Pros & Cons
Pros
The 8bitdo holds two they are both the least expensive and the highest quality. The controller is a bit lighter weight. Cannot recommend enough and very fairly priced.
Plastics feels premium with a textured back. The texture on the grips form it in your hands. It also has gyro (motion) controls and all the * are easy to navigate.
The 8bitdo ultimate c controller has a d-pad that works as good as nintendo's official pro controller. It connects to raspberry pi 4 for gaming as a bluetooth game controller. Feels like an xbox controller and that's what i'm used to the most.
Cons
The usb c cable fused with the controller. It stops responding while connected by bluetooth on my laptop (running intel processor btw) when i plug the usb cable into the controller (after removing the bluetooth connection on both the controller and th... Read More
Highlights
Quality
I have had many 8bitdo controllers and this is one is like the rest, very solid and is great when it is working.
The analog sticks are firm, the buttons are great, and it keeps its charge for a long, long time.
Any old school 2-d platformer or fighting game fan will tell you how important it is to press left and not also go up or down.
This controller can actually wake the system by powering on the controller and giving it a shake!
Price
Absolutely a bargain at this price point.
This controller is an absolute steal for the price
This is the glaring flaw in the official and too expensive pro controller.
Heavily recommended if on budget or not.
Competitiveness
Compared to the broader market for switch controllers, simply having nothing wrong with it sets it well above most of the competition.
D-pad is squishy and better than the xbox core controller.
It's better than nintendo's own controller and it's half the price.
Not only is the d-pad more functional, but the joysticks are much more accurate than any of the nintendo licensed stuff at any price.

It’s not as nice as some controllers twice the price but for the value there’s no better controller on the market that i’ve found

No point in spending more money on another controller

Most other thirdparty switch controllers and even nintendo joycons half the time have something wrong with them somewhere one component or another that just doesnt work quite right or even close to right

Bought a pair of these after our inlaws gave us a switch for xmas

It typically works but i have had situations where it seems stuck and you cant get it to connect to the switch even though the lights on the device are on and it is definitely fully charged
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I learned that i needed to hold down the button in the center of the controller for over a minute to get the controller to reset
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This was not mentioned in the instructions so it was a bit of trial and error
