Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

If you want the ultimate pc/emulation controller and like me prefer an xbox layout this is your controller. The build quality is top notch, it has the same heft as a ps4 controller which is perfect. Wanna be a better gamer?

The controller has a software to download where its firmware can be updated and * customized. However, it is easy to complete with said software. Download the 8bitdo app on your phone and connect the controller with bluetooth, choose your * to be mapp... Read More

I prefer controllers with heftier grips to them. The grip on the handles is tactile, without feeling overly rough. The controller is ergonomic and fits comfortably in your hands.

The charging dock is of similar premium quality as the controller and it's seat location is seamless as it cradles the controller in the correct spot with zero effort. Included is a charger base with type c plug and cable. The stand also acts as the u... Read More

The joysticks are amazing and easily allow you to use zero dead zone with no stick drift issues at all. The triggers are as smooth as any i have ever used, comparable to an xbox elite controller in all seriousness. I'm glad to see companies get on thi... Read More

Cons

Any time i turn the controller on it struggles to connect, never connects, or says it is connected but isn't. No help on * website.

Quality

The best build quality of any controller i have used and i've used almost all of them.

Is a great controller, works really well on switch, the macro part takes a bit to understand but so useful

Battery life is a nonissue because you just place it into the dock whenever you’re not using it.

First time i bought this i had to return because the shoulder buttons felt mushy and got stuck probably due to first release is... Read More

Price

I've been burning through 70$ xbox controllers for years now and finally decided to try this and it's great, good response time... Read More

All 3rd party ps5 controllers are $100+ and are missing the light bar.

I got mine on sale, but at a base price of $60, it's pretty reasonable.

If the features sound appealing to you at all, this thing will be worth the price for sure

Shipping

I received this controller a day ago - it took some googling but i was able to get the paddles working with my steam deck.

Packaging/appearance

Either it's already getting smashed in a very tiny bit or i'm tripping and they come that way, i can't remember.

Competitiveness

The triggers are as smooth as any i have ever used, comparable to an xbox elite controller in all seriousness.

You can connect it to a few different things besides your nintendo switch systems.

The software does not work with linux (steam deck) even in comparability mode.

Unfortunately, they don't offer the hall effect model ("ultimate") with xbox buttons, so it's the only way to get it right if y... Read More
