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

First of all, I need to clarify that I mostly play Retro games. I've been testing the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C for about two days. I have to say, I'm impressed! I wasn't initially sold on it being primarily wireless, but having tried it in multiple games, and the lag is almost non-existent. The buttons have zero wobble, and that D-pad is a delight; you can feel the click, but it's not too noisy, as it was with my previous controller. That said, if you're planning to use this controller for fighting games, you might want to look for something else. Excellent controller, overall. That wireless USB adaptor looks cute, and the purple version of the Ultimate 2C looks pretty!

The quality of the keypad is very good, and it has smooth design. I'll buy it again.

Better than all the expensive controllers I've ever owned. Plus, it feels premium and lasts a full day or two with heavy use and up to a week with light use. 10/10 for cost, features, and battery life!

Really good controller, shame it doesnt work on apple devices

Good Price. But analog has accuracy issues can be a product defect. Cant return as i dont have a substitute controller. Will buy again from a local seller with extended warranty as i liked the controller.

Accurate sticks with smooth rotation, the squared shape is uncomfortable for long sessions.

Here’s a cleaner, sharper version, Jaff: The build quality is great and the controller feels excellent in the hand. Unfortunately, the software is unreliable, half the time it doesn’t work. There’s also no hardware-level remapping for the L4 and R4 buttons, not even for macros. You’re forced to rely entirely on the software, which for me only functioned as a firmware updater for the controller and dongle. Nothing more. Oh, and you cannot remap the L4 and R4 buttons to L3 or R3, which is an asinine decision on 8bitdo's part. Just do yourself a favor and get a Gamesir.

Feels great in hand, responsive buttons, works perfectly on PC and Switch. المسكه مريحة والأزرار سريعة الاستجابة، يشتغل تمام على الكمبيوتر والسويتش.

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.

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.

Acquistato per la sua versatilità: funziona perfettamente sia su PC (con dongle) che su Android tramite Bluetooth. Qualità costruttiva davvero ottima, pulsanti reattivi e una batteria che garantisce svariate ore di gioco. Il colore è molto bello e dopo diverso tempo di utilizzo non ha presentato alcun problema. Consigliato senza dubbio!

Der Controller ist wirklich großartig - und das zu einem sehr niedrigen Preis! Die Haptik - auch wenn die Handgriffe sehr steil nach unten gehen zu scheinen, ist sehr angenehm. Die leicht angeraute Oberfläche an der Rückseite des Controllers lässt ihn auch für länger Zeit angenehm halten, ohne das schwitzige Hände nervig werden können. Absolutes Highlight sind meiner Meinung nach die Trigger - diese sind unglaublich reibungslos und lassen so sehr modulierte Eingaben zu. Die Sticks sind ebenfalls sehr gut - mit nur wenig Input lassen sich diese einfach leicht aus der Mitte bringen und haben durch die Hall-Sensoren eine extremst gute Langlebigkeit und Genauigkeit. Kompatibilität sollte auch kein Problem sein - die Akkulaufzeit ist lange, es werden sehr viele Geräte und auch Bluetooth unterstützt, wodurch eine große Bandbreite an möglichen Einsatzzwecken abgedeckt wird. Am PC, wo ich ihn nutze, war es einfach Plug & Play, keine nervige Zusatz-Software oder Treiberinstallation war nötig - sehr angenehm! Ein wirklich guter Controller - und das zu einem Bruchteil der Kosten von bekannten Markenherstellern (bei besserer Qualität) !

I wanted to give this controller a few months of heavy use before giving it an honest review. I got this controller in later October 2025, been using it for majority of the time since then (02/10/2026 time of this review). I have mostly used it for Switch emulation, GameCube/Wii emulation and a couple of PC games. I am happy to say the controller is MORE than good enough to give it a solid 5 stars! If It was possible I would bump it down to 4.8 (more on that later, don't worry, it's not deal breaker, at least for me). When you see a high Amazon score in this day and age, it's sometimes difficult to take it seriously because of how many botted reviews there are on some products out there but if you are in the same boat as me and are paranoid about reviews, let me put those worries to bed for you. The reviews are not exaggerated or overblown! This controller really is THAT GOOD! Let's dive into the positives I have with it, then we'll jump into the negative (yes not plural, one SMALL negative). THE POSITIVES - Doesn't feel cheaply made: Sure, it is for sure much lighter than the AAA developed controllers most people are familiar with but that is the least of my worries. Besides it feeling light, the build doesn't look cheap despite the price you are paying for it. It's hard to describe into words unless you hold it yourself. - No stick drift on either the left and right stick: I have owned AAA officially licenced controllers before and some of them have stick drift within a few months, still haven't had that issue. That's what the Hall Effect technology in this controller is for and it ACTUALLY works! Metal joints - anti-stick drift. I wish ALL controller companies would adopt this technology but they don't do it to intentionally make you spend $100 later down the road again for their product. At least with 8BitDo, they don't cheap out. If you are sick of spending $100 on a controller just because of the name and it has stick drift issues just a few months in, this controller is perfect for you. It seems you will actually get good use out of this! Buttons STILL WORK AS NEW! - Another big issue I was sick and tired of seeing with all of the controllers I bought in the past. It doesn't matter if it was cheap brand 3rd party controller knockoffs or the real thing, eventually with how heavy I game, one or 2 of the buttons will at first get sticky and barely pop back out than eventually get COMPLETELY stuck into the controller! Sure, you could just buy rubber button pads to replace them, if you know what you are doing that is by taking the controller apart, etc. HOWEVER with this controller, STILL no issues with buttons getting stuck! They still work like brand new buttons. I would figure there would be SOME wear and tear by now but I am honestly flabergasted a controller company finally managed to get something right! It's that rare! Now for the ONE NEGATIVE: (and honorable mention but could be my fault) - This really isn't THAT much of a deal breaker for me, it really isn't but the controller is a tad too small for the average hands. If you are used to holding a Xbox controller, Switch or even Playstation you probably got used to the perfect size to fit your hands and this might be the one thing that might make you decide not to buy this controller. I hope it isn't especially if you are sick of the stick drifts and the buttons getting stuck like I said earlier. It will take some getting used (it did for me). It isn't really that small, just smaller than those controllers I mentioned, it doesn't fit perfectly is all I am saying. If you can get over that, this controller is perfect for you! The honorable mention negative (again could be my fault). Those extra buttons (L4 & R4 - under shoulder buttons) I haven't got to work for anything I have played so far, at least emulation wise. To be fair, I haven't tested it on any Steam games or anything, so if it works for you on Steam with input mappings, GREAT! Glad you got it to work for you but emulation at least with Switch and Gamecube/Wii so far, those buttons won't map out at all. Not even close to a deal breaker though. I don't need those buttons for anything, so does most games. Perhaps could be used for shortcuts of some kind on PC, sure but that's the extent of the use for them I bet. Anyways, to wrap up. Really a 4.8. Only .2 points docked for size, otherwise no exaggeration, THE BEST controller I have ever owned! It works as advertised, and haven't had a SINGLE issue with it thus far! Almost 4 months of use by the way. I WILL continue to buy from 8BitDo going forward. They have a customer for life right here!
