Pros & Cons
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.

It feels solid and durable, with a comfortable grip that doesn’t cause fatigue even during extended gaming sessions.
It’s well made and a nice controller.
Up front, i really liked this controller but unfortunately the left analog stick completely broke after only a few hours of use.
My hands got cramped after using this controller for only a short time, and i found myself constantly accidently pressing the p... Read More
Price
Let me start out by saying this is an amazing controller for the price, for most people.
+battery life is spectacularit's great for the price and you can use it in multiple platforms.
If you want a budget controller that is genuinely good this is it.
I do wish it was wireless with xbox as well but i got what i paid for and understood what i was buying before i purchased the c... Read More

Update: after going back and forth with 8bitdo for a while they agreed to send me a replacement under warranty *if* i mailed th... Read More
Competitiveness
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.

Maybe some analog grip covers will help
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I’d prefer a shape closer to microsoft’s xbox controller but if i had to choose between the joysticks and the shape i’m still going to pick the hall effect joysticks any day
