Pros

The build quality of this controller is top-notch. The black finish is sleek, and the overall design is modern, making it look as good as it performs.

The feel of this controller is good and it has some heft to it. It feels good in the hand, just the righ weight. The grips on this controller do not flare out like they do on the regular xbox controller. Ergonomics are perfect for my hands and i have ... Read More

The 8bitdo ultimate is hands down my favorite controller i've ever had the pleasure of using! This controller is way better than the offical one from microsoft. Although not dissimilar to other first party offerings, this has a distinct slightly more ... Read More

Great controller for pc gaming. Works well on my android phone playing fps games and emulators. The cable is probably a bit short for playing in the living room on xbox but it really depends on where your console is vs where you're seated.

The hall effect joysticks and hall triggers are a game changer. The precision and responsiveness they offer are unparalleled, especially in fast-paced action games. Easy to program and the joysticks offer just the right amount of resistance for accura... Read More

Cons

Bluetooth mode and pc mode still work but both controllers refuse to connect to xbox and just flash the xbox button repeatedly. In addition to the lack of wireless functionality with the platform it was licensed on, the wired connection intermittently... Read More

Don't get this controller; not worth the hassle. The marketing for it is quite misleading. Such a shame as for the nintendo switch works nicely.

The * are usable, but don't feel good to use. I wonder if the vibration motors are overheating or something. I have no idea if this is part of the design and isn't meant to be truly simulating the xbox's trigger vibration.

To compare the two controllers, this 8bitdo ultimate 3-mode controller has a much better d-pad and shoulder buttons, and it has... Read More

Thankfully, 8bitdo has a more affordable solution that beats standard xbox controllers.

The bluetooth option on the controller does not work with the xbox, even with the mayflash (which has bluetooth).

It also has rumble motors in the triggers similar to the xbox one and xbox series controllers.
