8Bitdo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller (TMR Joystick Update), RGB Fire Ring, Switchable Hall Effect/Tactile Triggers, Vibration and Motion Control for Switch/Switch 2, Windows PC (Black)

The ultimate in convenience.
This has become my go-to controller for my PC and Switch. I have the charging dock for one plugged into my PC and the charging dock for another one plugged into my Switch, and each charging dock has a 2.4 GHz dongle inside it. With each controller set to 2.4 GHz mode (via the toggle switch on the back), all I have to do is take the controller off the charging dock and it automatically turns on and connects. When I’m done using it, I just set it back into its dock and it automatically turns off. That’s a whole new level of convenience for me when it comes to controllers. No plugging it in via a USB cable to charge it. No frustration from trying to establish a connection every time with my PC or Switch. All I have to do is dock it to charge it and take it off the dock when I want to play.The 2.4 GHz connectivity for these controllers is so good that I don’t even bother with the Bluetooth functionality they were named for. It works, but it’s totally unnecessary for connecting to PC and Switch.In addition, these controllers have a Super Nintendo-style d-pad and hall effect sensing analog sticks (which is supposed to eliminate the stick drift problem that can crop up in some controllers).I can only assume that any negative reviews for this controller must be from people who just had some bad luck and received a lemon, because my 8BitDo Ultimate controllers have been working beautifully so far. I’ve owned a lot of 8BitDo products over the years, and this the best one I’ve owned.

Great product and amazing price
Replaced the Xbox controller with stick drift my wife was using. She was reluctant at first because she hates change but she loves it. It fits her hand better. The 2.4ghz connection is great and latency isnt noticable. She loves the extra buttons on back that keeps her from having to use the stick buttons for things like running and crouching. 10/10 would recommend.

Right joystick sticking in place less than 3 months of use
Edit September 21st, 2024: 8bitdo is working with me to send me a replacement controller. I had to pay the shipping cost. I have not received the replacement yet, and they told me the red version is discontinued so I chose white.-Edit November 16th, 2024: After a long delay caused by Hurricane Helene, and then shipping from overseas, I can say I finally have the replacement controller in my hands and everything works as intended. This saga is over with for now. If anything changes I will let you know. Thank you 8bitdo!Original review:First of all – I love this controller. It has a great shape, grip, triggers, works Bluetooth so you don’t have to plug the USB dongle into the Switch, hall effect joysticks that don’t drift – every future game controller should have these. They’re super, super smooth.But what do you do when the stick itself gets stuck in place?Suddenly my camera was going crazy when I was trying to aim. I thought it was drift, but calibration was okay. And then I noticed the problem of the stick not returning to center when tilted in the 10-11:00 o’clock position.Amazon return window is closed. Only one month. Lovely.Contacted 8bitdo Support days ago. They’ve been responding once a day. They first told me to press down extremely hard to “reseat” the joystick. I had already tried that, because it seems like it could be catching on the housing.I tried it many times. It did not solve the problem. It just made it worse. Now it also sticks in the 5:00 o’clock position.I have since read on the internet in several different places that this has been an issue with the controller, and the company, for a few years now and they do nothing to correct the issue in manufacturing or otherwise.Another issue is the left stick – it seems to not have any protection while rotating, so its like it is grinding down into a fine powder. 🥴 It hasn’t been an issue yet. If any stick was stuck in place, I would have assumed it to be that one, but no.I hate that, because this is the best controller I have ever had. Or it was. I’m tired of this slow back and forth. Using the joycons in the joycon grip sucks. I changed the joysticks in them to hall effect, but the triggers and buttons are way too small, and the sticks are super, super sensitive.I wanted something to use with TV with hall effect sticks and turbo, but there was a reason I never bought 3rd party controllers… I got a lemon again. I never should have stopped using the Switch Pro Controller when I had it.Truly heartbreaking. Until they actually do something about this and not put you at risk of getting a defective controller, I would look somewhere else or get the stuff to change drifting sticks yourself, or buy one someone else has modded for sale. That may be my next project. Switch Pro Controller with hall effect sticks, or wait for the Switch 2 Pro Controller if it has them…

Bonne manette, satisfait !
