    Out of all the controllers I have played with, this controller is by far the best! The looks of it are amazing! They remind me of the old NES controller.
    Also, it is very satisfying when you push the buttons on it. Makes me win every time I play games. Deserves 5 stars!

    The controller is solid and responsive with great feedback. My only complaint is there wasn’t much in the way of documentation included in the box but it is all available online.

    I mostly game on PC so I originally had an Xbox controller to use for certain games. I ended up buying this controller because I wanted one that was dpad-focused and wireless. Over the years I’ve had a few third-party controllers that have all had mediocre quality compared to first-party controllers, but that all changed after I purchased this one. I was surprised by the build quality of the buttons, sticks, and triggers because they felt like something you would get from more premium products. Nothing on this controller feels “cheap” and so far everything I’ve played hasn’t had any issues. I’ve tested out retro games, modern games that use sticks, and driving games that use analog triggers, and they all feel great. An added bonus is that I can also use this controller for my Switch, Android phone, and even my bluetooth-compatibly retro handhelds. The battery is rechargeable but also removable so you can add your own AA batteries if that’s your thing, and the battery life itself is solid and lasts around the same amount of hours other firsr-party controllers would have. I have yet to run into any issues with this controller and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants something reliable for their Switch or PC.

    I haven’t used a controller since the Xbox 360 days but using this made me want to switch from keyboard and mouse. It’s really premium feeling and the mode switching and all the features are great. It holds great too. Coming with the vibration is a bonus. It also comes with a swappable battery so you can get even longer times. Works very well too and works on iOS and android and has the phone stand you can get separately which is pretty good for emulation. Only complaint is that there aren’t many colourways and the existing options are kind of ugly imo. I would’ve wished for a full white version just like the black but I don’t really mind it too much. Good controlle

    Golden Review Award: 14 From Our UsersGreat controller! Feels comfortable in my hands, responsive, stylish, everything you’d want. If you want a dualshock shaped controller that can read natively as almost anything else, this is for you. The only reason I withhold a star is because out of the box the joysticks were giving wonky readouts, like 100% when fully to the left on the left stick, but only 82% when fully forward on the front stick unless I pressed it in, in which it’d jump to a random number between 80-100%. This was mostly fixed by downloading and running their firmware updater software, but I still only get 92-97% readout aimed forward, so I had to tune in my deadzone a bit to get it to work just right. So while it’s excellent, and 8bitdo have provided all the tools you need to get it working exactly how you want it, it requires a bit of testing and calibration to perform optimally. Hopefully the firmware will continue to improve and shore up that last few percents of error, and they’ll start arriving that way out of the box.
