I bought two last time they were this price and honestly they are my favorite controllers. I prefer them to my KK3 mostly because if the dock. Don't sleep on these they are worth their weight.

I wish Microsoft would let anyone make decent wireless controllers for Xbox. Even if the dock was the wireless dongle, I'd accept that.

Heck yeah. Got one in the last deal for my PC and I love it. Connects quickly when taken off the dock, I can't feel any lag in the wireless connection, and having it constantly topped up is fantastic. Going to snag another at this price to use with my Steam Deck when that's connected to the TV.

Quick tip - USB3's spec can cause wireless interference, so if you plug it in near other devices it may have issues connecting or being recognized. I resolved that by plugging the receiver in via a USB C adapter instead of directly into a standard USB port. Hopefully that info saves someone else the bit of headache I experienced trying to troubleshoot.

Is this any meaningful upgrade over the ultimate 2C that I just got for 30 bucks? Only real problem I have is the bumpers feel so cheap like I'm gonna break them in rocket league but everything else feels great.

The ultimate 2c was just announced. Probably worth getting that or waiting unless you really want the doc

This is the best PC controller, in my opinion. It's worth a little more for the one with gyro, though.
Do you know if that motion control can be used on PC? I read the description and it says "Switch Only" but dont know if thats just from a native use perspective. Wish the Xbox version could use motion too.

Looks like the 2.4G version doesn't support the Switch?
This model supports PC and Android only. There is another Bluetooth model that supports PC and Switch (more expensive, with the Switch layout).

The joysticks may not have issues (hall effect) but reviews are saying other buttons aren't registering. $4 is a small price to pay for 2 year peace of mind and replacement if things don't go well.

This one supports Switch. It does not support Android, however. It is a bit confusing as both joysticks have Bluetooth support, just for different things. If you only use it on PC, then it is probably not worth paying more for it.

For PC gaming, these are my absolute favourite controllers. I was looking for an alternative after my Microsoft controllers started randomly dropping connection with two different Xbox wireless dongles. Grabbed one of these exact models on Temu, direct from 8BitDo for $26.

Ended up buying three more and replacing the other official Microsoft controllers and a Sony Dualsense.

No connection issues, ever.

Dock is great for charging, far more convenient Vs plugging in and having wires everywhere.

8bitdo software is simple for reprogramming back paddles.

Honestly everything you can ask for in a gaming controller.

Someone asked if the gyro works for pc with the Bluetooth edition. If it does, I haven't been able to figure it out. Only one of my four controllers is the Bluetooth+2.4ghz edition that supports gyro.

This YouTube video seems to suggest it does in fact work with some tinkering.

Good controllers, but LB and RB are like the face buttons, but stiffer. Wish they were like the 1st party xbox controller bumpers

I might get this but has anybody tried the ManbaOne Interactive Screen Wireless Gaming Controller? I just wanted one good controller for PC use. If anybody has some insight.
