8Bitdo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller (Hall Effect Joystick Update) - for Switch/Switch 2, with Remappable L4/R4 Bumpers, 6-axis Motion Control, Rumble Vibration and Turbo Function (Dark Blue)

I recently got my hands on this blue controller, and I have to say, it’s been a great addition to my gaming setup. When it comes to functionality, the controls are spot-on. The buttons are responsive with a satisfying click, and the layout feels natural whether you're playing fast-paced action games or relaxing with something more casual. The joysticks offer precise movement, making gameplay smooth and enjoyable. Another thing is how comfortable it feels. The overall build feels solid in hand, not too heavy, not too light. Overall, this controller delivers exactly what you’d hope for, it has good looks, great feel, and reliable performance. I’m sure I’ll enjoy it for a long time to come!

Got this to use the turbo function. Works well and easy instructions, no extra app or anything needed. I do hear what others mentioned about loud clicks, but it doesn't really bother me since it's not my main remote. So far it's been a great extra controller at a reasonable price.

Works with my Switch perfectly! It doesn't register amiibos though, which isn't a big deal. Cute color, quality controller, and long battery life. The vibration of the controller is good too!

For $30, this controller is absolutely remarkable! While I understand that the official Switch pro controller has some specific features that these lack such as HD Rumble and NFC, I find the quality of these 8bitdo ones to be significantly better. I currently have 2 of these, with a third on the way. In all my tests the 8bitdo controllers have provided consistent and accurate inputs throughout. For people looking to use this for PC games, the digital triggers will make this incompatible or ill suited for quite a few of them. That said, if you're playing on the Switch, these are the triggers your console was designed to use. There are far too many third party Switch controllers using analog triggers. The Switch cannot read analog input values, so the extra effort of pressing those triggers down is wasted on it. The rumble that's present on the controllers, while not Nintendo's HD rumble, is plenty immersive and works well. Gyro is also a much appreciated feature to have at this price point. Wake up works quickly for me every time. Don't forget to give them a little shake, or it won't work. Looks shouldn't matter as much as any of the above, but it most certainly doesn't hurt that these controllers look fantastic in every color. I will update my review, if I run into any early wear issues, but at this time, I strongly recommend these for playing on the Switch.

This is significantly better than Nintendo's own Pro controller. We don't usually use the Joyconns, but this is better than those too. Primarily, this controller has particularly great quality joysticks, and that's important to me. The buttons have good tactile feedback and don't ever stick. The bluetooth connection is strong and connects near instantaneously on either the Switch console itself, or a PC. The battery life is at least the 18 hours stated in the instructions. Usually more like 20+. And the charge time is minimal. Maybe a tenth of that. So 2 ish hours or so from zero to full power. Can be used while charging as well. Force feedback and motion control are also exceptional. One thing that surprised me, the underside of the handles is also covered in a grid like textured pattern that avoids slip in your grip. Tough to see in the pictures. Nice feel and heft to it. For the tech savvy, you can even update the firmware of these devices from 8bitdo themselves. You rarely get such long term support from a 3rd party device, but 8bitdo comes through. Seriously a fantastic company. Those who know use 8bitdo. If I have one complaint, it'd be that the small LED indicator for low battery starts flashing at too high a percentage remaining power. It's on the side facing away from the player, so not annoying. But the device will probably run at least 5 hours after the first time you see it blink. When the kids want to play, gone are the days of arguing to use the Nintendo branded controller. They'd rather play with this one instead. So the Nintendo Pro ends up player 2. I'm confident in recommending this controller to friends, family, and complete strangers. Definitely will buy again. Hope you enjoy.

I tried this third-party Bluetooth controller for my Nintendo Switch, but I ended up returning it. The design and build felt decent, and it was easy to pair with the console. However, the response time was noticeably slower compared to the official controller, which made fast-paced games frustrating to play like Tetris 99. The buttons are comfortable and the controller is lightweight, but the lag made it hard to enjoy certain games. While it could work for casual play, I would recommend sticking with an official or higher-quality third-party option if you need precise responsiveness. I didn't have this controller long enough to comment on stick drift.

Hardware wise, it feels nice in the hand. Unfortunately, the device could NOT wake up the Switch 2, as advertised. Went to a website. Not as bad as multiple Chinese websites, but confusing as F like many. You have to find your match your device to a long page of different controllers, segmented by operating system (Windows, MacOS, etc.). Found multiple images that looked like my device but what the F is the difference between "Bluetooth Controller" and "Wireless Controller". Aren't they the same?! In any case, I picked selected "Bluetooth" since that's what listed on the front of the box. Once you are on the page, you have to download a Zip file, extract it, then run the updater. Zip files are known to be embedded with malwares. Once you have overcame my fear and the updater is active, you have to press a series of keys on the controller to enter update mode: L1 + R1 + Start then wait for the LED to blink. The Start button won't blink, which is what I expecting, since there was no other lights visible. Nope, there is a tiny little light the front, next to the pairing button, facing away from you. Sigh.... Once the device is updated, it shows V1.01. I have no idea what the F it means. Was it updated from V1.01? I thought the website said v2. In any case, I tried multiple times. It does NOT wake up the Switch, which was the only reason I gave this brand a try. Unpacked and repacked within 30 minutes. Sending it back and feeling satisfy snatching my money back from this inept company.

Good quality but short battery life.
