use coupon code WELCOME to lower the price to $15.63, and no tax for me either.

New coupon 10OFF, make it 10% off, two coupons can not stack.

I bought 4 of these a while back for a similar price, and they are amazing for local multiplayer games.
- 4 of these cost as much as 1 regular Xbox controller
- They come with 2.4GHz dongles, so you don't have to muck with Bluetooth
- They come with hard shell cases for storage (which hold the dongles)
- They can connect wired/dongle/wirelessly to a switch. Ours had a lot of lag trying to do 3 of them at once wirelessly, but we're also in a high-interference area
- You can virtually swap the buttons to the switch layout for emulators and such
- It has a turbo function
- hall effect sticks

For my couch PC game local multiplayer setup, these are the best I've ever found and it's not even close. Because they're cheap w/ Hall effect sticks, I don't feel too bad about them getting disrespected during general use by my friends who don't treat their stuff as nicely as I do. They are miles ahead of any first party controller in terms of features, which is hilarious given they're $16. The only drawback is that they don't work with an Xbox, but that's because Microsoft is a greed machine. Go download the manual if you want to see everything these can do, I love these things

I have this exact model and it's great. GameSir makes some good controllers, there's absolutely zero reason to buy one of the more expensive options. This one only has hall effect sticks, not triggers, but the sticks are more important IMO.

Based on appearance, this is somehow a rebranded Google Stadia controller shell, right?

If so, these sit amazingly in my slightly-larger-than-average hands without being at all bigger or harder for other players to pickup

The layout of the stadia controller is different. They do copy their color schemes though.

Does this work with newer games like Clair Obscure and Stellar Blade? I bought the 8Bitdo Ultimate 2C and it didn't work with those 2 games.

Can anyone confirm if these pair with Tesla for in-car games? I haven't been able to pair any Xbox controllers successfully.

Hard to go wrong with a decently reviewed controller for under $16. I'll give it a try, but I get the feeling I'll use my Ultimate 2C and Dualsense more.

I was thinking the same thing, like someone had made a business out of reworking unsold Stadia stock or something. But, as others have noted, it is a different layout.

you are doing something wrong then. my 8bitdo works fine with E33. For PC, any x-input controller works like an xbox controller.

I have one, and the best feature is that is works with PC (emulating an XBox controller both wired and wirelessly via dongle) and iPad (via bluebooth, probably emulating a PS4 controller). The sticks are a lot lighter than an XBox controller though.

2.4hz controllers having lag? that is concerning. I guess this is a pass then. 8bitdo 2Cs are not that much more on sale.

Why not? What's wrong?

looks too slim and not rounded palm grips

plastic probably will smooth over shorter time to make oils unbearable

At this price, why not! In for one. Play PC and Switch, so should be a good multiplatform option.

Do these feel as good Microsoft Xbox controllers?
Not exactly the same. However, to me the Nova Lite feels closer to the Xbox controllers compared to the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C. The Nova Lite has more of an A-shape which I find more comfortable to hold versus the more H-shape on the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C.

The case is also super compact and convenient for travel, and reduces the likelihood of losing the dongle.

I've used the controller on PC (dongle), Steam Deck (dongle via USB-C dock), Android (bluetooth) and iOS (bluetooth) and it worked fine on all those platforms.

I've purchased 5x of these controllers to date from AliExpress: 1x for myself and 4x others for my niece and nephews as gifts. The controller is pretty standard and the button layout is in the XBox format/style and specifically works for PC. To take it a step further, I played and beat Watch_Dogs for a 2nd time using this controller the whole time last summer, and the only issue I ran into was that if I did a certain button combo/press mistakenly, it will cause the player to lose contol or in my case, the game's run function (L1) for the character wouldn't work so I had to pause the game and completely desync the controller and resync it up again to get things working properly as it should.
However, Bluetooth does work, but it's lousy from my epxerience since it makes the button configuration out of of tune. However, I've gotten this controller to work on AndroidTV devices (e.g., NVIDIA Shield) that contain a USB-A port and they recognize the controller just fine. Just be mindful that the dongle will stick out like a sore thumb.
For those of you who would still like to get Bluetooth working on this controller, I provided some tips on this Reddit thread [reddit.com] based on my experience using it, and user still give me kudos for their appreciation to this day.

I just used my 8bitdo and anbernic controller on both games and it works fine. Make sure your controller is set to PC mode. Check the manual on how to change the mode.
