Awesome controller, it has basically everything that the regular Xbox controller has and more for cheaper. Only issues is that mine came with a small scratch (barely noticeable) and it feels somewhat lighter than a regular PS4 controller.
Good news is 8bitdo notified me that I could leave the dongle inside the dock (while the dock is plugged into the PC). Sincd I plugged it in there, I’ve had no connection issues since.
My only major gripe on the build is the sharp, scratchy edges on the inside of the handles. I don’t particularly like the tension on the triggers either, and those are scratchy and sharp as well on some edges.
I love love love the dock, the subtle light on the bottom showing it charging or not. The fast connection when you pick it up out of the dock. Glorious.
Price is good. Compatibility with Steam games, PC games, and emulators is absolutely superb. I finally have a proper PC gamepad that has a more reliable connection than an Xbox or Bluetooth controller, AND has the classic Xbox ABXY button layout which is synonymous with PC gaming.
I am pleased with my purchase. I would like to see a model in the future that addresses some of the build decisions I mentioned above.
Siendo directo, el control es excelente, su tacto se siente bien, sus anlogos al ser los tan aclamados “Hall Effect” o sea de imn hace que se sientan super suaves y comodos y su conectividad y duracin de batera, igual 10/10
Si necesitas un control para PC y este te llama la atencin, adelante sin miedo
I bought this cause my son loves the color purple but its actually a great controller.
We keep it docked to a steam deck and it charges then auto connects when its picked up, exactly what I’ve been looking fo
This controller is great. So far the only issue I have run into is getting it connected to the bluetooth of my Legion go but there is also a wireless dongle that can be plugged into a dock. Other than that this controller is very comfortable, the weight feels good, it has vibration functions, you can also program the buttons on the back but this is only done in their software so there is limitations to what can be done. I do like that they have different button profiles you can set up though. Also the charging base is pretty sleek a little bit hard to grab the controller if you have it in a tighter space though. I would hands down recommend this.
All the buttons and the triggers feel great, and the joysticks are incredible. I do dislike the hard edge buut I rarely touch it when playing. The controller is definitely worth $50 and is super responsive. I also love the purple color I got.
It took a little while to get the connection on the steam deck, but once the deck finally recognized the controller the connection was solid. I did need to connect the 2.4g dongle directly to the USB port on the USB C hub to get the deck to properly recognize the controller.
Aside from the initial connection hiccup the controller itself is very nice. The buttons are crisp and responsive, the hall effect joysticks feel fantastic, and the triggers are *chefs kiss*.
The only remaining issue is that the 8BitDo Ultimate software doesn’t have Linux support so to do any remapping of the buttons/joysticks/triggers I’ll need to use the Android software. Not a massive issue, but it would be more convenient to do the adjustments directly on Linux.
All in all, I’m happy and the issues are manageable.
