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)

Before I start this review, I will say this: Get this controller, now. I was in the market for a backup controller, something that maybe wasn't as nice as my ~$70 daily driver, but was still solid enough to play some games at a low price. The 8BitDo UIt 2C has blown every expectation I had of it out of the water, and that is considering the fact I knew a lot of people praised it for being a great low budget option. From the moment I unboxed the 2C, I knew I was in for a treat, I loved the way the buttons felt, the travel on the triggers, the responsiveness of the sticks, everything. The controller itself is made out of plastic, but it by no means feels cheap. The back of the controller has a textured grip that doesn't feel overwhelmingly tacky, the thumbsticks have a nice smooth convex rubber top, with the sides being a rougher, grippier texture that grabs onto your fingers well. The controller is reasonably lightweight without feeling cheaply made, and the shape makes it easy to use during extended play sessions. In terms of the feel in actual gameplay, it is awesome. The hall effect triggers and sticks make tolerances very tight, and it's awesome for durability as you realistically cannot get stick drift like you would with first party controllers that cost double. I've used this controller in all three modes, with 2.4GHz wireless and wired being my favorites. I don't feel any latency at all, even when I'm using bluetooth, which is surprising as that is usually where you experience the most of it. When connected to my PC, Windows just treats it like an Xbox controller, and there is not any setup required. The battery life lasts a very long time, I received it a month ago and I've only had to charge it once. I actually haven't touched my main controller since I started using the 2C, it is that good. I don't know what the wizards at 8BitDo are doing to be able to get this high quality of a product out at such a low cost, but I genuinely hope that they continue with the way they're going. Don't even bother looking at anything else in this price range

Nice controller. Paired flawlessly with Win11 PC in an instant and is working great with Steam, GOG, etc. It’s a mildly textured hard plastic that I like. No annoying extra buttons on the back. It does have extra shoulder buttons but they’re unobtrusive and don’t get in the way. No unnecessary and annoying LED lighting. Hall effect sticks and triggers. Has Bluetooth and 2.4ghz for lower latency. Pretty decent battery life. The form factor is good, but not the greatest. The shoulder bumpers don’t fall as naturally under the finger as the official Xbox controller, and all controllers are inferior to the ergonomics of the Switch 2 pro controller. You can’t beat it for $28 when others are charging $70-100. I’ll update this review if there are any longevity concerns.

This is a wonderful product. Sturdy and quality build and feel, the dongle connection is amazing i havent had a single disconnect, it connects easily, and the battery lasts a long time. Great product especially for its price! If it had two more extra buttons id give it 6 stars 😅.

Absolutely blown away by the quality of this controller for only $26! It came packaged well and the accessories (3ft cable and dongle) are color-matched to the controller! Build quality seems great; there's enough heft so it doesn't feel hollow and all the buttons are satisfying to press. I love that the controller has haptics!! They make gaming more immersive and are exactly what I was looking for as someone who used a DualShock previously! There is one little sharp edge at the seam where the front plastic meets the rear plastic on the left grip, but your palm would never normally touch this area during regular use. Setup was as simple as plugging the dongle in and turning the controller on. It was instantly recognized by Windows/Steam and I was able to start playing games. It uses USB-C for charging and has Bluetooth/wired compatibility. I only have about 10 hours or so on this controller, so time will tell for durability, but first impressions have been wonderful! I genuinely think this controller far outperforms my PS4 controller for less than half the cost!

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.

This is a great controller that works on Switch, PC, AMD over Bluetooth on phones which makes it so convenient. It feels very comfortable in the hand and has very precise controls. Absolutely worth it!

I've been using this controller for about a year. After purchasing 2 of these on sale, that turned out so great I went back and bought 2 more later for the kids. It's a simple controller that shows everything I need, has low latency on dongle, long battery life, and works perfectly on PC. I use both retro and modern scenarios, and there's nothing this controller can't handle. I didn't realize how far the budget controller space has come - there is ZERO reason to shell out big money for fancy features. Honestly, on a controller - more features doesn't necessarily mean not better. While I have nothing against my GameSir G7 Wired - it's just more of a hassle dealing with wires when playing with 3 kids who might trip over then and break the computer. I always insisted I needed the lowest latency possible - but I don't notice any difference between the GameSir wired and these 8bitDo controllers. Latency is great on the dongle, and each controller comes with one. If you need more USB ports, just grab a cheap Anker USB hub to turn one port into 4. I can't recommend any other controller. Even without the frequent sales, it's still as great deal.

I recently purchased the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller for use with my Windows PC and Android devices, and I am thoroughly impressed. Design and Build Quality The controller has a sleek and ergonomic design that feels comfortable during extended gaming sessions. The matte finish provides a good grip, and the build quality is solid, giving it a premium feel despite its affordable price. Performance The 1000Hz polling rate ensures ultra-responsive input, which is noticeable in fast-paced games. The Hall Effect joysticks and triggers offer precise control and are a significant upgrade over traditional potentiometer-based inputs. The remappable L4/R4 bumpers add versatility, allowing for customized control schemes without the need for additional software. Compatibility and Connectivity Connecting the controller to both my PC and Android phone was straightforward. The 2.4G wireless connection is stable, and switching between devices is seamless. The inclusion of a mode switch button simplifies toggling between platforms. Battery Life The battery life is impressive, lasting several days of regular use on a single charge. This longevity makes it a reliable companion for both casual and extended gaming sessions. Conclusion Overall, the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller offers exceptional value for its price. Its combination of high-end features, solid build quality, and cross-platform compatibility makes it an excellent choice for gamers looking for a versatile and reliable controller. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a quality gamepad for PC and Android gaming.

One of the best controllers you can get in this price range. The build quality feels premium, the Hall Effect triggers are smooth, the buttons have a satisfying clicky feel, and overall it feels great in hand. Just go for it.

I'm extremely satisfied with the ones I got; they feel very high quality, yet they aren't heavy or bulky. Perfect for small to medium sized hands and they will feel familiar to anyone who used an Xbox controller before. Connectivity is simple using both the included dongle or Bluetooth, the battery lasts for an incredibly long time, and they charge fast and using USB-C. The thumb sticks are extremely precise and have basically no deadzone and no drift. The triggers have a shorter throw than I would prefer but they feel very nice as well. The rest of the buttons have a very snappy and satisfying feeling. I can't evaluate the d-pad as I don't play many games that are heavily focused on it. The vibration motors are also very tight feeling and strong. As for negatives, I don't have much to say, and especially not any that would offset the positives. That's not even considering the aggressive pricing compared to other controllers. I'm very satisfied and already pondering buying yet a few more. If I had to point out something negative it would be how poorly communicated the extra features are. There's basically no documentation included either in the box or on the website itself. In fact, a few features from older models (like 0 deadzone setting) are present but you wouldn't know unless you actually looked online for how to activate them. The software could be more comprehensive.

This is now my go to, I have 2 Xbox One controllers and this is my favourite. It feels good in the hand, it's very responsive and I've had no stick drift at all after intensive use over 6 months. It feels premium. These are now my go to brand of controllers going forward.

Usato cablato con PC devo dire che mi ha sorpreso in positivo, soprattutto in considerazione al prezzo contenuto.Si presenta solido e leggero con una risposta ottima ai comandi.Per il momento promosso a pieni voti
