Pros & Cons
Pros
For the money and personalized settings it can't be beat. The only minor problem now is i dont get a notification if its connected or not, once plugged in its already recognized so whatever.
The contour and bends on the controller feel so natural when i grasp it in my hands. I normally use an xbox elite 2 that has a fantastic rubberized grip. I give it a 4 out of 5 because within 20 minutes my thumbs and wrists started to ache.
The * and triggers blend well with the ergonomics. The one downside is the back *. Back side * for shooter.
Cons
The controller refuses to stay connected to my series x. I literally have to disconnect the controller, then reconnect it in order for it to function. The offline datum is only for pc.
The thumbsticks stick, so no sprinting. The directional pad is atrocious and unusable for fighting games or precision platforming.
As a person who mainly fighting games makes the pad completely worthless for 90% of my library. Please do not purchase this item, even for the most casual, infrequent gaming.
Highlights
Quality
They blend well with the ergonomics to where you don't accidentally press them during intense situations in game.
This ones the best and its quality work!
Controllers with paddles tend to be fragile, with the paddles breaking after some use.
The problems: something was way off with the controller, so i did a re calibration to find out the deadzone needed reset.
Price
) it was an absolute steal, and even at the regular retail price, it's definitely worth a look for a solid wired controller.
At the sale price i paid ($20!
Honestly, this thing feels sturdy for how much it costs.
Packaging/appearance
I got it and was pleased with the packaging and how sturdy and build the controller was.
It was recognized by windows 10 and 11 right out of the box.
Power a controllers develop really bad stick drift within just a few weeks, sometimes even right out of the box!
Competitiveness
Will be buying more 8bit products in the future.
) 8bit xbox series s/x wired | 5/5 starsgen 1 8bit xbox/switch wired | 4.
I must have had serious brain flatulence when i went to 8bitdo website.

Wish it worked for the xbox 360

The controller is good but if you find the oem xbox controller to be good comfortable size for your hands then you will most likely find this uncomfortably small

I was looking for a gift for my girlfriend so she could play games on her pc this came up but i was a bit skeptical since third party controllers have a reputation to present malfunctions quite quickly

I was under the impression that the extra buttons on the back were independent buttons but they are not
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You can use 8bitdos software to program them to replicate any other face button but you cannot use them as independent buttons like you can on the steam controller
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This seems to be typical of third party controllers so it isnt too surprising
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I can tell the controller is more delicate than an official model and will probably not survive high intensity gaming
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It also struggles with multiplayer games due to high stick sensitivity and the occasional delays
