Pros & Cons
Pros
Griping aside, the software makes it that much better. The ultimate software works great to customize the controller. Download the 8bitdo app on your phone and connect the controller with bluetooth, choose your * to be mapped and sync the controller.
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. The charging station looks nice on m... Read More
The best 3rd party controllers on pc and consoles with which they are compatible. Cross compatibility with xbox, playstation, nintendo, and pc and even bluetooth is perfect. If you want the ultimate pc/emulation controller and like me prefer an xbox l... Read More
They feel fantastic, are responsive, and have adjustable deadzones. While controller fit is subjective, i'm extremely pleased with these. G is terrific on paper but has interesting performances.
The build quality is top notch, it has the same heft as a ps4 controller which is perfect. The only thing keeping it from a 5 for me is the lack of hd rumble.
Cons
Any time i turn the controller on it struggles to connect, never connects, or says it is connected but isn't. This controller was very lightly used.
Highlights
Quality
I really like this controller, it has a great feel , solid build , multiple inputs, easy to use remap software.
Feels great in hand , solid build with multiple inputs (including m1 and m2 in the back of the controller).
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
This is absolutely worth the premium price.
In the end, not a bad controller at all for the price.
It's definitely a pricey controller, but you get what you pay for here.
Given what you're getting i can't complain about the price, especially if you catch a sale.
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
Note: it comes well packaged with a dock and came with extra thumb caps, the value of the controller is actually more than what... Read More
Either it's already getting smashed in a very tiny bit or i'm tripping and they come that way, i can't remember.
It looks impeccably sleek but i personally find the boxy shape design to be lacking in ergonomic finesse.
Competitiveness
The triggers are as smooth as any i have ever used, comparable to an xbox elite controller in all seriousness.
I think this controller is amazing, the quality feels better than a ps5 controller when i compared the two and the joysticks an... Read More
The software does not work with linux (steam deck) even in comparability mode.
In fact, it's better than the nintendo brand one at the same price.

Half the buttons are white and the other half are black it would look better if it was all white to match the white shell
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Personally they are a gamechanger for me either 2 or 4 extra buttons in the rear is what i always need in a controller
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The button layout doesnt mirror the traditional switch pro controllers so it may take a little time to adjust to the location i have fumbled a few times but getting used to it
