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 has been an awesome controller so far. After the initial charge I tried to set it up with my TV Bluetooth and it was flawless. I also had similar results with my tablet and laptop. Ability to swap between using the dongle and Bluetooth is really handy And lets me keep some of sanity from having to swap Bluetooth frequently. I also really enjoy the additional bumper buttons on the back compared to other controllers. It feels really good in the hands And has a really long battery life. The controller is also very high quality built and is very durable. I have accidentally dropped it a few times already and my dogs knocked it off the table with their tails with no damage done. For the overall price and quality of this controller, it is definitely worth it and better than any Xbox or PlayStation controller.

works great except for a slight issue where it will sometimes auto push the back fire button while pushing in the L3 button to run. Doesn't happen all the time but enough that it can be a problem if playing competitively. Probably wont happen to every controller tho.

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.

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!

Amazing controller to replace my faulty Xbox one controller. I use it for my PC using the wireless hub. Works like a charm! •Pros: -The turbo function is cool and handy, just note that you will need to reassign it each time you start the controller. -The extra L4 and L4 buttons are handy, I mostly use them to remap the L3 and R3 buttons on the analog sticks; so it is easier to run while moving in most RPGs. Just note that they are not considered as separate buttons (extra button); they act like replica buttons. -The built in battery is good but not great. It is not a huge issue though as the provided USB-C cable can be used to recharge the battery as you are using the controller which is nice. -It comes with 2 rubber caps for analog sticks! •Cons: -What I found a little annoying; the RB button is a little loose in its socket. The trigger buttons feels a bit squeaky when being pressed. •General notes: (not good nor bad) -The controller is a little smaller than the Xbox one. You can get used to it over time. I just wanted to note that out. -The RB and LB are “clicky”, again, something you get used to over time. -The position of start and select buttons can be a bit confusing, especially if you’re used to the Xbox controller. Overall, this is a solid controller, and considering it’s price, I highly recommend it!

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!

This 8bitdo controllers are some of the best bang for your buck controllers available. I have four of them that I use with a PC for couch games wirh the family, good battery life. Good wireless 2.4g connection. I havent tried Bluetooth. They feel solid. Small enough for younger kids and big enough for most adults to use comfortably.

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.

Steam just announced that these controllers are now natively supported in Steam OS but they worked perfectly fine before so the "doesn't work on linux" reviews are from folks that don't know how to troubleshoot. Any game on Steam I've found that didn't recognize it I found that by turning on Steam Input in game settings it's treated like an xbox controller and mapped as such. The controller looks great with the mint/beige colour scheme and includes a mint usb c cord as well as a mint "brick-wall" wifi dingle. There are also rubber covers for the joysticks included. The led power light is also a mint colour. Feels good to hold, lighter than an xbox controller, d-pad is quite tight but I like that, everything else feels typical. Very nice.

I bought this because I recently ran into an issue with my laptop and couldn’t play any games for the past 2 months. I finally decided to try playing them through a streaming service through my smart TV and decided to buy this controller. It works like a charm! I’ve had no input lag issues from the Bluetooth mode thus far, and the colours on this controller are beautiful! The buttons are also so smooth and nice to press down on. Not crazy loud, but just a nice satisfying click on some of the buttons. The LT and RT are actually pretty noise free! I’d definitely recommend this controller!!

Excellent controller for the money. Absolutely no complaints. Never had any problems. Worked immediately. Perfect with steam. Used to try using a PS5 controller even wired it was not the greatest. This is just phenomenally. Better to the point where I hate PS5 controllers now

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.

Have to say honest review, I paid 90 plus tax for an original Xbox controller and then bout this because my daughters liked the pink. This controller has been beyond what I expected. Battery on a single charge has gotten me through halo 1,2 3 and half through 4 so far. Still going no charge needed yet. Both Bluetooth and usb have been working great for me.
