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!

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 love all of my 8BitDo controllers and this one works great on the switch. I got it for my girlfriend because she loves the color and it’s the only controller she will use now.

The media could not be loaded. This controller does not feel substantial as it should be for $30. The controller feels cheap and the buttons are loose enough to rattle. The controller is ok but some people might be irritated by the rattling of the loose buttons. Sure the buttons work and the rear bumpers are not as loose, but all the buttons should be firm enough that they aren't constantly making noise while playing games.

This controller is a great value. It has solid build quality, it’s pretty comfortable to my hands, it has hall-effect sticks and extra, programmable bumper buttons. I have the pink one and the tone is pretty nice. My only negative about these really is that the vibration motor can occasionally be weirdly loud with certain games. It has a very high frequency sort of chirp so if you’re very noise-sensitive be aware of that.

Probably the best controller I've bought for the switch. The texture is smooth. The buttons are not stiff. And there's no lag even when I switch to Pc. And for the price I bought it it's just perfect. There are controllers that are way more expensive that aren't as good.

I bought this for my Switch 2 and it didn't work on release, but 8bitdo was very quick to get a firmware patch out. Now it works perfectly and I can say I'm super happy with my purchase. This beats paying for a pro controller any day and it still has incredible build quality. I wish I could have purchased it in black, but hey that is a concession I'm fully willing to make for this kind of quality for the price.
