8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller for Windows PC, Apple, Steam & Android, Gaming Controller with TMR Joysticks, Hall/Tactile Triggers, Motion Control, RGB Fire Ring, 1000Hz Polling Rate, Black

I bought this to use with my Steamdeck. Connecting it was a breeze. The built in wireless receiver stays neatly plugged into the controller’s charging base and I keep that plugged into to my docking station. This charging base is super handy. It fits the controller perfectly and turns it off as soon as you place it on it. It also glows temporarily to let you know it’s charging. The controller feels great in hand and the buttons and sticks function perfectly. I love the trigger stops that allow you to adjust length of pull. The connection is flawless. Battery life is insanely good. The icing on the cake is that you can cycle through fun colors around the ring’s around thumb sticks. I highly recommend this product and I will be buying another to sit at my gaming PC.

Everything about it feels like an upgrade. The button, stick and trigger response feels right. The programmable macro switches on the back and underside are placed perfectly so I didn't have to be a contortionist to use them. And since we're on the subject, every single button and switch is programmable. You can send every function to wherever you want it to be. Another cool touch is that the wireless dongle is tucked away in the docking station. You have the choice to remove it and plug directly into your PC. But it's better to use the dock. Because everything is automatic. Place the controller in the dock and you're instantly charging. Remove it and it instantly connects wirelessly at 2.8ghz. It with the flick of a switch via Bluetooth. And of course you can plug it directly and use it wired. Another unique feature are the LED lights. You can change the colors but also how they behave. Evenb option to have every action show as a location on your stick ring colors. You have to see it to get it. As I said, best controller I've ever used. Well worth the price. About $90 in 2026.

They fixed the connection issue from version 1. Now it never drops connection. The version 1 drops connect like 4-5 times a day. This never does. I should give it 4 stars but on these scales, a 4 star would make people not buy it when compared to other controllers it's probably better. I wish they would let you configure all the buttons on a keyboard because as it is right now, all their extra buttons are useless when it can only map to a game controller's buttons. Also I really dislike the R buttons placement, it's way too high up making me extend my index finger sideways. The joysticks padding is way too thin. It should've been fat and rounded. I really like how fast it connects after taking it off of the charger, this is way better than xbox one controller on pc. I never used the led lights. It's super distracting to have a bright light right under your eye. As for construction quality, it has a solid premium feel. I mean I'm using it for a reason. This is a decent controller and probably better than most of them. Although button placement on an xbox one controller was perfection. Also having an actual charge stand is so much nicer than a little charger that sticks to it. It's so nitpicky to say this but it feel so much nicer to just put it on a charger and take it off with one hand. Very convenient feeling and that makes all the difference.

Controller is on par with an official Xbox One controller in terms of build quality for a lower price point. Have been using it on PC for a while now and it seems to function well. After updating the firmware on the controller, all buttons are mapable using Steam Input which is a large plus. Thumbsticks are great and have a very smooth flow to them. Same with the triggers. Only complaint i have it that the controller uses standard tactile buttons for the ABXV buttons instead of mouse click style, but that is more of a personal preference as I am sure some people would prefer the tactice feel. Overall, I would highly recommend this controller for PC use. Easy, stable connection, good thumbsticks, good trigers, good build quality, love the charging dock.

I love this thing. 98% of it is impeccable. 8BitDo's naming convention is a little bit confusing, but this particular controller is pretty much JUST for PC, and it is a very solid choice for PC at that. Very smooth sticks, nice membrane buttons, L2 and R2 triggers that can be transformed from analogue triggers to digital clicky buttons, all good stuff. The dpad is different from 8bitdo's earlier revisions, with it being more 'tactile' than rubber membrane. I think the closest similarity to another product might be a PS Vita dpad, where it has an in between rubber dome of most dpads of the past and the clickiness of XBOX controllers. In theory, this should be amazing for precision platformers or Tetris type of games, as you will feel when you press a direction the way you meant to or accidentally press a wrong direction input. Could it feel fatiguing? I can't quite tell, but playing games for over 2 hours at a time would fatigue me anyway. The input latency is insanely good, like you can have the dock connected to the PC and will connect with 2.4ghz to its dock and it feels just about the same as connecting the controller through a wire. You *could* use the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth if you want, but that would be better for Switch/Switch2 as I think it has more latency (according to Gamepadla) which is fine for the Nintendo Consoles and is more in line with how those controllers and consoles work. If your main focus is PC, get this instead for the better input latency. I also appreciate how classy, understated, and not 'aggressively gamer' it looks, compared to other third party controllers. My only complaint is about the R1 and L1 bumpers, but this is more of a taste thing. I would have preferred a rubber membrane button for the bumpers, but if I wanted that then I would use the older model Ultimate C that I have. If you were to get only ONE gamepad for your PC, I can highly vouch for this one.

Very comfortable, it has a very nice rumble, and the lights are customizable and can easily be turned off. Mapping the extra buttons is easy, and works well.

I initially bought the Ultimate 2C, and it was very good, but this one Ultimate 2 just feels much more premium, and it is. I'm very satisfied with the purchase, the ergonomics of the controller are excellent 👌.

J'ai changé de manette suite à une extinction complète après des années de dure labeur d'une nacon ultimate (200€) et je suis extrêmement content de cette 8bitdo (60€). Manette très réactive, parfaitement compatible avec mon pc qui l'a détecte aussitôt enlevé du socle de charge. Très qualitatives, ergonomique, impression de robustesse ... Sur le plan technique, c'est une des meilleures manette du marché avec un prix explosant toute concurrence (joystick tmr, gâchette hall effect/ lineaire...). Taille de manette unique plus petite qu'une manette élite ou PS5, peut être déplaisant pour certain, elle me convient parfaitement malgré de grandes mains. Les seuls points "négatif" (subjectifs) que je lui ai trouvé sont: - le software qui ne propose pas de personnalisation des paramètres joystick ( courbe d'accélération) -Le software qui ne propose pas de couleur constante, seuls des mods de couleurs variables sont personnalisables Si vous êtes un joueur plus occasionnel sa petite sœur ultimate 2c fait parfaitement l'affaire ,étant pour moi le meilleur rapport qualité-prix existant (il n'y a bien sûr pas les même caractéristiques).

O controle 8BitDo superou minhas expectativas. Utilizo para jogar Zelda Breath of the Wild no Cemu e a experiência é excelente. O controle tem um acabamento impecável, passa muita qualidade e é bem confortável, mesmo em longas sessões de jogo. Outro ponto muito positivo é a segurança e precisão dos joysticks com Hall Effect, que evitam drift e garantem maior durabilidade. Além disso, o controle conta com um software próprio, que permite realizar algumas configurações e ajustes. Observação: não é possível fazer bind substituindo teclas do teclado por botões do controle; o software permite apenas configurar binds entre os próprios botões do controle. Tirando esse detalhe, o controle é simplesmente maravilhoso. Ótima resposta dos botões, excelente compatibilidade e ótimo custo-benefício. Recomendo muito!

Completely unusable for the reason intended. I have only had this controller for a day and had nothing but problems. Firstly I want to use it on Bluetooth, it registered however when I go into my PC games the A and B button are switched. I had to download some software to fix it Thought my problem was solved? Nope, next went into my game and registered as playstation despite the buttons being the same as xbox. I'm so sad, I just wanted to get away from xbox controllers as they break on me quite frequently. Do better 8bitdo.
