8Bitdo Ultimate 2C Hall Effect Joysticks and Hall Triggers Wireless Controller for Windows PC and Android, with Remappable L4/R4 Bumpers, Turbo function & Rumble vibration (Green)

This controller punches well above its price point. Responsiveness is excellent, with smooth, precise inputs that feel reliable right out of the box. Nothing feels laggy or mushy, and the controls are consistent during longer play sessions. What really sold me is that my adult kids, who are absolute connoisseurs of gaming gear for value, already own multiples of these. They are picky, informed, and not easily impressed, so the fact that this is a repeat buy for them says a lot. For the price, this feels like one of the best controllers available. It performs the way you want without gimmicks or unnecessary extras, and it just works. If you are looking for a high quality controller without paying premium brand pricing, this is an easy recommendation.

Meant to do this after my first night, but here goes. I actually kind of love this controller. It feels solid, no weird creaks and cracks. The wireless bluetooth dongle is even better than Microsoft. Havent lost connection with my controller one time. It is super affordable and for the quality, I actually think it is an insane ratio of give/get. The extra keys are dope af, but they take some getting used to. L4/R4 is an inspired choice! Will be buying more in the future because these are just that damned good. Thanks!

I have the 8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth and while it is very good, the dpad is probably its biggest flaw. I was intrigued by the Ultimate 2C and am very pleasantly surprised to find the dpad is significantly improved. It's clickier, more responsive and less mushy than the original Ultimate. I was also keen to test the unusual L4 and R4 shoulder buttons which I had never seen before. I can say that these are also a successful addition, easy to use and very easy to set with the special assign button. I thought they may be awkward to hit but they truly work like an assistant to the standard shoulder buttons. The sticks, shell and face buttons are all excellent, good feeling and no accidental activations. Hall effect sticks and triggers at this price is great. I don't use them but the included more convex shaped thumbstick caps are a thoughtful inclusion. I respect 8Bitdo for their willingness to try different configurations and layouts. There is always a tradeoff in terms of price and functionality, so you do lose the back buttons on the pricier models but I find the new L4 and R4 to be a worthy replacement. I'm very pleased to see tweaks and improvements made. 8Bitdo if you're listening, this style of dpad is a vast improvement and the L4 R4 experiment is a keeper. A future 3C with these improvements plus back buttons or even 4 actuator keys like the Xbox Elite controllers would be great.

Lovely controller, excellent triggers and joy sticks! Best value proposition with what feels like no drawbacks in terms of build quality. I loved it so much I gave the Purple one to my girlfriend and bought a Green one for myself. This was when I learned of the only major flaw this controller has, its connectivity. It seems like all the budget was spent on was the hardware as it is fantastic, as it can only connect to PC and android. This means if you have a switch, mac, iPad, or iPhone etc. you cannot use this amazing controller with your platform. Was extremely frustrating finding this out so late, really wish 8bitdo would extend the support to at least Mac as this is my favorite controller of all time and is so close to perfect!

TLDR; This review is primarily for those with unusually small hands and that is not hyperbole. If you do not have the hands of a child, this controller has no connectivity issues, no weird programs to download, it's plug and play, and I highly recommend. Now, for the small handed and curious, read onward... I play almost exclusively on PC, but there are some games that were clearly NOT made with PC in mind. Enter the 8Bitdo Ultimate 2C! It works right out of the box! There are no weird programs to install. Just plug and play! I had one little connectivity blip but it lasted seconds. Other than eliciting a momentary eyebrow raise from me, I just went right back to playing. Oddly, enough I was seeing more input issues in reviews with the wired version than the wireless. Make of that what you will. I have SMALL childlike hands. And that's not an exaggeration. So if you also have small hands.....maaaaybe go with the mini 8Bitdo. I don't think there is a wireless version though (as far as I know) so keep that in mind. The only reason I wonder whether my hands might've fit the mini just a SMIDGE better is because my fingers can reach everything JUST so. But I'm reaching a bit if I want to use the buttons in the center of the controller (I've only ever used the top center right and left buttons so far). Not having played with a controller in many years, is that normal?? It's not a dealbreaker for me though. Especially since the center buttons for the game I'm predominantly using this controller for is for pausing, organizing my inventory, or opening menu/settings. I don't know how often those buttons are generally clicked upon for normal non pause gameplay by your typical console player playing your heavier action games for instance, since those are not the type of games I'm using this controller for. That being said I can use this controller just fine in every other regard. I'm not gonna be dying at a raid boss anytime soon because I couldn't click a center button fast enough. That's NOT the type of games I play with a controller anyway. Aside from that minor quibble in regards to my freakishly small hands and unfamiliarity with all the additional buttons on more modern controllers (grew up on N64 and GameCube), I have zero complaints with this controller. And I'm no controller expert but apparently hall effect joysticks means no drift!! I HATED that about my Switch and even replaced my own joysticks when they'd go bad and calibrations weren't helping. I've played with this controller for a couple of days now with longer play sessions and so far so good! Speaking of longer play sessions, the battery life is great! However, I ALWAYS plug in my controller to charge while I'm not using it. 8Bitdo website says it's around 20 hours for 2.4G connection and around 30 hours for Bluetooth connection. I will try to remember to update this review if anything ever changes in future, but as of right now I am VERY happy with my controller. And I LOVE the peachy pink color. Would recommend!

This controller will feel perfect in your hands. I have big hands and the grip is really comfortable. Hall effect joysticks and triggers will make it last longer. If you're looking for a decent controller on a budget, this is your best bet

I was thoroughly impressed by this controller, especially for the instant responsiveness when you use the 2.4 dongle with it, there is zero lag or latency between controller and inputs when you do it that way. I didn't try the bluetooth since I bought it to use with my steam deck while docked and connected to a monitor. The control is comfortable, easy to charge with a USB-C port, and has the nice little bonus of a Turbo function. The bonus of having 3 trigger buttons on each side gives you the option of more key binds if you want. The price was low for such a good device, I was quite impressed. Plug the USB dongle into your PC, and its instant detect, no setup, pure plug and play.

Se conectó de inmediato a mi Steamdeck, una vez que se conecta te olvidas de tener que volver a sincronizar. Se siente y se maneja muy bien. Recomendado. A mí sí me llegó el llaverito :)

I bought one a while back for my brother as a Christmas gift and he loved it, so I figured I'd buy myself one. This controller is honestly a dream. It feels great in my hands due to its ergonomic design. It's also really sturdy. I'm pretty clumsy and must have dropped it at least 30 times on hardwood flooring. And still, it carries on like nothing happened. Not even a crack on the shell or a broken button. As for gameplay, I use it wirelessly and haven't noticed any input lag.

The hall effect joysticks are subtle and awesome to use. The controller will work over Bluetooth, but I recommend the USB dongle because it has a much higher polling rate and feels much more responsive. Pricing is okay for Canada and the color is nice minty fresh. There are enough programmable buttons. I recommend this as it is also rechargeable something that still is not present in the standard Microsoft controllers

Smaller then an xbox controller, slightly different feel, but you get used to it quickly. Does feel nice in the hand, zero rubberized material to wipe off. Can be a good thing or bad depending on how much you sweat. Light and feels kind of cheap. Still happy with it, for what you get to what you pay for, it's a decent controller.
