8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller for Windows PC and Android, with 1000 Hz Polling Rate, Hall Effect Joysticks and Triggers, and Remappable L4/R4 Bumpers (Green)

Bought this controller since the 8BitDo controller I had been using previously (the SN30 pro) was starting to show its age, and as usual 8BitDo shows that they're the best when it comes to quality but still affordable controllers. Feels excellent in the hand, great build quality and works great on PC with no hassle. Easily my new go-to, all-purpose controller.

For a budget controller, this one punches way above its weight. If you held this in your hands, you'd refuse to believe that it cost only $30! The triggers on this thing are by far the best I have ever seen in a controller. Not even the DualSense comes anywhere near it. Shoulder buttons are so clicky, triggers have crazy good tension, and are extremely satisfying to pull. Even the two remappable buttons are just as good. The D-pad on this thing is excellent and has a nice tactile feeling. Playing platformer games using this controller is a whole different experience. Also, this uses Hall effect joysticks, meaning I don't have to worry about stick drift at all. The battery life is in a class of its own. Nothing comes close to it. It puts my DualSense to shame, really. The only downside is that the controller is a bit compact, and you'll find it a bit uncomfortable if you have gigantic hands. But that aside, for $30, this feels premium, and you won't regret it.

Took a minute to understand the home controls, since it works with both an Xbox and a PS controller. However, works and plays smoothly. I like the matte finish and webbed control sticks for better grip. It's Bluetooth as well, but I prefer USB, as it will do anything. The controls are still the same (A is A, B is B, RT is RT, etc.). There are other control buttons on the controller that I am not familiar with (not a hardcore gamer), but might be interesting to others, as seen in the photos below. It DOES NOT have batteries; it is a rechargeable controller. It comes as a C-Cable, but any C-cable will work. For battery life, I cannot confirm. I have played Skyrim with this (which we all know we can play hours without noticing the time with that game) and did not show low battery or died on me. The reason I do not know the battery life as it's a habit of mine to charge things right away (otherwise I will forget). I will agree it has a long battery life. I have had this controller for a few months now, and it has worn out as I expected it would. Again, not a hardcore gamer, so it may not be durable to others. In a general use where button-mashing isn't a key component, the product is good. It does not come with a case (as seen in the photos), but I also got it on Amazon for relatively cheap (around $10-$15), and it has been good to me. All in all, a relatively sturdy controller with smooth play and long battery life.

Purchased 2 of these for my wife and I and man are they nice. For the price they feel really sturdy and the quality (So far) has far surpassed the asking price. Controller seems responsive and has no issues connecting through BT or the 2.4ghz dongle. I use mine constantly and the Battery also seems to last a good long amount (a good full day on a full charge) Color options are also pretty stellar.

I would have rated this 5 stars but it seems to have a delay when pushing the on button. My experience is that I generally have to press the button twice in order for the controller to turn on. The controller was a more fair price than the Microsoft Xbox controller. The problem with the Microsoft Xbox controller is it required a software update which was only possible through the Windows store or an actual Xbox game device. The Microsoft store has a known issue that causes the update to fail, so I had to return it and purchase this one. This one worked perfectly the first time and was easy to update. In addition it provides wifi or Bluetooth connection. Works very well other than the issue with turning it on.

This controller is impressive. I would prefer to use a PS5 Dual Sense controller, but I've found that it is incompatible or only usable with workarounds for several PC games. The shape of the 2c is similar to a Switch pro controller, while the layout and button configuration compares to an Xbox or generic PC controller. I originally bought the 2c for games that the Dual Sense was incompatible with, and immediately found that I preferred it over the latter. It's comfortable, and it just works with everything. I don't have to fiddle around in windows or ask Google how to set it up for a particular game. The 2c functions like an Xbox controller, but I prefer the slightly inset profile. The shape and profile are more similar to a Switch Pro controller. The quality is comparable to first party controllers, too. Buttons feels clicky, if just a little too much. Triggers and bumpers feel good, like controllers costing twice as much. Vibration has definition and feels tight with no rattle. I haven't had a use for the extra L4 and R4 buttons yet, but they are convenient enough to access and also stay out of the way. I bought a green one of these about a month ago. I was so impressed, I ordered a purple one so my son and I can play together. For the price, I don't have many criticisms. I wish it came in different colors. Otherwise, for the price, this really is as good as you're going to get, and more.

I bought a newer, more fancier controller to replace with this one, but I realized how much I missed the feel and layout of this controller. So, I decided not to use it until this one started drifting, the buttons began failing, or the battery or connection starting showing signs of declination. But, it just refuses to deteriorate. The only nitpicky complaint I have is when playing something like Rocket League and pressing the triggers in as far as I can, I feel a spring-like tension before they're fully depressed that makes me think I'll break them if I press too hard. So far, they're still working fine though. It doesn't have the bells and whistles if a $200 controller, but it's solid and works well. It's just a good controller, especially for the price.

My kid uses this for his steamdeck. I haven't used it myself but (1) it worked with his steamdeck immediately and easily and (2) he says its better than all his other controllers (including those for the nintindo switch). He says it has all the right buttons and is perfect .... I think he watched a bunch of youtube videos before he picked this one out. I thought the packaging was simple enough to figure out, but my son couldn't find the USB dongle. It's kind of embedded into the box - if you don't see it, break down all the cardboard and you'll find it.
