qui ne propose pas de personnalisation des paramètres joystick ( courbe d'accélération) -Le software qui ne propose pas de couleur constante, seuls des mods de couleurs variables sont personnalisables Si vous êtes un joueur plus occasionnel sa petite sœur ultimate 2c fait parfaitement l'affaire ,étant pour moi le meilleur rapport qualité-prix existant (il n'y a bien sûr pas les même caractéristiques).
