Hall Effect Joysticks
Customers have generally positive feedback regarding the Hall Effect Joysticks of the controller, mentioning that they are smooth and do not drift like some other brands. Some users also appreciate the rumble vibration feature. However, a few customers mentioned that the controller needs to be close to the receiver when initially taken off the dock for pairing up but once paired, it works fine.
Trigger Sensitivity
Customers generally enjoy the high-quality feel and responsiveness of the controller's buttons and triggers, with some expressing satisfaction with the customizable options available through the Ultimate Software. However, a significant number of users have reported issues with trigger sensitivity and calibration, causing frustration and limiting their experience.
Highlights
Quality
Is of sturdy material and seems like it will last :)!
The grip is comfortable, buttons feel high quality, triggers are so satisfying to use.
Updating causes the controller to shut off/on intermittently while playing a game making it unusable.
There's a nice grippy texture on the grips and the sticks feel nice and stiff.
Price
I also have the option of wired or wireless connection at a great price.
99 which was a great deal for such high quality.
I got this controller on sale for $49.
Price/value and function for what you get could not be better.
Packaging/appearance
Came with the charger stand so that was a bonus!
Competitiveness
This pc controller works on computer and steam deck dock similar to xbox controller.
Even when using the "wireless" option on my new 8bitdo it's faster than my wired logitech.
I've gone through 3 official xbox controllers over the past few years and none of them have compared to the quality of 8bitdo's.
Responsiveness is "night and day" compared to my logitech.
