8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller for Windows & Android, Gaming Controller with TMR Joysticks, Switchable Hall Effect/Tactile Triggers, RGB Fire Ring, 8Speed Wireless Tech, Purple

Honestly, when I purchased this controller at a friend's recommendation, I was very hesitant. I'm the kind of person that usually plays with wired controllers exclusively via a Windows PC, only using wireless when playing consoles. Input latency (the time it takes for an input on a device to make it to where it needs to go) is always one of my biggest problems.After receiving this controller, it probably took me a week to get over the fact that I could just pick up the controller out of the dock and it would automatically connect to the PC with no effort. I almost immediately forgot about the added input latency and decided that the tradeoff of convenience was very worth it! No more having to press or hold a home button to connect a controller to a device. No more having to wrestle with needing to keep a controller charged.The dock on this controller is its own beauty! The dock is shaped in such a way where you can easily slide the controller onto it without having to fiddle around with getting it into its form (if you have a Nintendo Switch, you know what I'm talking about). The dock itself has a hidden panel on the bottom that you can open up, which reveals the actual dongle, plugged into a USB port, that is used to connect the controller to your PC. If you'd like, you can take this dongle out of the port underneath, use that port for something else, and put the dongle elsewhere in your PC. Or, even better, if you're the kind of person that enjoys gaming in bed or on the sofa, you can just plug the dongle into your PC and then plug the dock in elsewhere, and just pick up the controller when you're ready to connect it!The controller itself is honestly very well put together and feels nice for the price you pay! The sticks and buttons all feel very nice. The face buttons are the perfect mix between soft and clicky, the bumpers are VERY satisfying to press, as they're big and have a very heavy click, and the hall effect joysticks have a very nice feel to their rotation and click. The DPad has a little bit too little feedback for my liking. Sometimes it's hard to tell you've even pressed it when you're hyper-focused on something in a game. The + and - buttons have a similar problem, but at least most games reserve those for pause-like functions! My only major gripe with the controller is that the triggers feel like Dualshock 4 triggers. To some people, that may sound like a huge positive, but to me it's a negative. I've always disliked the feel of those triggers, so these triggers don't have the greatest usage from me.Overall, this controller is GREAT bang for your buck! I can't recommend it enough, especially if you're on the edge about it.

I've completely transitioned from official Xbox controllers to the 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4G Wireless Controller for PC gaming, and it's been a fantastic decision. The build quality is exceptional, and the Hall Effect joysticks provide smooth, precise control without any drift issues.Switching between PC and Nintendo Switch is seamless, which is perfect for our household since my kids and I play on both regularly. The included charging dock is a huge plus. Even my younger kids can dock the controller easily, which keeps things tidy and saves us from going through batteries. The wireless dongle stores right in the dock, making setup simple and keeping everything in one place.The variety of color options allowed each family member to choose their favorite, eliminating any confusion over which controller belongs to whom. Overall, this controller offers a premium experience at a reasonable price and has become a staple in our gaming setup.

One of the best gamepads I have ever used! The analog sticks feel so silky smooth, the triggers have a nice pull, face buttons have quick response. It is easy to switch connecting between bluetooth and USB and I have this controller connected to multiple different devices. This is really impressive to me, because it is usually a huge pain to connect to multiple devices.My largest disappointment is that the D-pad feels very mushy and unsatisfying to press. Unfortunately most gamepads neglect the D-pad because modern games focus on the analog stick, but I play a LOT of RPGs and prever to use the D-pad. I wish there was an option to buy a playstation-style controller with the large D-pad in the analog stick location. The shoulder buttons also feel a tiny bit mushy to me.

4th 8bitdo controller I've owned (N30 Pro, SN30 Pro, SN30 Pro 2), first one I've genuinely enjoyed playing with. Super comfortable in the hand, great build quality. Bumpers are super clicky when switched to that mode as are all other buttons in general. Their software for remapping is easy to use.As for the downsides, being forced into only being able to remap buttons, including the back paddles and L4/R4 to other buttons and not keyboard functions is disappointing. Same as the SN30 Pro 2, just hoped it was something that would have changed in this iteration. Still nice to be able to change key bindings, but more freedom would be nice. Additionally, while RGB might be a very appealing feature to some, a button dedicated to it seems excessive. Would definitely have preferred it be something that could only be interacted with via the software or through multiple button presses, freeing up the single button for something else. My final gripe is that the controller is not bluetooth compatible with PC and that the dongle is rather large. Just seems like an odd step backwards from the SN30 Pro 2 that I've had for years.

Why spent more for other controllers when this one is loaded with features, good quality, and surprisingly affordable? It has 2.4ghz dongle, Bluetooth connectivity, and a charging dock all in one neatly packaged product.It has HE joysticks, extra bumpers, back pedals, and RGB lighting.Absolute steal for the price.
