Looks like a great controller and good reviews for anyone playing at a PC. Won't work with Xbox.

Won't work with XBox even with a wired connection?

For all the talk that Phil Spencer and XBox makes, they didn't allow open standard NVMe storage expansion, 3P Controllers which are certified 'Made for XBox' still only work wired, and the alternative is their first party controller that's got drift issues for since forever - they should open up to 3p device makers who can come up with competitively priced controllers with Hall effect switches.

8bitdo makes good quality controllers. I'd like to get one, but man, these colors schemes are hideous.

Seeing a lot of user error posts and reviews on Amazon for the C, not the 2C, do you have any specific posts?

Based on what I'm seeing the "Ultimate software" only updates the firmware on the 2C and that's all, it doesn't remap buttons or do any other fancy things, I think some people were expecting that it did.

Once you hit about 20 or so you won't be worried about what scams parents allow people to run on their children on xbox. Then you will own a pc an can just get scammed differently by Linus an Gates. Typical scam. Run it for gerations/age groups an then have a new one set up as everyone in an age bracket moves on. Not enough support to change anything anywhere since the divide. Monkeys clearly could have never evolved to build buildings cause it works so well it actually regresses the species it's done on

If it's the same as the wireless in wired mode: 5ms of input latency in MiSTer (which is actually not bad).

can confirm it works fine on windows 11 including 24h2. I have a wireless version and friend has the wired one.

Lowest price was $15 a little while ago, and $13, to 12.79 last December. Mabe will get a lower drop near xmas or January.

Agree they say Windows but looks like a NO.

The three different colors that I've seen in person (Blue, pink, and orange) look a lot better in person than the photos online.
