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

Do it
First off, for the current price of barely more than an Andy, this is a no brainer. If you’re even slightly considering getting a controller in this category, just do it and save yourself the headache of overthinking it.The good bits. Spoiler: there aren’t any actually bad bits. This controller (the Wukong version) looks quite nice, feels good in the hand, and works great. It would be rather difficult to have any issue at all with the basic functionality. It is one of these new-fangled controllers with detachable cable, and the included cable is pretty beefy. Thicker than any of my other USB-C charging cables. All of the buttons are well placed, the sticks are amazing (remniscent of Xbox 360 controller), and the texture of the plastic keeps the controller from feeling slippery. The d-pad is quite alright having a feel perfectly in between mushy and clicky. Probably not going to want to play a fighting game with it, but it’s perfect for those utility functions that the d-pad is often assigned in modern games. R4 and L4 are perfectly placed where they aren’t too easy to hit accidentally, but also not too hard to hit intentionally. Vibration works out of the box in XInput with no effort from the user. Hall effect sticks and triggers are as accurate as you are.Ok, the “bad” parts. This controller is smaller than it looks. I don’t have huge hands and my thumbs can easily overlap at the guide button without adjusting my grip. Not sure why that would be a problem, but whatever. The software has no use for this controller other than updating the firmware. R4/L4 can only be bound with the buttons on the controller itself. This controller presents itself to Windows 11 as a 360 controller, so there is no share button. DirectInput sees it as a 5 axis, 1 POV, 10 button controller, so no Guide button there. The extra buttons (square/bind, star/auto) cannot be set as buttons visible to software, and R4/L4 cannot be set to anything except pre-existing buttons or a combination thereof. If you were hoping to use R4/L4 as legit extra buttons or anything like that, too bad.Having said that, if you’re in the market for a modern XInput controller, I have no idea why you would get anything else. The price is too low to ignore, and the quality is there.

This controller is an absolute gem! The lilac purple finish is gorgeous and unique — it adds a pop of color to my setup without feeling childish. The design is sleek, lightweight, and very comfortable to hold, even during long gaming sessions.The buttons and joysticks feel precise and responsive, with no input lag. The triggers have a nice resistance, and the D-pad is excellent for retro-style games. It really feels like a high-quality controller at a very reasonable price point.I’ve tested it across devices — Windows PC, Steam Deck, and Android — and it works seamlessly. Plug-and-play is effortless, and the compatibility makes it versatile enough to be my go-to for nearly everything.The wired connection is rock-solid with no dropouts, and the cable length is generous enough for couch gaming. Plus, it’s great not having to worry about batteries or charging.Overall, the 8Bitdo Ultimate C Wired Controller is stylish, reliable, and incredibly comfortable. Whether you’re gaming on PC, handheld, or emulators, this controller delivers smooth performance and a premium feel. Highly recommended!

Il controller che arriva a casa è esattamente quello mostrato in foto. Nessuna brutta sorpresa per quanto riguarda estetica e qualità costruttiva: sono molto sorpreso, in positivo, del rapporto qualità/prezzoHo provato qualche gioco e sono più che soddisfatto dalle prestazioni e dal comfort. Il controller è anche molto leggero ma senza dare l’impressione di fragilità e risparmio.Faccio presente che uso un sistema operativo Linux e pur non essendo ufficialmente supportato da questo Ultimate 2C sono riuscito ad usarlo senza il minimo problema: collegato e riconosciuto alla prima. Vista la varietà del mondo Linux però non posso garantire che sarà così indolore per tutti, comunque sappiate che si può fare.Se proprio devo trovare un difetto (ma proprio se devo) segnalo la vibrazione un po’ troppo rumorosa.In definitiva per un prezzo che non raggiunge la soglia psicologica dei 20€ lo consiglio senza riserve.

Lo compre como mi primer control, no soy una experta jugando pero ya tengo meses con el y me ha servido bien para jugar stardew valley, F1 2024, GRIS, y Hyper Light Drifter.Todos los botones funcionan bien y es super facil de conectar a la laptop; en mi caso el sistema es W11 con una asus tuf 15 de 2021. Recomendado si quieres empezar a jugar y usar control sin gastar mucho dinero, además es muy cómodo de sostener y no necesita baterías.
