Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Charging base is handy to have, doubles as an extra usb slot which is where the non-bluetooth adapter resides -- very cleverly designed. Plugging in the device to the pc sets it to xinput -- xbox mode. The dock is perfect and fits the controller nicel...  Read More

The 8bitdo ultimate controller is the culmination of everything that's helped put the company on the map as a third-party controller manufacturer. I am genuinely impressed with the quality, finish and mechanical functionality of this controller. It wo...  Read More

Great controller. This controller is fantastic! Highly, highly recommend. Awesome product.



Cons

Controller appears to have some functional issues which might explain why it was returned. Don't expect wide compatibility with the 2.

Snap back of control sticks causes unintentional inputs. I flick the stick right to dash right, when the stick snaps back to the center it causes me to accidentally dash left sometimes. Button layout being a nintendo layout is really just awkward.

Price


I invested an extra $5 in some more tactile thumbstick covers, which is an easy fix.


Instead of paying their monthly fee dump the money in a savings account.


If pc is your intent though and you won't play on switch ever, you can save $10 by getting the 2.


I would probably pay more for something that either works as you want out of the box or has readily found support information.

Shipping


Arrived really quickly and is the perfect third controller for us to use for game nights!


Odds are you’ll be able to buy a new product that’s updated, and you will receive it in a couple of days instead of weeks later.

Packaging/appearance


The box came damaged but the product is good.

Competitiveness


Personally felt better in the hands than the other off brand controller currently using.


The same company makes a dongle that i tried to use for a similar purpose.


I even bought the buttons from 8bitdo in order to convert it to xbox layout abxy.


By the time i switched to this controller though i was no longer raiding, so that limitation didn't end up being a deal breaker...  Read More
