Pros & Cons

Pros

Lighter than a battery-packed x-box controller, but solid without any noticeable creaking. It's not a huge difference at first, but this being lighter makes it more comfortable to use over time. It has a good weight to it, but not enough to get fatigu...  Read More

Button and d-pad presses are clean and smooth, the triggers have a constant force throughout their travel. The analog triggers are excellent. The joysticks are precise with an absolute minimal dead zone.

Rumble in the controller is refined. It has a lovely holder that matches modern decor. Thankfully, this one is good - but not perfect.

Better than bluetooth. Performance came close to rivaling a wired controller. Wireless range is excellent.

The charging dock is a welcome addition to this product, which helps avoid fumbling around with charging cables. The dock holds the controller snugly and the aforementioned light is quite elegant at showing a charging device.

Quality


The build quality is near identical to an xbox series x controller.


It's quite a bargain considering the quality and price.


It does sometimes not fully connect or wake up first try, having to put it back in the cradle for a second before it will recon...  Read More


I have been using xbox controllers for a while via bluetooth and i can say that i feel the lag with the 2.

Packaging/appearance


Overall i like it, but the battery life and minor design flaws keep it from the top of the pack.


This is customizable in the 8bitdo ultimate software.


And it can be as bit too easy to hit the turbo button when using the dpad enthusiastically, i would idealy have liked it not be...  Read More

Competitiveness


Like all the 8bitdo products i've tried, this controller has a solid feel -- directional sticks that don't feel like they're go...  Read More


Not as refined as "hd rumble" on the switch joy-con controllers, but surprisingly graceful nonetheless.


This software has a hard time determining which 8bitdo device you want updated, so be sure to unplug any other 8bitdo devices b...  Read More


I've only tried this controller on a win10 pc through steam using the 2.

    While i like the idea that the wireless dongle sits in the cradle it makes it not charge if the computer is off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is a nit since it charges quickly and lasts a long time but i wish i could charge it with the pc off while still having the dongle in the cradle


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The star of the show here is the charging dock


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The face buttons are a little small and overly convex though


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The dpad is subpar its way too stiff and doesnt pivot as well as it should


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The paddle buttons on the back are as is often the case too easy to hit by accident so i typically end up just not assigning any function to them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I play a lot of older games and emulators so i probably dont use this controller to its fullest
